What best describes the property's value compared with what may be owed?

What the Full Review Looks At

Short sales are about the entire financial picture.

The lender is being asked to accept less than the full payoff. That means value, debt, hardship, title, liens, buyer terms, foreclosure timing, and supporting documents can all matter.

🏠

Property Value

Estimated market value, condition, repairs, property type, occupancy, and marketability.

💳

Mortgage Debt

First mortgage, second mortgage, HELOCs, arrears, and lender payoff requirements.

📄

Liens & Title

Property taxes, judgments, HOA balances, municipal charges, and other liens may affect closing.

📉

Financial Hardship

Income loss, unaffordable payments, relocation, medical hardship, divorce, or other financial changes.

Foreclosure Timing

Default status, court activity, judgment, auction date, and time available to close.

🤝

Lender Approval

The lender reviews the sale terms, property value, buyer, hardship, closing statement, and requested payoff reduction.

Save It or Sell It provides general real estate education. This preview is not a lender approval, appraisal, legal opinion, tax opinion, title report, or guarantee of closing. Short-sale approval depends on the actual loan, investor, insurer, lienholders, property value, hardship documentation, purchase contract, title, and lender review.
