Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA) in Arizona
To help Arizona homeowners who are unable to keep their Arizona homes under the Home Affordable Modification Program in Arizona, the HAFA program may make an Arizona short sale or an Arizona deed-in-lieu of Arizona foreclosure a viable option to help them avoid Arizona foreclosure. The HAFA Program in Arizona, which will take effect on April 5, 2010, provides servicer, seller and junior lien holder incentives for these Arizona transactions and is designed to simplify and streamline use of Arizona short sales and Arizona deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.
What is an Arizona short sale?
An Arizona short sale is a transaction in which the Arizona lender, or Arizona lenders, agree to accept less than the mortgage amount owed by the current Arizona homeowner. In some cases, the difference is forgiven by the Arizona lender, and in others the Arizona homeowner must make arrangements with the lender to settle the remainder of the debt.
Why is the number of Arizona short sales rising?
Due to the recent economic crisis, including rising unemployment, and drops in Arizona home prices in communities across the nation, the number of Arizona short sales is increasing. Since an Arizona short sale generally costs the lender less than an Arizona foreclosure, it can be a viable way for an Arizona lender to minimize its losses.
An Arizona short sale can also be the best option for an Arizona homeowners who are "upside down" on mortgages because an Arizona short sale may not hurt their credit history as much as an Arizona foreclosure. As a result, Arizonan homeowners may qualify for another mortgage sooner once they get back on their feet financially.
What challenges have short sales presented for Arizona Realtors?
The rapid increase in the number of Arizona short sales, and the Arizona short sales process itself present a number of challenges for Arizona Realtors. Major challenges include:
(1) Limited experience: Many Arizona Realtors are new to the Arizona short sales process; a difficulty which is compounded by many lenders' lack of sufficient and experienced staff to process short sales. Even if the Arizona Realtors are experienced, most servicers are under-staffed and still not adequately trained, making negotiating a short sale particularly difficult.
(2) Absence of a uniform process and application: Until HAFA guidelines were established, both Arizona short-sales documents and processes were Arizona lender-specific, making it very difficult and time-consuming for Arizona Realtors to become knowledgeable and efficient in facilitating these transactions.
(3) Multiple lenders: When more than one lender is involved, the negotiations are much more difficult. Second lien holders often hold up the transaction to exert the largest possible payment, in exchange for releasing their lien, even though in Arizona foreclosure they will get nothing.
As a result of these challenges our fellow Arizona Realtors have reported difficulties with: unresponsive Arizona lenders; lost documents that require multiple submissions, inaccurate or unrealistic Arizona home value assessments, and long processing delays, which cause Arizona buyers to walk away. MyOwnArizona has the solutions for you.
What is being done to address or eliminate these challenges?
HAFA is designed to address many of the Arizona challenges presented by Arizona short sales. For more information contact us about NAR's Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program in Arizona.
