I know you have been anxiously awaiting the latest Phoenix real estate update, so here it is! As 2011 draws to a close, we are seeing some continuing signs of true recovery in the Phoenix real estate market despite the gloom and doom that some “media experts” continue to report. That being said, according to one Wall Street expert, we are not quite in recovery but in the stage just before. And a little holiday gift from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other major lenders for those homeowners with pending foreclosures.

They fought us on many aspects of this deal for for months. In the end, they agreed with us, but had wasted hundreds of man hours.
