Why Gilbert matters for your short sale
Gilbert's young-family, first-time-buyer concentration means higher exposure to 2-1/3-1 buydown expirations and entry-level ARMs resetting in 2025–2026. Most short sales here close in 60–90 days thanks to steady buyer demand.

Arizona laws that protect you
Arizona is a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning most lenders foreclose through a trustee's sale under Arizona Revised Statutes Title 33. Two laws matter most:
- ARS §33-808 — requires at least 90 days between a Notice of Trustee's Sale and the auction. That's your window to act.
- ARS §33-814 — Arizona's anti-deficiency statute protects qualifying owner-occupied homeowners from being pursued for the difference after foreclosure or short sale.
