The short answer is "sometimes". Many people hear the term "short sale" and instinctively think of a seller that is in default and must sell their property fast to avoid further financial problems. This is occasionally the case and can be an opportunity for a buyer to make the most of another's misfortune. Alternatively, a lender may consider a short sale even if the seller is current with their mortgage, but property values have declined. In these instances the discounted price may in fact be closer to current market values, not below.
