How to Sell Your House Fast Before Foreclosure in Arizona

How to Stop Foreclosure by Selling Your Arizona Home Fast

Facing foreclosure is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can experience. The good news is that in Arizona, you have options - and selling your house before the foreclosure is complete can save your credit and put cash in your pocket.

Understanding Arizona's Foreclosure Timeline

Arizona is a non-judicial foreclosure state, which means lenders can foreclose without going to court. Here's the typical timeline:

Day 1: You miss a mortgage payment

Day 90: After 90 days of missed payments, the lender sends a Notice of Default

Day 91+: You have 90 days to cure the default (pay what you owe)

Day 180: If not cured, a Notice of Trustee Sale is recorded

Day 270: The trustee sale (auction) occurs

Key point: You typically have 6-9 months from your first missed payment to the actual foreclosure sale. This gives you time to sell.

Why Selling is Better Than Foreclosure

Impact on Your Credit

Foreclosure: Drops credit score 100-150 points, stays on record 7 years

Regular sale: Minimal credit impact, fresh start immediately

Financial Outcome

Foreclosure: You lose all equity and may owe a deficiency

Selling: You keep remaining equity after paying off the mortgage

Future Home Buying

After foreclosure: Wait 3-7 years to buy another home

After selling: You can buy again immediately

Steps to Sell Before Foreclosure

1. Know Your Timeline

Contact your lender to understand exactly how much time you have. Get everything in writing.

2. Determine Your Equity Position

Calculate what you owe vs. what your home is worth. This determines if you can do a regular sale or need a short sale.

3. Consider a Cash Sale

Traditional sales take 45-90 days. Cash buyers can close in 7-14 days - often before your foreclosure deadline.

4. Get a Cash Offer

We provide no-obligation cash offers within 24 hours. No repairs, no cleaning, no realtor fees.

What is a Short Sale?

If you owe more than your house is worth (underwater), you may need a short sale. This is where the lender agrees to accept less than what's owed. Cash buyers like us have experience negotiating with lenders for short sale approval.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

Every day you wait, you lose options. The sooner you act, the more choices you have. Many homeowners wait too long, hoping things will get better, and end up losing their home at auction.
