What is a Short Sale?
“The term ‘short sale’ is used to describe a sale in a situation where there is more debt owing against a property than the property’s value. In a loan default situation, (pre-foreclosure) the creditor(s) may be willing to agree to allow the property to be sold for less than the loan amount and/or accept less than (or “short”) the amount owed as payment in full.”
~ Arizona Association of Realtors®
