“Karen Farley hadn’t made a mortgage payment in a year when she got what looked like a form letter from her lender.
‘You could sell your home, owe nothing more on your mortgage and get $30,000,’ JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) said in the Aug. 17 letter obtained by Bloomberg News.”
That’s what they’re writing about home lender JP Morgan at Bloomberg News. This particular short sale was for $200,000 less than what was owed, but taking that loss was still cheaper than foreclosing. According to the article, they are offering up to $35,000 in some cases, and other banks may follow. Lenders are getting more realistic about short sales.
