Investing in short sales is quite different from a traditional home purchase transaction. When a home owner is owes more money to a lender than the property is worth, the owner can still sell the property. Because foreclosure is a very expensive process for banks, they often allow for a short sale rather than going through the foreclosure process. When a house is in short sale status, the bank forgives a portion of the borrowers debt and allows the home to be sold for what it is actually worth.

Due to the bank's involvement in the whole process and because the bank will take things at its own pace (often waiting until they have recieved several offers on the home before acting), the transaction will usually be extended for longer periods of time. Because the offer must be accepted by both the owner and the bank, an offer accepted by the home owner does still does not guaruntee a sell.

While the short sale process is a little bit more complex, short sale property is still a great way for potential home buyers or investors to purchase property at discount prices. There are currently several short sale homes listed in Layton Utah.
