frankly, short sales are only going to be showing up on credit reports recently; so i've not much experience in seeing that. nevertheless, let me give you my estimate of how to view it (at least how i will view it).
certainly, the report of "past due 120 days" is not favorable. you'll have explaining to do with any lender who takes a look at you in the future. whatever took place to cause this, you'll want to be sure you have good, solid explanations and documentation to back them up. as for the equifax report, that's a whole lot more favorable. you won't have to explain that rating, i guess. did trans union not show the loan?
i think your solid explanation, combined with the fact that you were able to sell the home and not have to suffer foreclosure or collection action, will serve you well. of course, the underlying credit score is going to be the most important part of your credit profile when you next aim for a purchase. _________________ George M.
