Step-by-step explanation:

Real estate is defined as a piece of land and any attached property that is constructed on it.

In real estate business a real estate short sale occurs when the person that owns a property decides to sell the property at a price that is less than the amount on the mortgage.

This usually occurs as a result of financial distress of the owner.

In the given scenario the property has a mortgage value of $150,000 and down payment of $30,000 has been made.

The mortgage amount is now $150,000 - $30,000 = $120,000
