Short sales are becoming popular even in the mid to high end properties. Although the owner must show hardship, many people in the middle income brackests are running into trouble too.

The stigma is the major issue for many in the mid-income brackets. But selling the house short is a far better alternative to foreclosure where they come and post notices on the property.

Since the seller is not allowed to get any funds from the sale, the selling price can be set right at market value almost making the sale a certainty.

Anyway, if you know someone in a little trouble, tell them to talk to their Realtor and if you happen to be in San Diego County, just call me!
