If you’re behind on your mortgage or facing foreclosure, you’ve probably heard the term short sale…
But what does it actually mean—and more importantly…
👉 Can you walk away without bringing money to closing?
Let’s break it down.
💡 What Is a Short Sale?
A short sale happens when your lender agrees to accept less than what you owe on your mortgage to avoid foreclosure.
Example:
- You owe: $250,000
- Home value: $180,000
- Bank agrees to accept: Less than what’s owed
👉 Instead of foreclosing, the bank allows the home to be sold and the debt to be resolved through negotiation.
💸 Do You Have to Pay Out of Pocket?
This is the #1 concern we hear from homeowners:
👉 “Am I going to have to bring money to closing?”
The good news:
In many short sale situations:
- ✔️ Zero money out of pocket
- ✔️ No repairs required
- ✔️ No upfront fees
- ✔️ No closing costs
At HouseKeyOffers, we structure deals to make the process as easy as possible—so you can move forward without added financial stress.
