[quote=sdrealtor]A couple explanations. Some decided not to do them after all. Often in a short sale, the lender is looking for the selelr to make a contribution to mitigate the loss if they are able to come up with something. Some sellers refuse and some do so upfront/wilingly.[/quote]
Thanks, sdr. As I said – I have some ignorance on this since I’ve never been involved in a short sale. I didn’t realize that sellers had to kick in more than any lost equity (downpayment and subsequent payments.)
