What Is a Short Sale HUD-1?

What Is a Short Sale HUD-1?


A short sale can be frustrating for a seller who has no experience with Naperville short sales.

One of the unfamiliar terms a first-time short sale seller might encounter is the HUD-1.

What is a Short Sale HUD-1


What is a Short Sale HUD-1?

It is a document listing all the debits and credits in a real estate transaction. It is created for the benefit of the buyer and the buyer’s lender. However, that does not stop the short sale seller’s lender from asking for the HUD-1 during the approval process.

What do Banks Look at on a Short Sale HUD-1?

Banks focus on the sales price on an HUD-1. If the bank’s declared price is greater than that on the HUD-1, the seller needs to ask for a new purchasing price from the buyer. Other fees to be reviewed by the bank are the title, transfer, escrow, notary, documentary stamps, and delinquent property taxes.

Fortunately, not every lender requires HUD approval. Many junior lien holders do not approve HUDs because they are only concerned about the amount they will receive from the short sale.

The estimated HUD-1 Settlement Statement is a complete account of all the fees and prices involved in the short sale. This settlement form specifies how much money each party gets upon final transaction.

Do Banks Reject Fees on the Short Sale HUD-1?

Banks usually refuse to pay for items like repairs, home warranties, and pest clean up costs. Banks also refuse to pay HOA or UCC fees. Either the buyer of short sale seller needs to negotiate for the payment of the balance of these fees.

What is the Most Common Problem Associated with a HUD-1?

The biggest problem with a HUD-1 is failure to agree on which party pays for certain fees. This may cause confusion and tension between the parties when closing time comes and the sellers or buyers are required to pay for unforeseen fees.

To avoid confusion with the HUD-1, it is highly recommended that the HUD-1 be looked over by an professional Naperville short sale agent so any questions or concerns may be answered.
