A Short Sale simply stated is listing your home at today’s market value or even slightly less which is commonly known as being upside down. The lender then must agree to accept this as full payment of the loan even though more is owed on the mortgage and it is not guaranteed this will happen.

This being said, a homeowner may ask why they should consider a Short Sale and there is one answer which is your Credit Score. In the past the homeowner had to be behind in payments before a Short Sale was even looked at but that has changed. Though it is difficult to negotiate a Short Sale when your payments are current it can be done. A Short Sale does NOT affect your credit rating in a negative way; it is the late payments and foreclosures that knock your score down. A foreclosure will generally take 200 to 300 points off your credit report and you will not be able to obtain a home loan for anywhere between 24 to 72 months; it usually is in the 5 to 7 year range before you will be able to obtain any type of decent interest rate.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to negotiate a Short Sale before you fall behind on your mortgage payments you will be able to obtain a loan just as though nothing has happened. Most people find themselves behind in payments before trying to make the painful decision on what to do next. If you are behind 90 days and get your home sold through a Short Sale rather than letting it go to foreclosure you should be able to obtain a home loan within 24 months which is certainly much better than the 5 – 7 years for a foreclosure. Again, if you are able to do a Short Sale before falling behind in your payments you credit reports stays intact. It is difficult knowing that you are not going to profit by dollars in the pocket from the sale of your home but being able to protect your credit score is an investment in the future.
