Maricopa Foreclosure Inventory is down

down1 Maricopa Foreclosure Inventory down

The amount of bank owned homes in Maricopa is considerable down from what we have seen in recent years. Maricopa was one of the hardest hit areas because the majority of the homes in this area were purchased during the booming years and with little or no money down.

Available Maricopa Foreclosures

It was just a few years ago when there were literally hundreds of bank owned and HUD homes on the market in Maricopa. Well, not anymore! The bank owned home inventory is down to just 30 available homes today and the limited inventory combined with the increased home buyer demand has lead to a great improvement of the overall market in the area. Maricopa homes are selling and home prices are climbing each month! In fact, the average home price today for a home in Maricopa is $188,005. It was not that long ago when the average home price was well under $100k.

Now may be a great time to get out there and purchase a home in Maricopa! Home prices are going to continue to rise as time passes.

Arizona HomePath Homes

So just what is a HomePath home? A HomePath home is a home that has been taken back though the foreclosure process from the original home owner and is now owned by Fannie Mae.

How do I purchase a HomePath home?

HomePath homes are purchased through  an online bidding system much like HUD homes. Anyone can make a bid on a HomePath home but you will need a Real Estate Agent to represent you as a buyer and place the bid for you. HINT HINT

What are the advantages of a HomePath home?

  • just 3% down payment required – less cash required to get into a home!
  • NO mortgage insurance required – prevents you from spending money that is not tax deductable
  • NO home appraisal required – provides you with the opportunity to outbid other buyers without having to make up the difference in cash
  • First Look program for owner occupants – escape competition from cash investors

Here is a link to an up to date list of available HomePath homes in Arizona.

If you have any questions about purchasing a HomePath home, please dont hesitate to ask. I am here to help!
