Pre-Foreclosures are still playing a major role in the Arizona housing market.  The number of pre-foreclosures increased again in February, after experiencing a decrease in January to their lowest level since late 2008.  This is just a sign that pre-foreclosures, or notice of trustee sales, are continuing to play a significant role in the Arizona housing market.  The drop in pre-foreclosures in January had some housing market analysts hopeful that lenders were making headway in working with borrowers on loan modifications.  Unfortunately, February numbers were at 7,604 pre-foreclosure notices compared to 6,762 in January, and increase of 842.  The number of foreclosures fell in February to 4,271 from 4,452 in January, but the increase in pre-foreclosures for February typically means mor... 03/08/2010

Losing your home in a foreclosure?  How homes are foreclosed on varies by state, but here in Arizona it is a pretty simple process.  What starts the foreclosure process is when a homeowner falls behind on at least three mortgage payments.  It used to be that on the 91st day of non payment of a mortgage, the lender would initiate foreclosure proceedings.  I have heard that some homeowners these days have missed over a years worth of mortgage payments and their lender had not yet started the foreclosure proceedings.  This has allowed homeowners to save a great deal of money, not paying a mortgage or rent, as well as allowing them to stay in their homes much longer than the typical time period that it takes for eviction. After three missed mortgage payments, the lender initially hires a tr... 03/08/2010

One of the most substantial housing projects in years is under way in Gilbert.  Construction has started on roads, pipelines and other needs for Adora Trails, a 587-acre development planned near Val Vista Drive and Riggs Road being built by Taylor Morrison Homes.  The company will start building models as early as July, with production on the first of 1,871 homes in September.

When looking at Gilbert AZ real estate statistics, don't forget to remember your basic math.  Median prices have been going up in some areas, down in others.  The median is the value that occurs in the middle of everything that has sold.  For example, if seven apples have sold for $1, $1.25, $1.5, $1.5, $1.5, $1.75 and $2.  The median price would be $1.5.  The median value is the middle price, it does not represent the size, quality or type of apple. In real estate it is important to remember that the median sales price represents the average price of what homes are selling for in a given area.  It is not representing the size, condition or value of a home.  The median sales price can be offset by Gilbert foreclosure property that is selling in an area as well as by luxury property tha... 03/04/2010

There is a new generation of kids growing up these days, the iGeneration, and it's all because of technology.  The iGeneration "wants to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don't quite get", said Sharon Jayson in a USA Today article the other day.  As the Y Generation gets older, the iGeneration does not remember a time without constant connectivity through technology.  These kids are always going to be available to their peers no matter where they are.Larry Rosen has written a book called "Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the way they learn."  Rosen says the little "i" stands for individualized.  "Everything is customized and individualized to me.  My music choices are customized to me.  What I watch on TV is customizable to me."  Rosen al... 03/01/2010

East Valley Hospitals keep pace with growing population Here's the typical growth pattern for the Phoenix area; residential homes are constructed, then developers watch the population increase until the critical population to sustain grocery stores and retail establishments is reached.  Then we cross our fingers and pray that  road construction catches up.  A much longer leadtime but very important infrastructure activity is the addition of hospitals to meet the healthcare demands of the growing areas and towns.   The east valley has seen the addition of 4 major hospitals open their doors to the public  in the last 4 years.  The Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, pictured above opened in June 2006, Mountain Vista Medical Center in Mesa opened July 2007, Banner Gateway in Gilbert opened Sept... 03/01/2010
