The bank could take months to get back to you on a short sale. If you put in an offer make sure you really want the house b/c you could be waiting around a long time for an answer!

My BIL just closed on a house that was a short sale. They originally went to contract in October, so the whole process took about 5 or so months and he got the house at a great price.

Re: whats your thought on Short Sales?
From my understanding, they can take a very long time, so they're best for people who are in situations where they don't have to move right away - like a renter who can go month to month while waiting. If you've got a home you need to sell too, it could be difficult because you can't necessarily predict the timing of the sale.

Re: whats your thought on Short Sales?
In our experience, they were too much of a headache to deal with. We stopped looking at any house that was a short sale after we put in an offer on one and found out that the bank accepts many, many contracts on one house and then plays games with everyone.
