A quick little story from my week: I went to visit a couple of clients today that recently closed on there new mountain home.  There is nothing more pleasing as a Realtor than seeing that great big smile from ear to ear.  One look and you knew – these two have found there special spot that they will forever remember.  The enjoyment they had and my ability to be a part of it was truly rewarding to me.  I am so grateful to be apart of helping people find relaxation, joy, memories of past – and helping them find a place to create more memories for the future.  I am glad to be in a wonderful place like Lake Arrowhead that allows and lends itself to such ideas.

Lake Arrowhead Short Sale

In a Lake Arrowhead  short sale, a homeowner’s lender agrees to accept less than is owed on the mortgage for the Lake Arrowhead Real Estate. It’s a useful alternative for borrowers underwater on their mortgage and on their way to foreclosure. As home prices continue to decline,  Lake Arrowhead short sales have become a viable option for those who need to sell.

Lake Arrowhead Short Sale time frames

Are the savings worth it to you? Consider these five caveats before shopping for a Lake Arrowhead short sale:

1. You will wait in the dark

Perhaps just as frustrating as the wait time is the fact that you likely will not be privy to details as the deal is progressing. That could mean going months without an update for your Lake Arrowhead Real Estate offer.

There are reasons for the wait: A lender could be considering multiple offers. If the seller had both a first and second mortgage, that could also make the process more complicated. The Williamses ran into both scenarios, slowing their process down — and that’s not unusual. The homeowner also has to prove their financial hardship to the lender.

2. Banks will make you a deal, but within reason

There are deals to be found in short sales — but don’t expect outright steals. A buyer needs to make a fair offer, based on comparable homes that have been sold recently, Jenson said. The offer should be aggressive, but not ridiculous, he said.

The misconception is that banks should be happy to get non preforming real estate off the books,  They are, but to a certain point.

Homes that have already been foreclosed on may be even less expensive than a short sale. But bank-owned properties also might be in worse shape, especially if the foreclosure home has been sitting vacant for some time, she added. It’s important to consider the cost of necessary repairs before buying any distressed property.

3. Sales are ‘as is’

In a short sale, it isn’t likely that you will get allowances from the seller for repairs that are needed, as you might in a traditional sale. Do a home inspection and know what you are getting into, but remember that your bid is for the property AS IS.

The seller will not give you a credit for repairs.  The last thing they will do is make repairs. The Lake Arrowhead Real Estate that you are buying will be sold in its current condition.

4. Have a back-up plan

Even if you decide to bid on a short-sale property, it might be best to keep looking anyway.

There is no guarantee with short sales, and if the buyer is smart they will put an offer on a short sale they like and continue to look at properties that interest them.

That said, when a offer is accepted and earnest money is put down, remember that you risk losing those funds if you decide to walk away and buy another home, he added. It may take months before the deal closes, even after the offer is accepted.

5. It’s not only about price

“One thing to not lose sight of is you’re buying a house to live in. Buy a house you like. Prospective buyers should remain open to other Lake Arrowhead Real Estate aside from a short sales such as bank owned and traditional sales and compare prices and features. Lake Arrowhead Short Sale properties continue to be difficult all lender are different and have no obligation to speed up the process.
