Should I do a short sale or foreclosure in Springfield? A mortgage short sale occurs when a financially distressed borrower arranges a sale for less than the outstanding mortgage balance. The lender accepts the proceeds of the house sale which is short of the full repayment of the mortgage. The borrower, then, receives a release from the mortgage obligation. The lender does this to avoid what would amount to larger losses if it were to foreclose on the mortgage.
