A short sale price (99% of the time) is a "false" price.  Meaning that the seller/Realtor is just trying to get an offer they can take to the bank.  The bank still has to approve the offer.  So let's say...in the above example, you make an offer of 70,000...the bank responds (after about 8 weeks) with a counter offer of 135,000.  You say, "wait a minute, I thought you were asking 80,000 for the home???  Now, you want 135,000?"

What you've done is given the seller a base price of 135,000 they know the bank will accept.  Now the seller can list the home for 135,000.  Don't get me wrong, 135,000 for a home that should be 250,000 is a great deal...but it's not the 80,000 deal you thought you were going to get.  Does that make sense?

Don't be afraid of Short sales...just be careful.  Ask if the listing price has been accepted by the bank yet.  If it hasn't, expect a "higher than asking price counter" if you make an offer.

Sellers:  You have to do what it takes to get your home sold in this market in order to take advantage of the buyer's market.  If you wait to reduce your price and sell your home, you are also waiting for the new home to go up in price...

On the Buying end...it's simple.  WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???  This is it, we are in a depressed market...go FIND the deal, it's out there.  But, you need to be ready to act on that great deal.  I've dealt with many buyers who are waiting, waiting, waiting for the perfect deal to come along...when I present the deal to them, they don't act on it or they think a better deal is around the corner.  When they decide to act on the deal they find out it has been sold already to someone that isn't afraid to act.  I see GREAT deals everyday, everywhere, but they are beginning to fade...
