Tempe Real Estate – Dean Ouellette Short Sale Agent
Posts tagged as:
When you are watching the news and see those nightly national real estate stats, remember they are not relevant to you and your real estate market at all.

In the Tempe and Phoenix market the gap on price per square foot between foreclosures and short sales is narrowing and getting much closer. While a foreclosure still is, and probably always will be more expensive than a short sale, the numbers are getting closer. This may be one reason that banks are asking for more sellers to come to the table with money.
