		<description><![CDATA[In a real estate market in which just under 1 out of 2 homes which are actually SOLD are Short Sales or Foreclosures, more home sellers in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area are inquiring about if a Short Sale may be a viable path to consider.

It is no secret that there has been a precipitous slide in home prices over the past year.  This coupled with the sub-prime mortgage mess has placed some home owners into a situation in which the Value of their home is LESS than what they currently owe  on their mortgage payment.  In some cases...way less.  As a result, some home owners are bringing thousands of dollars to the closing table to make up the difference owed to the bank.
