WHEN A SHORT SALE BECOMES AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY As you probably already know, when an owner of a residential (single family, condominiums, townhomes, lofts, coops, custom homes and ...) or commercial property (office, retail, land, apartment, warehouse, hotel and ...) tries to sell that property for less than what is owed to the bank, we call this a Short Sale.   We are hearing that over 50% of the short sales go bust somewhere along the process with the bank.  Buyers can get very frustrated with this process, also, as sometimes many months will go by with no update from the bank on whether or not the deal will be approved.  In fact, since many short sale properties get many offers, a buyer never really knows where he stands or if his offer is in the lead position or not.   Here are some other contributing factors to the wave of unsuccessful short sales: A realtor, according to the rules of the MLS, is required to change the status of his or her listing to PENDING SALE when the buyer and seller execute the contract.  The problem, however, is that the contract needs bank approval, and many realtors wait until the bank approves the deal before changing the status in the MLS.  If a bank takes 3 or 4 months to approve a deal, the listing shows as Active in the MLS for that entire time.  So, more offers come in (usually low-ball offers, by the way).  The bank sees more offers, and they wait longer.  The end result is that the buyer will often get tired of waiting and will pull out.  Realtors need to better understand the MLS rules and that when they get a signed contract they must update the MLS status to Pending Sale.   A seller and/or his realtor, may believe that they have a short sale offering, but have not done the appropriate due diligence with the lender to see if the lender is open to allowing such a sale.  In general, the seller has to show a financial hardship.  Often, they are just "underwater" with their property and want to sell it.  So, after many months, a buyer may find that the bank does not approve the sale, and all that time is wasted. A seller and/or his realtor fails to prepare sufficient documentation for the bank.  Banks are overwhelmed with short sale offers and requests.  If a seller and his realtor prepare complete documentation, including a report of how much the bank will be forgiving on the loan (and why), they have a much better chance of getting acknowledged.  A typical report package to the lender should include evidence of financial hardship, a sample HUD-1 statement showing all the closing costs and a market analysis that shows why the property should sell for the lowered price.  If a banker has all of this information, his or her decision to grant the sale becomes easier.  A buyer looking for a good deal can pursue a short sale, if he or she has patience, and is willing to wait many months.  Sometimes, this make sense.  However, with many other great deals out there, a buyer may just find that a traditional sale, at a good price, will avoid all the frustration of a short sale.  Plus, the property will be available to the buyer in a matter of weeks, not months.
