I know the difference between a short sale and a foreclosure, but from the lender perspective, are they willing to negotiate more on one vs the other? Since the lender is already taking a hit on the short sale, would they be willing to negotiate even lower on the price? Just how much do they want to avoid the foreclosure process? Since it's obvious property values will fall more into early next year, I'm wondering if lenders are willing to take huge cuts just to avoid the foreclosure process and have further markdowns from lower market prices.
