Q2 2013 homes sales in 85255 -Real Estate Report
The home sales information has been broken into three sales types that are described below:
– Non-Distressed Sales – For these sales, the buyer and seller come to terms on the home sale and no outside approval is necessary. These are what I call “regular” or “normal” home sales.
– Short Sales – Short sales take place when the sales price of the home will be less than what is owed on it. In this case, a third party lienholder needs to approve the terms of the sale before it can close, as they will be taking a loss. Short sales are considered a type of distress sale.
– Foreclosures – Foreclosures are where the lienholder has taken back the home via the foreclosure process. Buyers of these homes negotiate with the lienholder who is acting as the seller in the transaction. Foreclosures are another type of distress sale.
