Closing Short Sales since 2008.

Some of West Linn’s most prestigous homes have found their way to the market.  Banks are negotiating West Linn Luxury short sales as an alternative to taking homes back.

We have seen an increase in both foreclosures and short sales here in West Linn, though not represenative for our market as a whole, it is a pricing factor for both buyers and sellers alike.  The critical piece is that the appraiser will use these distressed properties in determining the value of the home.

A successful West Linn Short Sale takes on average 4 months.  The Tax forgiveness act means you DONOT pay taxes on the forgiven amount.  This tax benefit expires at the end of 2012.

Unlock the Short Sale Mystery to closing West Linn Short Sales.

A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale.  Experience shows that short sales can close.  And today, due to overwhelming market changes, banks and lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions. Recent changes in corporate policy have also improved the chances of getting a short sale approved.

Lenders review seller’s financial picture.

For homeowners to qualify for a short sale, they must fall into any or all of the following circumstances:

  • A homeowner is ‘short’ when the amount owed on his/her property is higher than current market value.
  • Financial Hardship – There is a situation causing you to have trouble affording your mortgage.
  • Monthly Income Shortfall – In other words: “You have more month than money.” A lender will want to see that you cannot afford, or soon will not be able to afford your mortgage.
  • Insolvency – The lender will want to see that you do not have significant assets that would allow you to pay down your mortgage.

Lenders settle for less than is owed in a successful short sale.

  •  A short sale occurs when a negotiation is entered into with the homeowner’s mortgage company (or companies) to accept less than the full balance of the loan at closing.
  • A buyer closes on the property, and the property is then ‘sold short’ of the total value of the mortgage.Lenders approve short sale because in the long run it cost them less money.
