        "text": "Selling your home before foreclosure generally has a less severe impact on your credit score than a completed foreclosure. A traditional sale will typically have no negative credit impact if your mortgage is paid off. A short sale might show as 'settled for less than full balance' or similar, which is better than a foreclosure but can still affect your credit. Understanding these practical tradeoffs is important.",
