Arizona has been running monstrously high rating numbers in the foreclosure market for a long time. They were expecting to see another increase in the percentage of foreclosures again this time when the numbers were released and it appears that they were not disappointed.

The increase between May and July of 2009 however was not nearly as bad as was originally thought and this has people somewhat hopeful that perhaps the stimulus package offered by the federal government is offering some relief to the people in the state of Arizona.

The biggest reason that the state of Arizona is in such problems here with the foreclosure market is that the homes are simply falling in value so rapidly that people can almost lose all the equity that they had in the home overnight.

Houses that actually had quite a bit of positive equity now are worth only pennies on the dollar and people are just choosing to let the homes fall into foreclosure rather than attempting to put more money into it that they might never recover.

It is a situation that is much more prevalent here that it is almost anywhere else in the country with the exception of California and Florida which have both seen an increase in this type of behavior from homeowners.

There is hope that the lower than expected increase may continue into the next period and that if it does there is hopes that the slowdown might stimulate the real estate market into making a reversal to the point where it might even begin to decrease.

The experts agree that the market in the state of Arizona is poor and they also feel that things are not yet as bad as they will get but they agree that the slowdown in the percentages is a good sign.
