We recently closed on a short sale transaction for our client where the seller was behind on their mortgage payments and in a tough situation. A short sale is where the lender allows a financially distressed homeowner sell the property for less than the mortgage balance owed avoiding a foreclosure. This allowed the seller to avoid the massive credit hit and financial distress of a foreclosure while also providing a great deal for our client in the process. It was win-win for everyone!

Our client just had the seller pay $10,000 to buydown their interest rate 2% so they went from a 6% rate to 4%. This is happening with most of our clients currently as sellers are willing to pay down the buyers rate with higher inventory and longer days on market.

Prices have been falling for seven straight months, but the decline was a bit smaller in January likely due to a brief drop in mortgage rates.
