How does a mortgage short market work, and how will it effect my credit?
I'm tryin to sell my house in Michigan. We enjoy had it up for sales for 2 months, and have only one showing. We can't lower our asking price any lower then it currently is in need having to come to closing with money. (that I don't have) Since our realtor already lowered his commission he suggested conversation to our mortgage company about a short sale. What is your view?
Answers:
With a short sale, you are selling your home for less than the harmonize due on the mortgage. This way you are still paying back some of what you owe to the mortgage company and avoiding foreclosure and subsequently ruin. You need to make sure the lender will agree to the short Dutch auction and will not hold you responsible for the deficiency balance. Get any agreements you net with them in writing. Good luck!
In a short public sale, you are asking your mortgage company to accept the proceeds of the sale as full settlement of your debt. This is better than a foreclosure, but is still a partial forgiveness of the debt. A smaller quantity damaging option may be to convince the edge to allow the sale and give you a loan for the difference. Unless you can afford to preserve the house, you are better of with one of these options.
