Should I Buy A Short Sale?

Frankly, Charlotte Short-Sales are one of the best deals in the marketplace.  These homes sell for 5% to 10% BELOW bank owned homes; which helps to make them the best deals on the market.  Only make an offer on a Short Sale when you are certain that the agent who is selling the home and your agent as a buyer both know the process involved in Short Sales.  Be prepared because the process cold take up to 6 months or more.  If your agent understands how the Short Sale works and what’s needed to complete the entire process, things undoubtedly will go smoother for you. So what are the key steps to getting into a Short Sale? Key Step 1 – Do you have the time?  Short Sales take longer, plain and simple.  Charlotte Short Sales can take 60 days up to 9 months.  This is, once again, where your agent knowing what they are doing and understanding the entire process of a Short Sale is important.  Now keep in mind not every situation is “normal”; about 70% of situations are “normal”.  You also have to also keep in mind that Short Sales are up from 8% in 2010 to 28% in 2011.  That means that Short Sales are definitely going a lot faster, but you still have to make sure that you have a little bit of time. Here’s an example of what happens with a Short Sale; a home that sold 3 years ago for $527,000 sold in a Short Sale for $275,000.  That same home, if it were bank owned, might sell for about $350,000.  So Short Sales are definitely the best deal out there; but you have to make sure you have the time that it’s going to take to do the process and do it right.  So why do they banks do this?  Once again, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  They want their money and they want it as fast as possible. Key Step 2 – Work with a Carolina Living Realtor that KNOW’s Short Sales.  Be blunt; ask them right up front to show you their track record with Short Sales.  Tell them to give you proof that they know Short Sales.  A good realtor understands the process and makes your life a little easier.  As a buyer, you’re not paying for the fees, the bank is, so you want to make sure you get a realtor that is good and is going to work for you.  Carolina Living as The listing agents we work with a local law firm to assist us with negotiating with the banks. This is a recommendation we make to help expedite the process. If you are considering a short sale of your home, we can put you in touch with them to get all your questions answered. Key Step 3 – Be open minded to a counter-offer from the bank.  Most of the time a bank will make a counter-offer.  Be willing to consider it.  The banks are willing to work with you, they’re just NOT willing to give the home away.  They go off the BPO (Broker Price Opinion). Again, your realtor should know and understand this process and the listing realtor definitely needs to know. So why do banks do Short Sales?  Frankly, banks make more money on a Short Sale than they do on a foreclosure.  They make 10%-13% more money on a Short Sale.  The home stays in better shape when they’re making a Short Sale because the owner lives in it until the closing.  There are no added costs of maintenance and upkeep for the bank if the owner remains in the home.  It’s a more solid deal for the bank than allowing the home to go into foreclosure.  If they can get it done in a Short Sale they’re better off financially. It’s all about the money.  That is why your offer needs to be a fair offer and not 40% to 60% below the market value.  Have your realtor run a market analysis for you before you make the offer so you have something to back you up. So if you want to make an offer at 40-60% below the market value, then be prepared to wait 12-20 months for you to get to a final deal.  It comes down to being realistic.
