Sarasota Short Sale Condos In Sarasota, Fl.

Short sales aren’t “fairly popular” right now. Home equity is high across Sarasota, so most sellers who fall behind refinance, sell traditionally, or get bought out before a short sale becomes necessary. Short sales spiked after 2008; today they’re rare. Don’t market this as common inventory or you’ll set false expectations.

Sarasota short sale condos come up when a seller owes more than the unit will sell for and the lender agrees to accept less than the payoff to avoid foreclosure costs. The process requires lender approval on the price, so closings take longer than a standard sale, often 60 to 120 days. Buyers get properties priced below market, but expect an as-is condition and a bank timeline you don’t control.

Sarasota Short Sale Foreclosure Frequently Asked Questions

Sarasota Short Sale Real Estate


What is a Short Sale?

In a short sale, the lender agrees to settle the debt owed on the property for less than the full amount. “Settled” means that the lender is writing off the debt (which is why you get a 1099 after a short sale for the amount of debt forgiven) and that they are not going to go after you for the money they lost by filing a deficiency judgment in the future.

How long does it take to purchase a Sarasota short sale home?

The process of settling a home going through a short sale can be very lengthy, averaging 2-6 months.

Does the lender have to accept a full list price offer received by Seller?

No! The Seller set the list price, however the lender decides if they are willing to accept that list price. It is possible that the lender will counter back on a full price offer above the list price.

Will the lender forgive the mortgage excess debt owed by the seller?

Not necessarily. It is entirely possible that the lender will require the seller to sign a promissory note at closing indicating that the seller must repay any outstanding amount due over a set period of time.
