Sarasota Short Sale Single homes In Sarasota, Fl.
Sarasota short sale homes for sale come up occasionally, when a seller owes more than the home will fetch and the lender agrees to accept less than the payoff to avoid a costly foreclosure. Approval on price comes from the lender, not just the seller, so closings run longer than a standard sale, often 60 to 120 days.
When they do surface, short sales can offer below-market pricing, but expect an as-is purchase and a timeline you don’t control. Patience matters more than speed with this category.

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