Treasury hopes new rules send short sales to the rescue of underwater mortgages

In a short sale, a homeowner sells the property for its current market value, which is less than what’s owed on the mortgage, and the lender agrees to accept the lower amount. The new rules that offer participating lenders cash incentives to get them to approve more short-sale deals also allow them only 10 days to approve or reject short-sale purchase offers, said Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly.
