A short sale in Utah occurs when a homeowner sells a property for less than what is owed. If a Utah homeowner can no longer afford to make payments and is underwater on the property, the lender may agree to allow a short sale. There are several reasons short sales are preferable to foreclosure including:
Benefits of a Short Sale Over Foreclosure :
- Bank incentives and financial credits to assist with relocation.
- Avoid foreclosure reported on credit report.
- Avoid deficiency balances owed to lender.
- Provides additional time to live the home while the process completes.
All real estate commissions and title fees are paid by the lender.
