Want to buy a short sale?
A short sale means the seller's lender has agreed to receive a reduced payoff to release a mortgage.

Are they good deals?
Occasionally. Many people hear the words "short sale" and instinctively think of a seller that is in financial trouble and needs to sell their home fast to avoid further financial problems. This is sometimes the case and can be an opportunity for a buyer to make the most of another's misfortune. In contrast, a lender may consider a short sale even if the seller is current, but property values have declined. In these cases the discounted price may in fact be in line with actual market values, not below.
