What Percentage Of Sales Price for a Short Sale ?
What Percentage OFF Sales Price for a Short Sale ?
I've been asked many times about this. The short answer is : Depends
Here are 3 things that will determine this question:
#1 Are there any similar comparables. If two houses are alike and one SOLD for $100,000 and the other one is a short sale. The percentage of the sales price from this comparable should be less that the amount it will cost the bank to foreclose the property. If the cost to foreclose a property from XYZ Bank is $20,000. .then an offer of $81,000 will make sense to the bank. An offer below $80,000 will not make sense to be accepted by the bank.
#2 Of course there are many conditions to be in line before a short sale can be accepted. The number 2 reason to validate a percentage of the sales price during a short sale is by knowing if there are two or only one bank holding the note. From the last similar comparables you can deduct that bank #1 holds 80% of the mortgage. .and bank #2 gets the "short" end of the stick
If bank #1 can get their 80%. . bank #2 will try to get whatever they can get. . .after they realize that the property value doesn't give them a chance to get anything. When bank #2 is the same bank. . they maybe willing to write it off.
#3 The percentage off the sales price when it is a short sale will also be determined by BPO.
The Buyer Broker Opinion plays a huge role in determining what percentage off you will be paying when buying a short sale. Proving to the bank that the property needs major work could get you an offer accepted 30 to 40% below the last comparables.
As a listing agent for close to 20 active short sales, I ask my dear Realtor friends that I don't care how low your offer can be. ..I will submit it to the bank. . .as long as you can send me a comparable that supports your offer amount.
