San Diego short sales foreclosuresMany San Diego homeowners mistakenly believe that their credit rating will be better off with a short sale vs. a foreclosure. This belief may be seriously flawed.

Short sales, deeds in lieu of foreclosure and foreclosure usually don't minimize the impact on a borrower's credit score. All three proceedings have roughly the same negative impact on an individual's credit score, according to Craig Watts, a spokesman for Fair Isaac Corp., which created the widely used FICO score.

Mr. Watts says that to date little analysis has been done distinguishing, for instance, the credit risk of individuals who completed a short sale versus those involved in a foreclosure. For that reason, "the model ends up treating them [a short sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and a foreclosure] all the same."     San Diego income property

  1. When I saw how the housing prices were going up, up,up and most peoples’ salaries didn’t pay enough to afford them, I knew the market was going to crash three or four years ago. Some real estate dealers and owners were just so incredibly greedy. They ask for a sales price or rent not based on how much they really need to charge to recover their expenses and make a reasonable profit, but on getting the maximum money for themselves, without regard for the effect on society.

  2. To those who think only low income people are losing their homes. WRONG….middle-class folks are losing their homes MORE than low income folks are. I think it makes some people feel good to try to put a rationale on this, that it has to be people with low income, than to accept the fact that it is middle income folks more so.
