Short Sales Sell For A Higher Price Than A Foreclosure


Short Sales Sell For A Higher Price Than A Foreclosure

People often wonder why their lender will release their debt in a short sale. Most lenders don't like to release the debt. But, they agree to do it because they know that policy nets them more money.

They net more because a home usually sells for more money as a short sale versus after it has been foreclosed upon. Let's go thru a few examples.

Most short sales are being sold while the homeowner lives in the home.  So the house still tends to be in good shape.

The homeowners are able to keep the house up. They keep the inside clean and neat. In addition, they mow the lawn and keep up on the yard.

This makes a big difference in the sales price. Would you rather buy a home that is in great condition or one that needs work?

Now foreclosure homes are normally abandoned and empty.  There is no one there to take care of the property, or keep up the yard everyday.

The inside of the home is probably dirty. Vagrants can break into the home. The home is also an easy target for vandalism.

The bottom line is that most short sales are in better shape than a foreclosed home.  In fact, they are usually in much better shape.

That is why they sell for more money, thereby cutting the lender's losses.
