Short sales have become very popular with both buyers and sellers lately.  Short sales are the best strategy for all involved.  Why is this the best strategy?  Banks would prefer to do a short sale.  It saves them money.  You (the buyer) would prefer a short sale because you will not be competing with other buyers at time of purchase.  Sellers would prefer a short sale because they have more control over the timeline and the sale in general.  Sellers also will save their credit.  A short sale only stays on your credit for 2 years. Home buyers check out the Home Buyers University to learn everything you should know.
