Note: An unapproved short sale basically means that the home has been listed at a price less than what is owed and the bank or lender has not approved the listed price. The approval process may take months and the bank may require a higher sales price or even foreclose on the home after a buyer has submitted an offer.

This is exactly what just happened with 42 Villa Gardens Court, Roseville, CA 95678 - the bank foreclosed on the home on 7/29/10, the day before the listing agent sent an offer to the bank's short sale department. This home had remained on the market as "active short contingent" (meaning an offer has been submitted on a short sale, but it has not been approved) for 26 days AFTER it had foreclosed, when I wrote a blog post about it and notified the listing agent.

Home Is STILL Listed As "Short Contingent"...But The Bank Foreclosed 26 Days Ago!

Do you ever see a home listed as a short sale that's priced significantly under market value that seems too good to be true? I just noticed a listing in Villemont, a gated community in Roseville, CA where I also have a home for sale (not a short sale or bank owned). These "unapproved" short sale listings do nothing but bring the neighborhood comps down under a false pretense.

• If a home listed as a short sale does NOT have bank approval AND it's listed way under market value AND it already has a notice of trustee sale...it's NOT very likely that the home can be purchased for its asking price.

For example, there is a short sale currently listed on the MLS as "active contingent" in the gated community of Villemont in Roseville, CA. This home has been contingent since July 30, 2010...but the bank foreclosed and took it back on July 29, 2010! Below is a screenshot showing that this property became an REO (Bank Owned) on 7/29/10:

Below is a screenshot showing that the property status changed to "Active Short Contingent" on 7/30/10:

SHORT SALE TIMELINE FOR 42 VILLA GARDENS COURT, ROSEVILLE, CA 95678:

1. Notice of default on 9/14/2009
2. Notice of trustee sale on 6/8/2010
3. Listed on the MLS as a short sale on 6/28/2010
4. Foreclosed and bank-owned on 7/29/2010
5. MLS status changed to "contingent" on 7/30/2010

How awful for the buyer of this home and the buyer's agent...they're probably still waiting to see if the bank "approves" their short sale offer! Hopefully, the listing agent will notify them when he receives notification that his listing is no longer valid and should be withdrawn. Maybe this buyer will be interested in my listing...and it's NOT a short sale!
