Can You Sell a House in Georgia With Negative Equity?

Understanding Low or No Equity in Your Georgia Home
Equity represents the difference between your home’s market value and the outstanding mortgage balance. When you owe as much or more than your home’s worth, you’re dealing with little or no equity. This situation can arise due to market fluctuations, recent refinancing, or minimal down payments.
Challenges of Selling with Minimal Equity

Selling a home with little or no equity presents unique hurdles:
- Limited Profit: Traditional sales may not yield enough to cover mortgage balances and closing costs.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Sellers might need to pay the difference between sale proceeds and mortgage payoff.
- Market Competition: Competing with homes that have more equity can be challenging.
