More and more homeowners in Carolinas are choosing the short sale option, which is by far a better alternative to a foreclosure and a lot more forgiving on your credit history. This trend is not unique to the Carolinas. According to RealtyTrac, there were nearly three times as many short sales as there were sales of foreclosed homes in 2012.
Another reason why short sale is a better alternative to many, is that homeowners now qualify for a $ 3,000 relocation assistance from the government. This money can make a tremendous difference in someone's life.
