How Do I Sell My Las Vegas Home If I’m Behind on Payments? — Deidre Wilson, Las Vegas & Henderson, NV Realtor®

How do you sell your Las Vegas home if you’re behind on payments?
You still have options. Depending on your situation, you may be able to sell before foreclosure, negotiate with your lender, or pursue a short sale. Deidre Wilson helps Las Vegas homeowners explore every path to avoid losing equity.

Step 1: Understand Your Situation

• Missing mortgage payments can trigger late fees and lender notices.

• After 90 days, lenders may begin foreclosure proceedings.

• The sooner you act, the more options you have.

Step 2: Determine Your Equity

• Equity = Home value – Mortgage balance – Selling costs.

• With Las Vegas median prices around $465,000 in 2025 (Source: LVR), many owners still have equity even if they’re behind.

Step 3: Selling With Equity

• If your home’s value exceeds what you owe, you can sell traditionally.

• Sale proceeds pay off the loan, late fees, and costs.

• Remaining equity goes to you.

Step 4: Short Sale (If You Owe More Than Value)

• Requires lender approval.

• Lender agrees to accept less than the balance owed.

• Protects your credit more than foreclosure.

Step 5: Communicate With Your Lender

• Lenders may offer repayment plans or loan modifications.

• Selling voluntarily is often better than foreclosure for both parties.
