Can I get a bargain on a short sale?
The short answer is "sometimes". Most people hear the phrase "short sale" and instinctively think of a seller that is insolvent and must sell their home quickly to avoid further financial problems. This is occasionally the case and can be an opportunity for a buyer to make the most of another's misfortune. On the other hand, a lender may consider a short sale even if the seller is current, but property values have fallen. In cases such as these the discounted price may in fact be closer to actual market values instead of below.
