• A short sale takes anywhere from 45 days to several months. There are several factors that determine the length of a short sale. For example, the buyer of the short sale drops out or the seller files for bankruptcy before the short sale is complete. Or a common occurence is the lender sends the property to auction before the short sale is complete due to an insufficient offer or mishandling or misunderstanding of the short sale process.
