Loudoun to Winchester VA – On our last blog post, we ran some numbers on why a short sale reduces a lender's losses by 20% compared to a foreclosure.

Today I am going to add all the numbers together. That way we can see exactly how much this lender lost by not accepting the short sale.

I am using the real life example of a short sale that was listed for sale for $425,000. The lender turned down an offers for $385,000 and ended up selling the home for $230,000.

Let's add up the costs.

$155,000 in sales price loss. ($385,000 minus $230,000.)

$30,318.75 in lost interest income. ($385,000 lent at 4.5% interest over 21 months.)

$11,411.89 in property taxes that would have been paid by the short sale buyer, but instead were paid by the lender. ($6,521.08 annual property taxes over 21 months.)

$3,000 in estimated foreclosure costs. (This is to pay the foreclosure attorney and the court costs.)

$4,200 in Homeowner's Insurance. ($200 monthly times 21 months.)

$203,930.60 in total lost because they didn't accept the short sale offer. Ouch! I don't care how rich you are (or how many bailouts you received), that is a lot of money.

Yes, these numbers are correct. Real estate is an expensive business. It costs a lot of money to own and maintain a house.

Just look at how much you spend on your mortgage, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, maintaining your house, and mowing your yard. Now multiply that by 21 months. Make sense?

Important Notice

Cindy Greenya, EXIT Realty Talbot & Company, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
