A Short Sale is when there is more debt owed on the 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.
