The average number of sales was only down 2.3% compared to the year before and the average sales price was actually up .10% for the same period (compared to the -26.9% in December).

A buyer wants to put an offer in on a bank owned foreclosure. They find out there is currently an accepted offer and decide to wait and see what happens. Here&#39;s the problem with that scenario, if the current accepted offer falls through (which happens often), the listing agent will typically contact the current back up offers and see if their offers still stand.

You sell the house for less than is owed and the bank accepts that payment and removes the mortgage (the security that attaches to the properties title). So what are some of the pro&#39;s to selling your home as a short sale: 1.
