Considering Short Sales for Your Las Vegas Homes

RealtyTimes.com, May 10, 2010 – More and
more families today are finding themselves under troubled waters. Their Las Vegas homes, which were once a blessing
has now became a financial burden.  In
order to avoid the disastrous implications of foreclosure on credit
accounts,  homeowners turn to short sales
as a possible remedy to the situation.

To make it simple, a foreclosure happens
when, after not paying for typically about three months, an estate becomes the
absolute property of the lender. And in most cases the homeowner is also held
responsible to pay the difference in the sale of the foreclosed property and
the amount of the loan.

On the other hand, a short sale, according to MSN Money,
is “the sale of a house for less than what the owner still owes on the
mortgage. If the lender agrees to a short sale, the rest of the homeowner’s
debt typically is forgiven. Lenders sometimes agree to the procedure in order
to take a small loss and avoid the lengthy and costly foreclosure
process.” (Quoted from: realestate.yahoo.com)

When considering a short sale,
first, be honest, call your lender, explain the situation, and ask if there are
options you can take so that you won’t lose your home.
