In this regard, what does quick sale on a house mean?
Known as a "quick sale," it's the sale of a property that's in its defaulted mortgage's preforeclosure period. Peforeclosure is the time between mortgage default and foreclosure sale and is really a lender's grace period for borrowers. Speedy sales of homes in preforeclosure are called "quick sales."
In this regard, how long does a quick sale take?
From that point to the time of short sale approval, the average timeline is about 60 to 90 days. It means 30 days to sell + 60 days for approval + 30 days to close escrow = 4 months, on average.
A short sale results when sellers don't receive enough cash from buyers to pay off their mortgages. This might sound like a good deal for the buyer, but these homes usually sell "as is" and can take longer than usual to close.
