A real estate "short sale" is greatly in the lender's interest, but with loan ownership being syndicated and fragmented a law requiring an opportunity for a short sale was essential. I'm sure you appreciated this as much as I do. Finally real estate market debt can be liquidated.

The only carrots provided by the program is a standardized short sale contract, a tiny incentive of $1k for the loan servicer, and $1.5k "moving expenses" for the home owner.

But the stick provided by the program is a requirement that lenders must give up to 90 days for the home owner to effect a short sale in lieu of foreclosure.

There's a lot of homes that need to be sold off at market value, far less than the amount of the mortgage.
