Phoenix Housing Market Statistics

What's in the numbers? Do they even really mean anything? The questions relating to the current market and the future of the market continue to be a question on everyone's mind these days.

Is my Phoenix home ever going to recover in value? Will I be able to sell my phoenix home? Should I keep my Phoenix home? Should I short Sell my Phoenix home?

All of these questions that you as a Phoenix Homeowner face daily can be very daunting and not having the answers can be a very frustrating experience. My business partner and I have made changes to our website to help you find some of the answers to questions regarding changes that have taken place in the Phoenix Housing Market and are here to help you sift through the questions on your mind and find the answers. One of the things added is a monthly statistical report provided by our association with the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service to our website so you the Phoenix homeowner may have access to this tool. A report showing what the Phoenix Housing Market is doing using numbers and graphs and easy to read narrative. While the statistical thing is not for everyone, some find it just what they need to stay current and up to date. Be in the know with a compilation of what is happening in the specific market rather than the nation as a whole. Let's face it Phoenix for the most part is set apart from most other states with being a hot spot for those suffering from the cold and harsh winters. The amenities here are sought by many and that continues to be a bright spot in our future and for the future of the Phoenix Housing Market.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac join Homes Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac join Homes Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)

Fantastic News! Finally...its been a slow go but Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have got on board with the HAFA Program!

Borrowers do have options! Under the HAFA Program...

Many homeowners may feel that they can no longer afford their home, but want to avoid the negative effects of foreclosure.

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program offers homeowners, their mortgage servicers, and investors an incentive for completing a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. With these options, under HAFA, a homeowner leaves their home to transition to more affordable housing and alleviate the mortgage debt they owe.

These options are available for homeowners who: 1. do not qualify for a trial mortgage modification under the Making Home Affordable Program; 2. do not successfully complete the trial period for their modification; 3. miss at least two consecutive payments during their modification period; or 4. request a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Now those who hold Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac home loans will now be able to pre-approve the short sale for some eligible borrowers under the HAFA Program Effect as of August 1, 2010.

Even if your loan is not held by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac you may still qualify for the HAFA program. Simply ask!

To find the details please visit ValleyMove's Short Sale and Foreclosure Infomation Page with details on the HAFA Program.
