Bank of America seems to be favoring short sales over foreclosures, at least according to new housing data released this week. The banking giant completed more short sale transactions than foreclosure sales every month for the last year and a half, HousingWire reports. Bank of America completed more than 95,000 short sales in 2010?more than double compared to the year prior.
BofA as well as other banks say the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program, introduced in April 2010, has helped make it easier to collect documents and reduce the time it takes to close on a short sale transaction. For example, Citigroup says it has dropped its average closing time from 120 days (from when the property was listed to when it closes) to 83 day currently.
?It?s a lot easier to qualify now for HAFA than it was in 2010. All I need is a hardship affidavit and one water bill. We?re trying to make it as easy as possible,? David Sunlin, Bank of America?s real estate management executive, told HousingWire.
