i am a buyer waiting 5 1/2 months.
Can you imagine how many years it is going to take to resolve these troubled loans if each one takes 6 months or more to resolve?
They could hire more staff. They won’t do that because they expect the crisis to pass soon; and they don’t want to fire all the people they hired.
The newspaper had an interesting explanation of the delays. Most loans are paid to a bank but the actual loan is owned by an “investor”. Each month the bank gets $30 to process the payment and forward it to the investor. During a short sale, that same bank can charge $300. Ten times more money. You can see why the bank would not be in a hurry to close the sale.
nothing – banks are not going to be in a hurry to lose money
