Do's and Don't For Greene and Christian County Missouri Short Sales

Do's and Don't For Greene and Christian County Missouri Short Sales

If you live in Greene and Christian County, Springfield Area, you may be finding your home subject to a "Short Sale".Short Sales

Sellers are eligible to sell their home as a short sale of their principal residence or investment property due to:

  • A mortgage adjustment or loan payment increase
  • Separation or divorce
  • Job loss
  • Reduced income
  • Excessive debt
  • Death of a spouse or family member
  • Severe illness
  • Involuntary job relocation
  • Business failure (for the small business owner)
  • Damage to property
  • Inheritance (for heirs receiving ownership of property)
  • Military service
  • Tax or insurance increase
  • Incarceration

Here are some myths about "Short Sales":

  • You DO NOT have to be behind in your payments to quailify for a "Short Sale".
  • The bank would rather foreclose than consider a "Short Sale".
  • There is not enough time to negotiate a "Short Sale".
  • "Short Sales" never get approved.
  • Buyers are not interested in "Short Sales".

 Fact is, the bank does not want your home back.  It costs more for them to foreclose than to complete a "Short Sale".

Another Short Sale Sold - Park Estates - Willard Mo Real Estate

200 Sparrow, Willard, Mo

Another Short Sale Sold - Park Estate - Willard Mo Real Estate

As the year winds down, banks are also taking a final look at their inventory and making decisions to accept short sales or take them into foreclosure.

Park Estates was a subdivision of short sales and foreclosures this past year.  Today, over half of the homes are now sold, with new life coming back to them.  Homeowners are taking more pride in the area and the entire subdivision is beginning to change.

After six months, and many offers later, we closed this wonderful home in Willard.  The home was hardly lived in.  Due to vandalism, the front door was nailed shut and has to be rebuilt, several interior doors were broken, and with no utilities, the home started showing signs of wear.

The new homeowners purchased the home "AS IS", completed a home inspection and decided the work to bring the home back was minimal compared to the great buy they were getting....over 2300 Square Feet, 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, 2 years old and 3 car garage........CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
