Short Sales and Foreclosures for 2011

Foreclosures & Short Sales will rise in 2011, however home owners need to understand that the quicker they let go and sell their home, the faster they can rebound and re-purchase another home in two years for a lower price. Vs.  allowing their home to go to foreclosure sale.  The home owner will need to wait 3 years for Fha financing and 5 years for conventional financing. Bankruptcy is one tactic that homeowners are doing to slowdown the foreclosure process. If you are someone who filed Bankruptcy, Fha requires that you wait 2 years to get Fha financing.  Also once the home owner  make the decision to sell their home the healing process can begin.

Good info Tracy.  I've been told that if the short seller "keeps their nose clean" they can get FHA in as little as 24 months???

That is a true statement. I have verified that and in fact have a previous seller that I sold her home that she paid $429K for lived in it for 14 months, made more than enough money to pay the mtg, she actually took a job out of the area and couldn't sell it for anywhere near the $415K she owed. We did a short sale, cash buyer brought an offer for $190K bank took it, lender did not issue any type of deficiency judgement for difference, she walked away free and clear...and recently called me to start looking to buy another home. I think THAT is going to cause a bigger problem in the end than the sub-prime mtgs and the current situation we are experiencing. TWO YEARS is not enough time for people to really process and learn not to repeat the same mistakes. I hope I am wrong but I think it should be more like 5 yrs.

Hope this answers the question.... have a great day
