The San Tan Valley Housing Market
San Tan Valley is one of the largest unincorporated communities in the country, more than a hundred thousand people in Pinal County subdivisions with no city government of their own. It was built almost entirely between 2004 and 2008, so the housing stock in Johnson Ranch, San Tan Heights, Copper Basin, and Pecan Creek is aging in lockstep: tile-roof underlayment, air conditioners, and water heaters from the boom years are all due at once, and the HOAs that run every community are quick to cite homes that fall behind. This area was hit as hard as anywhere in Arizona by the foreclosure wave, and a lot of today's sellers are the second or third owner of a home that was flipped cheaply. Services come from the county, the main roads into Queen Creek and Gilbert are congested at rush hour, and the older pockets along the San Tan foothills are still on wells and septic. Tired landlords, HOA fines, relocation out of the far east Valley, and inherited homes are the situations we handle most in San Tan Valley.
Divorce and the House Is in Foreclosure in San Tan Valley
When a marriage ends, the house often stops being paid. One spouse moves out and refuses to fund a house they no longer live in; the other cannot carry it alone. In Arizona the lender does not care about the divorce: it records a notice of trustee's sale and can sell the house about ninety days later. The divorce case moves on the court's schedule; the foreclosure moves on the lender's. Couples who wait for the decree before dealing with the house routinely lose it, and with it the community equity they were fighting over. A foreclosure is the worst financial outcome for both sides. It erases the equity, damages both credit reports since both names are on the loan, and can leave a deficiency on loans that Arizona's anti-deficiency protections do not cover. A fast sale before the auction preserves whatever equity remains and gives the court something to divide. We buy houses from divorcing couples facing foreclosure. We work with both attorneys, structure the contract so both spouses sign or so a court order authorizes the sale, contact the trustee about postponing the sale while the closing is scheduled, and close through a title company that pays the lender and holds or splits the proceeds exactly as the decree or a stipulated order directs. Neither spouse has to cooperate beyond signing; neither has to fund repairs or showings.
