What is a Short Sale?

by Dave on June 1, 2009

When you owe more on your home than it’s worth you may want to do a short sale. In a short sale the bank forgives some of what you owe them. It’s more cost-effective for a bank to do a short sale than foreclose on a home.

I wish they would have used a better term than “short sale”. In the finance world “short” means that you sell something you don’t own, then buy it back (hopefully at a lower price) when you have to give it back. We short stocks all the time.
