Why Scottsdale matters for your short sale

Luxury short sales in Scottsdale are rarer but recurring, particularly among ARM-reset borrowers and short-term rental owners hit by regulation. Single-family median around $1.3M (early 2026). Jumbo loan short sales typically take longer to approve — 90–150 days is common.

The Scottsdale short sale process

1. Free call. 15 minutes to understand your situation and options.
2. Listing. I list the home and market it aggressively to Scottsdale-area buyers.
3. Offer. We accept a qualified offer — usually within 30 days.
4. Lender package. I submit your hardship documentation and offer to the lender.
5. Negotiation. I push the lender toward approval and a full deficiency release.
6. Close. You sign, the home transfers, and you walk away clean.

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.
