Three Great Reasons You Would Buy a Short Sale!

Three Reasons to Buy a Short Sale

Many buyers are concerned when they see a short sale. And there are reasons to be more aware of what buying a short sale involves. But there are some very valid reasons to decide to pursue buying a short sale!!

You Fell in Love with the Home!

This is obviously a good reason to pursue buying a short sale! People have the misconception that short sales are broken and worn down homes that are undesirable and that is why they are being sold as a short sale. But this is false! A home being sold as a short sale could be a very well loved and up kept home! And even if it needs some updates or extra care, it may be the perfect size and location for your family and is worth putting some equity into it!

It is a Good Deal!

Some short sales are priced below market value and you are able to get them for less than they are worth. This is not usually the case because the bank is trying to make back as much as they can and not lose money! But they also do not want a house sitting for months or going into foreclosure. So as long as you have a good realtor who is familiar with short sales and negotiating with the bank, they may be able to help get the best price for the property!

Less Competition!

Being under priced is not the only reason a home could be a good deal. If there are few homes on the market or it is a very competitive market with buyers snatching up homes as soon as they are listed, then a short sale may be a great way for you to go! Many buyers are uneducated about the short sale process and therefore will steer clear of them. Which will mean less interest in an otherwise competitive market!
