In a financial bind, some people sell their house to get out of debt. Whether
your own a second home, plan to sell your house and rent instead, or are
considering downsizing, making the decision to sell your house to pay off
debts may not be easy. But, neither is struggling with high interest rates and
steadily increasing debts.
When Can Selling a House to Pay Off Debts
be a Smart Decision?
In some cases, selling a house to get out of debt can be the best decision for
your situation. For instance, if:
- You can’t afford your mortgage payments and refinancing is not an
option. You may be behind on payments and facing foreclosure, or the
payments are so high that you would save money each month by
renting. - You need to pay off debts and could easily downsize. Buying a smaller,
more affordable home makes more sense for your current situation. - You own or inherited a second home. You’re deeply in debt and need
immediate relief. You don’t want to deal with tenants, so selling the
second home is an easy, smart decision. - You are behind on property taxes and HOA fees, or they are simply too
high. With your debts continuing to grow, you’re unable to get ahead.
You could lose your property. - You’re living paycheck to paycheck and your income is less than what
you owe each month. Paying off debts with high interest rates would
increase your cash flow, enabling you to save money while renting. Once
your finances improve, you could consider buying another home. - You’re in a financial bind and have no other alternative. You need to sell
the house fast, pay off some debts, and improve your financial situation.
I’m Behind on Payments. Can I Sell My
House to Avoid Foreclosure?
Yes, you can. Your time to sell is limited, but you do have options. If your
home hasn’t reached foreclosure yet, you can try selling it for enough cash
pay off what is owed, including late fees and other penalties in addition to
what you still owe the lender.
