Summary: Short Sale DuPage County Foreclosure Rescue
Short sales in DuPage County, IL continue to grow in affluent towns like Glen Ellyn, Oak Brook,and Wheaton. DuPage County has become a hot spot for short sale sellers and buyers.
As more information comes to
light regarding the fraud perpetrated on homeowners from the banks,
homeowners facing foreclosure need to be aware of one thing. You
may be able to hire an attorney specializing in cases like this,
but as of now the courts are favoring the banking industry. You
need to ask yourself this question, 'Do I want to face a long court
battle that I probably will lose and still end up having my home
foreclosed on'?
This is not rocket science
as many would have you believe. Even in a rich county like DuPage home values continue to drop everyday. If
you are in an underwater mortgage and are facing a foreclosure for
any reason the best option to pursue is a short sale of your
home.
Short Sale Definition
A short sale is a real
estate transaction in which the bank agrees to accept a
sum less than the mortgage amount owed by the current owner. In
most cases where your home is your primary residence the lender
will issue you a 1099c. This is a forgiveness of debt on the sum
not payed on the total of the loan amount. If you are short selling
a vacation home or property homeowner must make provisions with
their mortgage company to clear up the remaining
debt.
Short Sales are on the Rise
Nationwide
The obvious reason for this is
the steady unemployment that has many homeowners in position where
they are unable to pay their mortgage. Many workers across the
country has seen their income shrink because they had to take a job
for less pay. With home values still trending downward and many
ARMS still to hit short sales are becoming a booming business for
investors across the nation.The growing awareness by homeowners in distress also have led to more short
sales as the best way to avoid foreclosure and take a smaller hit
on their credit scores.
Why Would My Bank Agree to a Short
Sale?
This is a simple matter of
money. Foreclosures are not cheap. They involve property taxes that
still need to be paid, property preservation costs, and legal fees.
As of late the banks are making it more difficult to process a
short sale. This may simply be due to the ever increasing short
sale offers that they get every day. It would be wise to hire a
short sale expert should you chose this direction to take. They
already have relationships with the lenders.
