Which situation does NOT typically lead to a short sale?

A situation where the property's value exceeds the loan balance is not typically associated with a short sale because short sales occur specifically when a property is worth less than what is owed on the mortgage. In short sales, the homeowner is often in financial distress, leading them to sell the home for less than the outstanding loan amount. The lender must also agree to this arrangement, accepting a loss on the mortgage balance in order to facilitate the sale. Therefore, when a property's value exceeds its loan balance, it suggests the homeowner has equity in the property, making a short sale unnecessary. This situation indicates that the seller could possibly sell the home for a higher price, pay off the mortgage, and avoid the complications of a short sale altogether.
