Short Sales vs Foreclosures: the Neighborhood | The OC Real ...

This week, we are looking at the advantages of a short sale over a foreclosure from five different perspectives: Sellers?, Neighborhoods?, Banks?, Prices and the Children. ? The KCM Crew

A foreclosure, in most cases, leaves the block with a vacant home. A short sale does not. A vacant house in a neighborhood creates several challenges:

  1. It doesn?t contribute to the tax base of the region.
  2. It can be an eyesore and bring down the image of the area.
  3. It can be a breeding ground for insects (example: mosquitoes, ticks, etc.).
  4. It can be an incubator for crime if occupied by vagrants or transients.
  5. It can create safety issues for children (example: unguarded pool).

If a short sale is the result rather than a foreclosure, it is much better for the neighborhood .

Tomorrow, we will look at the impact of a short sale compared to a foreclosure on the banks.
