How to Short Sale to Avoid Foreclosure – Redding CA.

How to Short Sale to Avoid Foreclosure – Redding CA.

Banks and other lending institutions are continuing to make strides in helping homeowners who want to sale their home inorder to avoid the sting of foreclosure.

For many years now homeowners have been turning to this foreclosure solution.

What is a short sale?

A short sale is when the lender on the property i.e. Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, etc. agree to accept a purchase price from a new buyer that is smaller than the amount the current homeowner owes on the mortgage.

Another reason why short sales may become even more popular…

If the mortgage interest deduction is eliminated by the the US Congress because of the fiscal cliff issues, it would give many more underwater homeowners and other distressed property owners one more reason NOT to hang on to their homes.

Short Sales are a common and much needed real estate transaction in this US economy.

Short Sales take over Foreclosures-Redding CA

Short Sales take over Foreclosures -Redding CA

A short sale in a real estate transaction is when the mortgage lender on the property agrees to accept the mortgage payoff for less the the amount owed on the home.  

Why would banks agree to this?

Banks and mortgage lenders are becoming easier to work with on short sales vs. the other alternative which maybe foreclosure.

A foreclosure to a bank will mean a larger loss to the bank due to legal fees, taxes, insurance and property maintenance.

Large banks such as Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo are offer homeowners incentives to cooperate in a short sale vs. the bank having to contend with a foreclosure.

The short sale process use to take six month to a year, banks are now working to streamline the process and the process is taking about three months now to get a short sale approved

Tax Relief for Distressed Property Owners-Short Sale-Redding CA

Tax Relief for Distressed Property Owners-Short Sale-Redding CA

The pressure is on for 2012 US congress to extend  the mortgage tax relief for homeonwers who may have mortgage debt canceled or forgiven through a short sale.

Did you know the Department of Justice made a settlement with big banks such as GMAC, Ally Bank, CitiMortgage, Chase, Wells Fargo and the biggie Bank of America.

This settlement to the big banks included approx. $25 Billion a Billion with a “B” to help struggling homeowners with loan modifications and other solutions to avoid foreclosure or short sale their home.

The fight is one for the extension of the mortgage debt relief act, extending the tax exemption.

It is anybodys guess if the tax exemptions will be extended.

Learn your options.

Any tax extension may ease the pressure on some distressed homeowners. But it would not eliminate it. All extensions ultimately will have another expiration date, possibly just one more year away.

Short sale real estate transactions can take several months, and the timelines are likely to stretch as homeowners, escrow officers and real estate agents rush to beat the deadlines.

Is a short sale right for you? What happens to the tax extension?

Why do Banks take short sales?-Redding CA

Why do Banks take short sales?-Redding CA

A short sale is how a homeowner can sell the property for less than what is owed on the mortgage. This requires approval from the bank that has the mortgage on the property.

Once the short sale is approved, the lender may either ask for the difference in what is owed, token payments that are a fraction of what is owed or nothing at all.

One of the goals of the Redding Short Sale Team in handling the short sale is to negotiate complete forgiveness of the deficiency.

Most Banks (Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase) prefer that underwater homeowners do a short sale rather than give up their property to foreclosure.

How a short sale is better for both the homeowner and the banks.

Not only can the struggling homeowner buy another home years earlier and easier than if they went through a foreclosure, the banks make more money. Which you know the bank will like.

Be careful, if an offer to purchase comes in too low, the banks will opt for a foreclosure instead. Your bank will do what is best for the bank. If they can make more money on the short sale they will take it.

Foreclosures are tremendously expensive for a bank and they really don’t want your property.

Help for Homeowners who are Underwater-Short Sale-Redding CA

Help for Homeowners who are Underwater-Short Sale-Redding CA

Redding Homeowners who are underwater on their mortgages or are facing other hardships will have an easier time selling their homes for less than what they owe after new federal rules take effect later this Nov, 2012.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has approved measures that speed up short sales and will give more homeowners the option to enter the process. As a result, the housing market will likely experience a spike in short sales, which already account for about 9 percent of home sales, according to real estate tracking website CoreLogic.

Starting Nov. 1 2012 homeowners with either missed mortgage payments or other financial hardships, such as divorce, job loss, or death will be allowed to apply for a short sale on their property.

It is unclear just how many families will benefit from the new short sale rules. However, nearly nearly 5 million homeowners with loans backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are underwater on their mortgages.

This will benefit many struggling homeowners but there are a few drawbacks.

Short sales can still put a ding on the credit scores, even if they are current with their payments.

Lenders such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America,Chase, and Citigroup stand to record major losses on home equity debt if more short sales are approved. But, the losses on short sales could be less than if those same homes went through foreclosure.

By avoiding long foreclosures and lengthy vacancy periods, the mortgage lenders will save time and money in the long run.

As part of the National Mortgage Settlement, major banks have agreed to provide $25 billion in cash and mortgage relief to homeowners and short sales are a part of that relief.

The top five US mortgage lenders granted more than $10 billion in consumer assistance
