MARKET SPEED measures the rate of conversion of listings to closings. The higher this number, the faster the market is converting. The area with the highest speed is the "quickest" market and is the most desirable to buyers. (Red font in Median In Escrow Price column signals expected price weakness.) Market Speed has declined from 61 in July 2009, to 51 in September, to the current 35. Overall, the gradual slowing trend continues. Consequently, Months Supply has increased and Percent Selling declined. Net inventory in escrow has begun to rise signaling the slowing trend will begin to reverse and closings will gradually increase. Note the price history in Historical Information. Median Price is gyrating between $118K in April of 2009 to $136K in November. Clearly, this is a market in search of bottom and that bottom occurred in April of 2009 at $118K median. Since then, the schedule has risen into the mid $130's. All other things being equal, and given that In Escrow Price is on the rise, look for stabilization with gradual positive trending of the price schedule. For those buyers awaiting bottom, their time to act is as soon as possible. Note the report is sorted on Market Speed. This will place those areas most popular with buyers at the top of the report.

Reasons Why Short Sales Closings Will Continue To Go Up In 2010 Do you work short sales? If you don’t consider this: In 2009, there were 13,000 short sales closings in Greater Phoenix. In 2010, I estimate there will be between 18,000 to 20,000 short sale closings. This paper briefly touches on why there will be more short sale closings in 2010 and has statistics on short sale closings in 2009. • Many home are underwater. The market value is less than what is owed. The median home value in December had declined 53% from its peak in June 2006 • In 2010, home values may go up slightly in some areas, they will be flat in most areas, and may decline in other areas. • The economy. • Adjustable rate mortgage resetting at higher interest rates. • The lender usually gets more per square foot for a short sale over a lender owned sale (as seen in Table 2 below). • The Time Value of Money: If the lender believes a property is in a declining market, they are more likely to consider a short sale since will probably get more money today through a short sale than tomorrow through a lender-owned sale.

• Sellers are encouraged to complete a Short Sale before December 31, 2012, which is the last day of the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and Debt Cancellation.

• The Federal Government is encouraging shorts sales through their Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA.) The program does not take effect until April 5, 2010, but servicers may implement it before then if they meet certain requirements. The program sunsets on December 31, 2012. • HAFA is intended to speed up short sale process. Some criteria of the program are: The property is the borrower’s principal residence. The mortgage loan is a first lien mortgage originated on or before January 1, 2009. The mortgage is delinquent or default is reasonably foreseeable. The current unpaid balance is equal to or less than $729,740 (the maximum unpaid balance limit may be $417,000 in Maricopa County. This has not yet been clarified). o The borrower’s total monthly mortgage payment exceeds 31 percent of the borrower’s gross income. o Provides financial incentives: $1,500 for borrower relocation assistance; $1,000 for servicers to cover administrative and processing costs; and up to $1,000 for investors for allowing a total of up to $3,000 in short sale proceeds to be distributed to subordinate lien holders.
