A bank short sale is a sale for property in which the sale falls short of the balance owed on the property’s loan. This happens when a borrower cannot pay the mortgage loan on their property, but the lender agrees to sell the property at a loss rather than pressing the borrower.
Short sales have become a solution for borrowers that cannot pay off their property debts. The borrower and the lender agrees to a short sale process, hence foreclosure is avoided. The main difference of a foreclosure to a short sale is that a foreclosure is forced by a lender while a short sale is when both the lender and borrower agree. With a bank asset sale, the borrower loses his home but he avoids foreclosure, a bad track record and all the unnecessary stress that comes with it.
