How does a Short Sale Impact Credit Scores?

Short sales are seen as settlements.  Short sales are a mortgage being reduced down to a lower dollar amount by the lender, who will take a loss on the uncollected balance,  in exchange for a one time lump sum payment.  This is the same as a settled collection or charge off so it reflects as such on the credit.  This negative can reduce scores 5-100+ points depending on the score prior to the event.
