Short sale guide
How long does a short sale take?
Most short sales take several weeks to a few months. The timeline depends on the lender, the strength of your file, and the buyer.
What drives the timeline
- How quickly your hardship package is assembled
- The lender's internal processing speed
- Whether there is one mortgage or two
- Whether the buyer holds firm during the lender review
- Whether the file is sitting with a single negotiator or moving between teams
