Underwater Homeowners Get Much Needed Short Sale Relief – Redding CA
In an effort to conform California state law to a federal law at the end of Dec. 2012 which extended mortgage debt forgiveness, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS is sponsoring Senate Bill 30, so that struggling California homeowners on the brink of foreclosure can get much needed mortgage debt relief.
This bill will for one more year exempt the taxation of mortgage debt that is forgiven when homeowners and their mortgage lenders negotiate a short sale or loan modification and that is including any principal reduction.
What does this mean?
Homeowners who want to or need to sell their home have 6 more months to do so. The average time a short sale takes is four to six months.

Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief extended through 2013
For huge numbers of financially distressed property owners of homes with underwater mortgages, this was the biggest issue in the entire fiscal cliff debate. The mortgage debt relief act provisions in the IRS tax code, first enacted in 2007, expired at midnight Dec. 31 on 2012.
Had Congress not acted, the IRS tax code would have reverted to its pre-2007 treatment of mortgage principal reductions or cancellations by lenders and banks, whether through loan modifications, short sales, deeds-in-lieu or foreclosures: All principal balances written off would be treated as ordinary income to the homeowners who received them.
For illustration, if a lender wrote off $80,000 of debt to facilitate a short sale, the seller would be taxed on that $80,000 at regular marginal rates, just as if they had earned it as income salary.
A return to taxation of principal reductions would have disrupted short sales , a growing segment of the home real estate market in 2013, and almost certainly would have encouraged more struggling home owners to take foreclosure and or bankruptcy.

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…

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

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?
