With the current downward trend in real estate, and the rapid rise of sub-prime loan defaults, properties ready to go into foreclosure are sure to be on the rise. Because of the increasing amount of people not being able to meet their loan obligations, loans are quickly going into default. A large amount of people will be ready to throw in the towel, and don't know how to find a way out of their situation.

Luckily for distressed homeowners, many experienced investors like to use to buy distressed homes called a short sale.

A short sale is kind of property sale where the market value of the home is less than the balance of the mortgage on the home. The mortgagor accepts a sale amount that is under the amount of the loan. The noteholder essentially agrees to that the final sales price of the home is the full payment for said property.

Why would a lender accept the terms of a short sale?

There are many reasons, but a big reason is that the note holder has decided that when the numbers are put on paper, it would be a better deal for the lender to agree to an amount less than what the tacoma short sales loan is worth, than it would to outlay the funds needed for an expensive foreclosure. If a bank winds up spending money for expenses that are related to a foreclosure, it is likely that the costs incurred by the note holder (court fees, attorney fees, etc.) than it would be to sell the property for an amount less than what the loan is worth.

Not only that, owning property is the last thing a lender wants to do. A lending institution's goal is to loan money to borrowers, and when a mortgage company has to hold foreclosed assets, there is a smaller amount of funds available to lend.

Not just working out for the bank, the short sale also makes sense for the homeowner. The owner can feel at ease by paying off the loan and walk away from the sale without having to have been foreclosed on. This can rescue the homeowner from a marginal credit record. In several instances this can help the property owner avoid bankruptcy.

Last but not least, the short sale works for the investor because it allows him to purchase a home at below market value. The short sale is one of those rare transactions where everybody wins.
