How long does a Short Sale take?  Tough question.  There have been efforts to streamline the Short Sale process.  Unfortunately, it remains very unpredictable.  A Short Sale can take a few weeks to several months.  The challenge is getting it completed before a foreclosure happens and keeping Buyers interested in the property during the waiting process.

If it appears you are facing a Short Sale or potential foreclosure be sure to reach out to a knowledgeable party before making any decisions.

There are still things to be done, but I think the site is extremely helpful as it is today.  Enjoy.
