Kristin’s Phoenix Real Estate Update – December 2011

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.

Which is better? Short sale or foreclosure?

Which is better? Short sale or foreclosure?

East Valley Team member Kristin LaVanway talks about yesterday’s short sale vs foreclosure video.

Yesterday Dean Ouellette sat down with Kevin Hardin of Thomson Law to discuss the legal aspects of foreclosure versus short sale. This video offers some objective, straight forward information that will help many people who are facing this tough decision.

Even though a foreclosure may seem easier and less emotionally taxing, more times than not, the short sale puts the homebuyer in the better position in the end. Remember, just because the bank is not supposed to come after you for a deficiency, does not mean they will not. So when considering which is better a short sale or a foreclosure, remember in a short sale in the end you will only sign off if the protections are there in writing.
