What Is a Short Sale?
A short sale happens when your Las Vegas home sells for market value, but that amount is less than what you currently owe on the mortgage. In these situations, the lender must approve the sale and agree to accept less than the full loan balance. Short sales are often an option for homeowners experiencing hardship and looking to avoid foreclosure.

 

Short Sale vs. Foreclosure
Foreclosure occurs when the lender takes control of the property and sells it at auction after missed payments. A short sale is different it allows you to stay in control of the sale process and can be far less damaging to your credit. Federal guidelines require lenders to wait before starting foreclosure, which can create a window of opportunity to pursue a short sale instead.

 

Is It Too Late If I’ve Received a Notice?
Not necessarily. Even if you’ve received a Notice of Default, you may still have time to list your home, secure an offer, and submit a complete short sale package to your lender. In many cases, once a short sale is under review, foreclosure proceedings may be postponed. Acting quickly is critical.
