short sale foreclosure

Difference between short sale and foreclosure on my house?
We owe more money than what our house is worth. My realitor is suggesting a short sale or a foreclosure, what is the difference? Which will hurt my credit less?
Your Realtor did not explain this to you? They both will hurt your credit, so that should not be a factor.
A short sale means the bank will allow you to sell the house at a loss and they may take the hit. If it forecloses they will evict you and take the house back to auction it off.
Either way is not good.
Good luck,
