Short Sale Listings

Short sale listings are on the rise as foreclosure listings are being snatched up as fast as they are listed, and potential foreclosures are held up in the legal system.   Short sales can be frustrating for some buyers if the listing has never received an offer.  The listing agent does the best he/she can to help the homeowner set a fair price for the home.  With that accomplished you still wont know what the investor’s response will be till its been tested with an offer.  Once the bank comes back with the lender’s response you have an approved price, or better yet, a contract if the offer was accepted!

Bank Approved Short Sales

Bank approved short sales are much like foreclosures except the owner is not the bank.   Since the initial waiting period for the bank’s response is over you don’t have to guess at what they will accept and you can make a competitive offer based on the bank’s approved price.

Closed Sales data from Sunshine MLS through the Naples Area Board of Realtors

The following data of 671 closed sales for the time period shows some interesting data.  With a few buyers still coming to Naples with the idea that they can get a ‘steal’ for 50¢ on the dollar, the facts reveal otherwise.   It is also very noteworthy that many of the very lowest priced properties sold for more than asking price!  The number of foreclosure listings are shrinking, although short sales are on the increase.
