Bank of America offering up to $30,000 – Redding Ca.-Short Sale
As part of its efforts to reduce the number of foreclosures in its pipeline, Bank of America announced that they will soon be offering relocation “cash” of up to $30,000 to delinquent and distressed home owners to help them to agree to a short sale instead of a foreclosure.
For months, major banks in the U.S. such as Chase and Wells Fargo have finally become more willing to embrace short sales as a cheaper, smarter and faster alternative to traditional foreclosure.
What is a B of A Short Sale?
This type of real estate transaction allow the banks to reclaim possession of the home and real estate far more quickly and cheaper than the foreclosure process, and as a result these houses are often in a much much better condition and with maintenance and landscaping still intact and more ready for sale to the new buyer.
In addition, study after studies have shown that these short sales will recoup more money for the lender than foreclosures.
Finally…
What took B of A so long to listen?
Because short sales can result in more dollars to Bank of America, some mortgage lenders have decided to start offer financial incentives (cash) to help homeowners who can’t pay their mortgages to participate to a short sale.
Bank of America first tested the incentive payments in a start up pilot program in Florida.
Under that pilot program, Bank of America paid up to $20,000 to borrowers who sold their homes in short sales.
Chase and Wells Fargo have and are in the process of testing similar cash incentive programs.
According to B of A’s website, this is a limited-time program and available only on properties that are pre-approved as short sales.
Bank of America states they actively encourage their home owners to seek short sale advise and soon.
The home sale must begin by the end of 2012 and close escrow by Sept. 26, 2013.
The exact cash compensation is determined case-by-case based on a calculation that involves the structures value, the amount owed and other “unknown” factors.
Bank of America appears to be serious about quickly implementing the program.
And hopefully other major lending institutions will be as quick to follow.
