Short Sales in Florida

Short Sales in Florida

 Short Sales in Florida are starting to move. When Short sales first started coming on the market in Florida it was new to most of us, Realtors, Buyers, Sellers and Lenders. That is not to say that short sales did not exist before a few years ago, they were just a very small part of the market and it was not even on the radar for most of us.

 In the beginning everyone resisted. Buyers were nervous about making an offer on a home and entering a process that was not proven and they did not understand. Seller's were nervous and Lenders just did not believe. If they did not approve taking a loss on the loan, then they believed the seller would just choose to pay the debt.

    Bonita Springs, Fl Foreclosure

    Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 at 3:22pm. 146 Views, 0 Comments.

    A couple of weeks ago I posted a "deal" that I found on a Bonita Springs Foreclosure.

    Well, countless hours and showings later I had a few clients that were interested in making an offer via the online bidding system that the bank and listing agent utilized. There were several bids on the property topping the $130K range.

     It appears that none of the offers were accepted and the home is back on the market for the original price of $214,900.00. Unfortunately for the bank, it is still in the Fort Myers MLS and not the Bonita Springs MLS where the house is actually located.

     After viewing the home with several different clients I still think it will make a good deal for someone if they can get if for the right price.  It will need a minimum of $20K to…
