Prescott Arizona area foreclosure market report as of 6-27-09

Prescott Area Market Report
Thirty nine foreclosed or short sale homes came on the market last week, way up from last week’s 18. They made up about one in every 3 homes being listed in the Prescott Arizona Area MLS system. This is a marked increase and a one week high for distressed listings in the Prescott area. Could some of the phantom inventory being coming on the market?
See this post: Banks to unleash a phantom inventory of foreclosures say some
There were also 87 traditional listings that came on the market last week at an average of $177 per square foot. Compare that to the $104 per square foot average for the homes below. Which ones do you think will sell faster?
Short Sales: 9/39 are short sale listings (see yellow highlight). Short sales are becoming easier to deal with with some banks. I actually got through to a Citibank loan rep on 1 ring yesterday dealing with a short sale and they were very friendly too! If this is indeed a trend it could mean some better news for sellers and buyers alike who have been suffering from pathetic service from banks servicing short sales.
Thinking about a short sale? Read these tips to make it go as quickly as possible:

Great blog post. The media will never pick up on this because it is more complicated than a soundbite.
If I may add that with the number of outstanding loans that are scheduled to reset in the next couple of years, decreasing home values and stricter lending guidelines, the rate of foreclosures are on track to peak in 2010. Short sales have become a growing niche for Real Estate Agents to sell homes before they become bank owned.

1/3 on the market are foreclosed or short sales – wow. It’s nice that you research this information. The agents who represent home sellers prob don’t share that info with buyers. Take care.
Dear Patrick,
Great article! I agree with you. I also would like to add couple more alternatives to those homeowners who want to stay in their homes.
There are two products those aren’t widely knowing and common in the market place. Trsutee Foreclosure Delays and Loan Re-Write.
Did you know that Homeowners are illegally being foreclosed on especially in Trustee States?
In Judicial Foreclosure states, a judge reviews the legality of the foreclosure proceedings to ensure the homeowner is being protected against greedy lenders and yet still the lenders are not properly following the foreclosure laws correctly (see this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/31/nyregion/31judge.html?_r=2).
In Trustee States, lenders employ a “third party” trustee company to replace the legal function of a judge and orchestrate the foreclosure process. If banks are not legally foreclosing when they know a judge reviews the case what do you think they are doing when they only have to go through a trustee that they pay? And what is more interesting, the trustee company is liable for the foreclosure proceedings but who is going after the trustee companies to review the legality of these foreclosure packages? You guess it! Yes, No one is..!
Did you know that a loan Re-Write program has the ability to reduce homeowner’s current loan balance down to the current market value at prime + 3%?
Here is an example: You owe $500K on your home but it is only worth $350k. Investors will bulk purchase the note from your current lender and re-write it back to you at $350k, saving you (the homeowner) over $150k!
I hope this helps!
