Stephen Bennetts answered:
On Short Sales, the banks are generally looking to net 82% or higher of current market value. That means that on a home that has a current value of $300,000.00, they will expect an offer of over $270,000.00 because they will expect a net of about $246,000.00 and you need to subtract the closing costs and other that they have to cover. The best way to pay less is if the house needs work. Then you take pictures, get a contractor estimate, etc. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 14:23

It depends on the bank. Most of them that I have worked with have accepted 3%. With the rise of the FHA loans, they are considering further closing help if they net the certain amount that they are looking for. In conclusion, banks look at what they will net at the end of the day. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 14:06

Have you checked on FHA loans? You should be able to buy a condo right now. There are some in Rockville under 200,000.00 and in decent shape. Please call or email me with any further questions. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 13:54
