Lenders push houses to foreclosure by demanding short sale offers to be 10% to 30% higher than market value. It’s a mystery.

We can send them comparable sales showing market value. We can show the banks the long days on market and all the comparable listings that never sold. Somehow the lender overrides reality. Foreclosures Cause Values To Spiral Down. Short Sales Reduce The Lender's Losses. The lender dooms the house to foreclosure rather than accepting a logical short sale. That causes more blight in the neighborhood, which brings values further down, which causes more future foreclosures. Many articles and studies have been ... 10/09/2010
