Ok well we signed another home contract!! Keeping our fingers crossed with this home!!UPDATE

We are hoping this home goes thru not like the last one where we waited almost 7 months to hear an answer back from the bank!! Short Sale. This one is another short sale but only one mortage on the home. Sellers attorney seem to be on top of things!!


We just heard the bank counter offered we will see what's going to happen!! If it goes thru we could be closing before the end of April if not soonerChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

is the attorney the one dealing with the bank?

banks (and the investors that bought the loans) really need to find away to streamline this process!

ok good! that "should" work out better

I know alot of realtors are taking them on now- and they really don't know what is involved in the negiotion and the paperwork that must be submited from the borrowers

a new process is suppose to be in place this spring- but I will believe it when I see it

Gotcha let me pick your brain for a second the first home we were in contract for SS for over 8 months back out of it and found this home another SS.
I looked on MLSLI and that original home is back on MLSLI and for less money then we offered?? The home has been on the market for over a year what gives??

I saw this happen with a short sale we were looking at and it turned out real estate bought it up when it was in short sale and then relisted it for a lower price. it was no longer a short sale then either

FM me the address or the MLS number

I have seen this alot - I have also seen the price go UP

they could have gotten the price approved from the bank

they could have just lowered the price

I will take a look at it

a lot of realtors are not listings short sales as short sales - they are leaving that field blank

it doesn't mean it's not a short sale anymore

or it could go from short sale- to bank owned (wouldn't be with the same realtor most likely)

it said real estate owned after the price dropped which it didn't say before. thats why i assumed it wasn't a short sale anymore.

real estate owned is bank owned (REO/foreclosure)

so it went to auction (didn't sell) and now is owned by the bank

most of the time the bank lists it for less then they could have could have gotten on a short sale- I just had it happen to a client with an house in AZ...we listed it locally- they had an offer for $150k bank wouldn't extend the auction date and now it's listed for $135k
