A short sale is a common real estate transaction in which an individual sells their home at a price lower than the amount due on their mortgage. They will pocket less money than is owed and hand over the proceeds to the lender.
This usually happens when local home prices drop or a seller is in financial distress and needs to avoid foreclosure. Purchasing a short sale could mean getting a great price on a house.

A fixed-rate mortgage is one of the most common types of home loans you will encounter.
Your monthly rate will stay the same during the entire loan duration, helping you avoid sudden increases in your payment. The stability of this style of loan allows you to stick to a monthly budget.
However, if interest rates fall, you will need to refinance your mortgage to take advantage of the lower rates.

While the home-selling process can certainly bring about stress, there are plenty of ways to mitigate it. Here are three common stressors and how to avoid them:
1οΈβ£ Pricing your home correctly:
Work with a real estate agent, whose knowledge of the market can help you set the right price. Also consider a pre-listing appraisal for extra confidence.
2οΈβ£ Emotional attachment to your home:
Try to treat the sale as a business decision, and depersonalize your spaces to help with detachment.
3οΈβ£ Market uncertainty:
Keep in touch with your agent to stay informed on market trends, interest rates, and timelines so you can adjust when needed.
