Short Sales Skyrocketing

Short sales are finally being seen as a viable alternative to foreclosure by both the banks and the consumer. Brandon Moore, CEO of RealtyTrac, just explained that short sales are skyrocketing:

“Short sales hit a three-year high in the first quarter (up 25%). Lenders are approving more aggressively priced short sales, which in turn is resulting in more successful short sales.”
