Why Maricopa matters for your short sale
Despite the name, the City of Maricopa is in Pinal County, not Maricopa County. Short sales here go through the Pinal County Recorder's Office. Heavy concentration of first-time buyers and newer construction makes this one of the most ARM-reset and buydown-exposed markets in Arizona.

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.
