Foreclosure prices in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area may be at bottom, but... The price of a Phoenix area foreclosed home is roughly the same as it was a year ago.  According to Arizona State University professor Karl Guntermann and his Repeat Sales Index, preliminary data shows that the median price of a foreclosed home in December 2009 was down just 2% from December 2008.  This means that foreclosure prices have basically reached bottom.  This has been a drastic change since October 2009, when foreclosed homes were selling for 15% less than they had a year earlier.  In November, that difference dropped to 9%.  The median sales price for December 2009, according to Guntermann was $127,000, up from $120,000 in November. Interesting enough, the median sales price for non-foreclosures, or ... 01/28/2010

CitiMortgage Short Sale Approval My jaw dropped this morning when I opened my email to see an approval letter for this short sale.....it only took THREE weeks!!! This is rare, as most short sales take 60 days to 6+months.
