A Few Topics Covered In Our April 2nd Episode

Defining Terms – Short Sale
A short sale can occur when a homeowner wants to sell his or her home but is upside down on the mortgage, possibly due to a downturn in the real estate market. To avoid the difficult and cumbersome process of foreclosure, the bank may agree to allow a homeowner to sell the home for less than the outstanding balance on the mortgage to limit its own exposure and recover a portion of what is owed. This type of real estate sale is called a short sale because the homeowner will “fall short” of paying off the remaining mortgage.[grid_row_close]
