Are Buyers Interested in Short Sale Properties?

Are you thinking about buying a short sale? Many people would gasp, or look at you sympathetically, if you told them you were buying a short sale.

Some of them would probably warn you about the drawbacks of buying a short sale - one of which would be the waiting period for the short sale to be approved by the mortgage holder.

There is usually an agreement between the home seller and their mortgage holder whereby the mortgage holder agrees to accept the lesser amount than what is owed.

Despite the bad reputation of short sales, a number of buyers are actually interested in short sales. They call and say that they are interested in buying a short sale.

In other situations a buyer falls in love with a home and decides to wait for the short sale to be considered by the lender. This often happens with unique properties.

In one situation we helped a couple short sell a property with a 10 stable horse barn. The property was perfectly setup for horses. Now, this wouldn't matter to someone who doesn't own horses.

But, it was perfect for this buyer and they agreed to wait out the short sale process in the hope of their offer being accepted. Other buyers are interested in good deals.

They know that a short sale can represent a good buy compared to other properties. Yes, short sales do attract fewer buyers than non short sale properties.

But, at the end of the day we can work around that issue those and still successfully short sell your home. Every short sale property we have listed for sale did receive an offer from a buyer.
