Pre-Auction Flip

Needs senior-loan and HUD partial-claim payoffs

The property and manufactured-home valuation are now matched. A February 2025 HUD partial-claim mortgage records $14,404.39 against the same parcel (218-57-863), in addition to the foreclosing $353,479 loan. Reconcile both current obligations before grading; the recorded claim amount is not a current payoff.

Estimate from public loan records reviewed Sep 22, 2026. Actual payoff, other liens and later filings are not verified. Not a payoff quote or title clearance.

Official source retrieved Oct 1, 2026 confirms upcoming sale Dec 17, 2026.

Yields are gross yield before vacancy, repairs, management, taxes, insurance, HOA, utilities, financing, and capital expenditures. Annual rent = typical monthly rent × 12, divided by a verified as-is value or a reviewed all-in cost; they are not cap rates and show only when both inputs are current.

How this is measured

Maricopa County Assessor sales affidavits for this ZIP: single-parcel single-family and condo/townhouse sales with no reject code, unadjusted median of the trailing three recorded months, same ending month compared across years. The file keeps only each parcel's latest recorded sale, so earlier windows omit homes that have resold since; 3- and 5-year changes are limited to Low confidence. Sale mix can affect medians; this is not appreciation of this specific property.

At least 20 transactions at each endpoint, comparable periods, and current observations are required. Confidence also reflects sample size and geographic specificity. Changes in the mix of homes sold may move the median.

Forward Market Outlook

Flat — mixed signals

How the local market changed over the past year:

  • Fewer homes for sale: 121 listings a year ago → 110 listings nowlittle change
  • Homes sell faster: 68 days a year ago → 55 days nowgood for prices
  • More sellers are cutting prices: 26% of listings a year ago → 30% of listings nowbad for prices
How this is decided

Positive or Weakening needs at least three signals covering supply and demand, with two-thirds pointing the same way and none against; otherwise it is Flat. This is a screen of recent conditions, not a price forecast.
