But a short-sale still negatively affects one's score...

I think that there was room for appreciation prior to the boom. I think that the type of jobs make a difference too. There are not very many large private employers in Bellingham and they few that we do have are very stable. The largest employers in Bellingham are publicly funded. There are also a lot of small businesses and retired folks in Bellingham. Richard ~ I think that there are several factors and you just suggested a couple of them.

The seller's real estate agent or attorney negotiate with the bank to see if they will write off a loss. If the property is worth less than the bank is owed the bank isn't going to be excited about taking the property back. The bank still faces the same selling costs as a typical homeowner, so it can be to their advantage to just accept less. It really just depends on the situation. @Jodith ~ Not necessarily.

Is the new owner then responsible for what is still owed on the house in order to remove any encumbrances? What’s the result of a short sale?
