There are several ways to sell a home in today's real estate market. One of these methods is selling a home short of what is owned to the lender.  Short Sales are a type of listing that the homeowner is selling their property because they are facing foreclosure in the months to come. These are similar to foreclosures, but vary just a bit. A short sale is different than foreclosures because the homeowner is working with the bank to sell. Lender calls all shots and the seller agrees to keep the home in marketable condition to sell. 8-10 foreclosures will be purchased with some degree of damage or major remodel needed. With a Short Sale, you have a much better chance of finding a move-in ready home rather than a home needing a makeover. Plus, if you find the short sale fast enough, you can be certain that you can purchase the home at 18% discount generally from other existing homes in the neighborhood.

This is a great way to purchase a home if you have time to be patient and wait for the approval from the lender. This process can and will take months to complete with an average time from submitting an offer is 3-12 months. This all depends on the bank that holds the loan. Your not going to get a short sale in Texas at 50% of its value, instead you will get the home at 81% - 85% from neighborhood comparables. Last, the listed price is just an approximate amount to sell and not a final price. The lender must approve the sells price not the homeowner. The lender not the seller only approves the discount.  In most cases, a lender won't pay your closing costs or make any repairs. If you need these fees covered, do not waste months hoping the lender will approve them because you will be disappointed? Short Sales are a good deal; the lender is losing money and will not give you the house just to get it off their books.
