What is a short sale? “Short Sale” is not referring to a duration of time but referring to a short payoff meaning the seller is upside down. In a short sale the seller is trying to sell a home for less money than (s)he OWES on the property and is asking the mortgage company to forgive or write off the difference. For example, if a seller owes $250,000 on a home but can only sell it for $200,000 there would still be a balance of $50,000.The seller could go get an offer from a qualified buyer to purchase their home then apply for a short sale thru their mortgage holder to see if the bank will forgive or write of the difference. The contract to purchase the homes is still between the buyer and seller/owner of the home but the seller has an agreement with their current mortgage(s) holder to forgive the remaining balance and convey title with no mortgage liens.
