Short Sales listings across 560+ California cities. Free local market data + licensed agent specialists.
Short sales — where the lender approves a sale below the loan balance — typically take 60–120 days to close in California versus 30–45 for traditional sales. Buyers benefit from below-market pricing (often 10–25% off ARV) but absorb the timeline risk. The seller's lender, not the seller, ultimately approves price and terms. Working with an agent who specializes in short sales and has direct lender relationships dramatically improves close rates.
