For the purposes of this section, a person is presumed to have unreasonably delayed responding to an offer for a sale in lieu of a foreclosure sale on real property secured by a residential mortgage loan when the person fails to respond to an offer for a sale in lieu of a foreclosure sale with an acceptance or rejection of the offer within 90 days after receipt of the offer, unless the parties have agreed in writing to a delay of more than 90 days after receipt of the offer.

3. As used in this section:
