“My understanding was that a short sale was a sale where the seller owed more than he was asking. Does that mean these houses were HELOC’ed?”
Yep…
Short sale has nothing to do with the previous selling price. It has to do with your obligation to the lender. So yes it was refinanced in some manner. Which is most likely exactly what happened with the Poblado example.

Case in point:
Buy house for 500K with 100% financing
House now worth 450KHouse would now be a Short Sale w/o HELOC or Refi

August 9, 2007 at 3:15 PM #72556WaitingToExhaleParticipantRight, but in this case the asking price is much higher than the purchase price from 2001.
