Due to falling home prices many homeowners find it difficult, if not impossible, to get a high enough prices to pay off their loan when they run into financial trouble, such as a reduction in income or loss of a job. 

Lenders now say they will take part in the Governments promotion to streamline and make short sales easier for delinquent borrowers.  Some lenders, like Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank said they will make it easier for borrowers to avoid the foreclosure process by selling their homes for less than they owe on them. 

For the homeowner there are some advantages with a short sale over foreclosure, less damage to one’s credit and avoidance of the stigma of foreclosure.  For the lender it is less costly than having to repossess a property and then proceed with marketing and maintaining an empty house.  There is also the advantage of keeping a house occupied helps keep the neighborhoods value up.
