After taking a backseat to foreclosure sales for the past two years, short sales have suddenly become the most popular approach for selling distressed properties. In fact, the latest Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance Monthly Survey of Real Estate Market Conditions reveals that short sales now account for more than 17 percent of home purchase transactions.
Short sales are on everyone’s radar screen. In an effort to boost short sale activity, the government has launched the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program and a streamlined approach for handling short sales as a “Plan B” for its Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). And lenders are scrambling to incorporate HAFA into their foreclosure avoidance product lineup for 2010.
Will short sales volume continue to grow in 2010? Will HAFA with its incentive payments for borrowers, servicers and even second lien holders become the preferred way to handle short sales?
This event featured an expert panel that knows and understands short sales.
