What is the difference between a short sale and foreclosure?
In a short sale, you sell your home and the lender agrees to accept less than you owe. In a foreclosure, the lender seizes the property. Short sales impact your credit less severely and let you stay in your home longer while it sells. Foreclosures damage credit for 7+ years and you lose the home to the bank.
- Short sale: You control the process, lender approves the sale price, credit impact is moderate.
- Foreclosure: Bank controls the timeline, you lose the property, credit damage is severe.
- Short sale timeline: 3–6 months. Foreclosure timeline: 6–12 months or longer.
A short sale gives you a pathway to recovery. A foreclosure leaves lasting damage.
