Central Florida – May 2023 – The real estate market can be unpredictable, and homeowners may find themselves in a distressed situation where they need to sell their property quickly. In 2023, the distressed property market is expected to continue its current trend, with rising interest rates and lower home prices making it harder for some homeowners to keep up with their mortgage payments.
As a Certified Distressed Property Expert in Central Florida, I’m trained in helping homeowners understand their options regarding distressed properties and strategies to help them.
First, it’s important to understand what makes a property distressed. Generally, a distressed property is one where the owner is in financial distress and unable to keep up with their mortgage payments. This can lead to foreclosure, which can have a significant negative impact on the homeowner’s credit score. Other factors that can make a property distressed include damage from natural disasters or other catastrophic events, environmental issues, or legal problems such as liens or disputes over ownership.
One of the most effective strategies for selling a distressed property is to work with a real estate agent specializing in these types of sales. A distressed property specialist can help you navigate the complexities of the market and develop a strategy for selling your property quickly and at a fair price. They can also help you identify issues affecting the property’s value, such as environmental or legal problems, and work with you to resolve them.
A common strategy may include working with cash buyers who can close quickly. In many cases, the cash buyer is also looking for a discount. You may need to consider this depending on your current situation.
Additional strategies include mortgage modifications, forbearance, short sale, and the traditional method of selling on the open market.
Finally, it’s essential to consider the potential tax implications of selling a distressed property. Depending on the circumstances of your sale, you may be subject to capital gains taxes or other taxes. It’s essential to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor to understand your options and make an informed decision.
