Summary
A short sale occurs when a property is sold for less than the outstanding mortgage balance, initiated and sold by the borrower, while a foreclosure is a process where the lender takes possession of the home due to missed payments, initiated and sold by the lender. In a short sale, the borrower actively participates in selling the property at a reduced price to avoid foreclosure. Foreclosure, on the other hand, is the lender's action to reclaim the property when mortgage payments are not made.

Hi,

Short sales and foreclosures are related yet vary in importance. The basic point of difference between the 2 are as follows;

Parameters Short Sale Foreclosure

Meaning

The term "short sale" refers to any real estate transaction in which the property is sold for less than the amount owed on the mortgage.

Foreclosure is a process where the bank keeps possession of the home after the borrower misses payments.
