2008 – 1,621

2009 – 1,133

Drip Confirmation

In Bank of America’s 4th quarter report today (seen at Calculated Risk), they state their preference and commitment to the drip system:

Foreclosures

  • Resumed foreclosure sales in most non-judicial states in early December, starting with vacant and non-owner occupied properties; expect to resume sales in remaining states in 1Q11.
  • Maintaining a deliberate and phased approach.
  • Remain committed to ensure no property is taken to foreclosure improperly.
  • Review of our foreclosure process shows the basis for our decisions has been accurate.
  • Process areas identified for improvement.
