Newport Beach Short Sale Market Update | February, 2012

by Sharon Paxson on March 28, 2012 · 0 comments

The Newport Beach real estate market has both foreclosures, and short sales for sale . The definition of a short sale is when a bank or lien holder lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff on a loan balance as a result of  either economic or a financial hardship on the part of the mortgagor.

The bank also wants fair market value for the property and will go great lengths in order to obtain the appropriate value of the home. A bank or lender may request more than one BPO (broker price opinion) and obtain independent appraisals.

Currently there are 38 active listings in Newport Beach, 43 in back up status, 15 in pending status, and there were 5 sales in the month of February, 2012.
