Waiting Period in Purchasing a Home After a Short Sale was
Recently Changed to 3 Years
The Texas Group Realtors recently received a question from a buyer. Here is her question.
Email phillis@txhomerealty.com to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.
"I just read your article Frequently Asked Questions about Short Sales. You mention that you can obtain another home loan two years after a short sale.
Who are these lenders and how can I contact them? I have been looking but so far no luck. Everyone is insisting we must wait three years. I'd appreciate any information you can provide."
We just heard back from our mortgage broker on this issue. Fannie Mae recently changed their guidelines for a loan after a short sale.
(Since most lenders and loan programs follow Fannie Mae's Guidelines, that means that almost every single lender changed their policies as well.)
When we wrote the article their guidelines had said that you had to wait two years after a short sale. Now those guidelines have been changed to 3 years.
The good news is that you can still buy a house after a short sale. Life does go on and will go back to normal. No matter how bad things may seem, they will get better.
Before you know it the 3 years will pass and you can buy another home. The housing market is still flat and will probably be flat over the next 3 years.
So you will be able to buy the next house for substantially less than what you paid for your current home. Thinking about a short sale?
