Everyone can take a breath. Locally, Aimee Ghimire just reported this news which will hopefully take some of the pressure off home owners, in specific situations, who are behind on their mortgage payments. Take a look at the full article, Foreclosures suspends all foreclosures, for more details on who may benefit from this reprieve.

From Saturday’s Arizona Republic:
Bank of America, which last summer bought the nation’s largest subprime lender, Countrywide, has suspended foreclosure notices pending against nearly 2,000 homes across the Valley in the past week in an effort to help homeowners hold on to their property. And relief for even more homeowners is expected to follow.

I’ve been working with a steady stream of buyers this year, and have shown a lot of homes and sold a good number. Some are short sales, others are foreclosures, and the remainder are owners selling because it’s time. Everyone is impacted by our current real estate market, so taking sometime to slowdown the foreclosures in the Phoenix area and possibly come up with some alternative actions is a positive one.
