New Short Sale Law in CA - SB 458

There is great news both for CA homeowners facing/dealing with a short sale, and for the Realtors® who assist them in the short sale process... Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 458, authored by Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett, into law on Friday, July 15th, 2011.

Under the previous law, SB 931 of 2010, a first mortgage holder could accept an agreed-upon short sale payment as full payment for the outstanding balance of the loan. However, there was a defect is the rule. It didn't apply to junior lien holders. This meant that lenders could still demand the balance of the junior lien after the short sale process was complete in many cases.

But SB 458 extends the protections of SB 931 to junior liens as well. Under SB 458, a lender who agrees to a short sale now must accept the short sale amount as payment in full of the outstanding balance of all the loans. Homeowners can breath much easier knowing that they will not go through the short sale process only to find out that the lender could come after them for additional payment.

"As the economic recession continues to impact Californians, SB 458 will allow homeowners forced to sell at a loss to have closure at the end of the process," said Corbett, in a statement to the Union-Tribune. "By extending anti-deficiency protection to all loans on a home when a short sale occurs, a homeowner can use a short sale as an alternative to foreclosure or bankruptcy."

C.A.R President President Beth L. Peerce said, in a statement, "The signing of this bill is a victory for California homeowners who have been forced to short sell their home only to find that the lender will pursue them after the short sale closes, and demand an additional payment to subsidize the difference. SB 458 brings closure and certainty to the short sale process and ensures that once a lender has agreed to accept a short sale payment on a property, all lienholders - those in first position and in junior positions - will consider the outstanding balance as paid in full and the homeowner will not be held responsible for any additional payments on the property."

The passing of this much needed law has helped button up the short sale process for CA residents. In addition, SB 458 contains an urgency clause which makes it effective upon signing. Hallelujah!
