Stop Foreclosure in Goodyear, AZ

How foreclosure works in Goodyear

Arizona is a non-judicial foreclosure state. In Goodyear, your lender's trustee records a Notice of Trustee's Sale at the Maricopa County Recorder's Office. Under ARS §33-808, the trustee's sale must be at least 91 days after that recording — which is your single best window to act.

Most foreclosures here run on a ~211-day minimum clock from first missed payment to auction. The earlier you engage, the more options stay open: short sale, loan modification, reinstatement, deed-in-lieu, or sale with equity.

Ways to stop a Goodyear foreclosure

1. Short sale — sell for less than you owe; lender forgives the gap. Most Goodyear short sales close in 60–120 days and the lender pays the agent commissions and most closing costs.

2. Loan modification — restructure your loan with the servicer. Works best if income has stabilized.

3. Reinstatement — pay the past-due balance up to 5pm the business day before the sale (ARS §33-813).

4. Forbearance — pause payments short-term while you regroup.

5. Bankruptcy — Chapter 13 triggers an automatic stay that stops the auction and lets you catch up on a court-approved plan. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney first.

Why act now if you're in Goodyear

Once a Notice of Trustee's Sale is recorded against your Goodyear home, the clock is running. Lenders rarely postpone the sale unless a complete short sale package and qualified buyer offer are in their hands. The earlier we start, the more leverage you have.
