For the state of Arizona, the continued bank foreclosures filing is one of the reasons why it is still unable to enjoy lasting recovery from the after effects of the recession. Aside from the housing crisis, which is further made worse by the declining home prices and lagging construction, there is also the problem involving the state’s revenue and budget need to ensure the state’s survival.
Arizona governor Jan Brewer requested a Special Session in order to adopt a measure which will most likely create more jobs. But a number of critics are worried that it could only lead to more economic problems, especially if only a few businesses decide to invest.
Experts and analysts believe that the state should address fundamental problems, such as the growing inventory of Arizona foreclosure homes, tax reform and budget deficit. And instead of trying to try to introduce new ideas, it would be better for the state if the balance is brought back so that long term recovery can be enjoyed.
With the problems in the housing market, in particular the large inventory of bank foreclosures for sale in the market, it is widely believed that solving such problems will jumpstart the state’s recovery. In 2010, foreclosure filings, which include pre foreclosures as well as trustee sales notices, declined.
This drop is a proof that lenders are trying their best to work with distressed homeowners in order to curb the growing number of Phoenix foreclosures and foreclosed houses in the other cities. If there are fewer foreclosures, it would result to stabilization of home prices and values. Even neighborhoods would benefit from such stabilization since it will encourage interested home buyers to settle down.
Nationally, the current year will most likely see further drop in home prices as the number of foreclosures USA remain to be high and demand for such homes is not as strong as the industry hopes. But the demand might grow if there is steady recovery.
If Arizona manages to overcome all their domestic issues, it would not be surprising to see people moving into the state and absorbing the housing oversupply, in particular the more affordable bank foreclosures.
