  While the Short Sale days of the previous decade are for the most part behind us, the reality is that there are still hundreds of homes "under water" in Arizona.   While it's true that not every property facing foreclosure in Surprise is "under water", may of them are, and unfortunately many homeowners still don't understand that the likelihood is they will be far better off doing a Short Sale of their Surprise home than allowing their Surprise home to be sold at auction on the courthouse steps!    Short Sales are "regular resales" with one big difference.     Your lender(s) must agree to accept less than the amount(s) owed on your loan(s).   While there are many details regarding Short Sale Seller financial circumstances and the hardship they face, the bottom line is that most lender...

Sun City Grand is it time to sell your home?As it stands today Sun City Grand has the fewer homes for sale than it has had in my 9 year career of saling homes in this area. I live in Grand and my office is in Grand so I do keep a close eye on th revolving inventories. The end of summer always tends to have the lowest inventory as many wait for snowbirds and renters to come back before listing their homes. Think of it this way if you are anticipating selling your home as far as competition you are not going to get in a better position than right now. Having so few homes on market gives you a hands down advantage to sell your home as the first of October inventory usually starts rising all the way through April. Granted there are more people to sell to October through April but there is a...

  There are still hundreds of homes "under water" in Arizona.   In other words - the homes are worth less than the mortgage balance(s) - so it's not surprising that many homeowners are looking for solutions to stop foreclosure.   One solution to stop foreclosure and mitigate damage to a homeowner's credit is a Short Sale.   Short Sales are "regular resales" with one big difference.   Your lender(s) must agree to accept less than the amount(s) owed on your loan(s).   While there are many details regarding Short Sale Seller financial circumstances and the hardship they face, the bottom line is that most lenders prefer to stop foreclosure in favor of processing a Short Sale where the Seller is able to procure a Fair Market Value contract for their home.   After all, why foreclose on a home...

While the number of homes "under water" in Surprise is significantly less than just a few years ago, some homeowners who purchased just before the "crash" that started in 2007 are still in a position where they owe more on their home than will be forthcoming from proceeds of a sale of the home. If you need to sell your home, and you are in this situation, a Short Sale is one solution to this situation. By definition a Short Sale is a regular resale with one distinct and significant difference. The agreement of your lender(s) to accept less than the balance owed on the loan(s). Whether or not you meet the other "requirements" of your lender(s) such as a "valid" hardship can only be determined by consultation with a skilled and experienced professional. There should be no upfront charge f...

Heads up for buyers! How may times have your been in this situation? As an Agent you have explained these “THOU SHALL NOTS” at least once and they do the complete opposite. Once your client goes under contract to purchase a new home give them this handy reminder to stick on their refrigerator. It may help to keep them on the straight and narrow until they close escrow. Good luck with all your closings.
