What if I owe more than my house is worth?

What if I owe more than my house is worth?


When a homeowner is behind on their payments and they owe more than their property is worth a short sale has become the most popular way to sell the property. A short sale is considered the most valuable alternative to foreclosure for homeowners in danger of losing their homes. Homeowners do not have a foreclosure appear on their credit report, are not subject to a public auction, avoid eviction, move substantially on their own terms and walkaway owing nothing. There are other benefits too. If a homeowner is not behind on their payments, they are less likely to be eligible for a short sale.
