The mortgage debt relief act is dead, now what? In this edition of his Real Estate Q&A column, Rose Law Group Real-Estate Litigation-Department Chairman Adam Martinez looks at the “Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007,” and how the “Act’s” expiration this year isn’t such bad news “for homeowners and also investors in Arizona who are contemplating foreclosure.” As Adam notes: “There is still potential relief from taxable income on debt forgiveness following a foreclosure even without the Act.” Read the full response in Rose Law Group Reporter. http://bit.ly/REQAQ2b

With lots in short supply, builders revive abandoned projects. (Disclosure: Rose Law Group represents Fulton Homes.) “[B]uilders and investors are starting to resurrect those half-finished subdivisions that were given up [on] after the [housing market] collapse.” — and Fulton Homes is one of the builders that’s doing so: “In Maricopa, Ariz., [Fulton] is… reviving… a project called Glennwilde that had been largely abandoned by developers for seven years.” Details on Glennwilde and other projects rising from the dead, in The Wall Street Journal. http://bit.ly/2j51HKq

See how much you will spend on rent in Phoenix, Scottsdale, New York, D.C., L.A. and other cities. Check out “new” average rent numbers courtesy of “multifamily real estate firm Zumper,” and view a 15-city slideshow in this report from Mike Sunnucks at Phoenix Business Journal. Here’s a teaser: “Scottsdale ended 2016 as one of the more expensive apartment rental markets in the U.S….” http://bit.ly/2hRvXMU

OUT AT HOME? – Arizona Diamondbacks sue Maricopa County to explore leaving Chase Field. “The Diamondbacks’ lease with the county… prevents the team from talking with outside groups until 2024, and requires the team to play in its current home until 2028. The… lawsuit is the latest twist in a long-running conflict over which party is responsible for as much as $187 million in repairs and upgrades to Chase Field.” D-backs Ken Kendrick and Board Supervisor Clint Hickman each weigh in with very different views on this legal matter, at AZCentral. http://bit.ly/2iEcfkQ

Collaboration drives development in Flagstaff. AzBigMedia profiles the Economic Collaborative of Northern Arizona, “an… organization supported by 16 regional agencies… [that] works collaboratively across public and private sectors to cultivate economic growth through leveraging regional economic development resources.” http://bit.ly/2hQXVU1

Home prices jump most in 2 years. “[T]he CoreLogic Home Price Index… for November 2016 indicates that there was a 7.1 percent appreciation in home prices nationally when compared to November 2015.” What’s got HPI so high?  What are the states where “appreciation was highest”? When is HPI is expected to “surpass [its April 2006] peak”? Get the answers in Jann Swanson’s report at Mortgage News Daily. http://bit.ly/2iAIXpd

Because you are an informed person, as a supplement to the Dealmaker, we are providing you 3 (sometimes more/less) non-real estate related articles we thought you might enjoy!
Infrastructure: past, present and our future (again).  A “few months” after Cheryl Lombard “spoke of how infrastructure makes our lives better and our economy more efficient,” the Valley Partnership president & CEO is on it again, with an AzBigMedia column explaining why her organization supports “a permanent solution to fund the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF),” and why the Partnership also backs “the Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET).” On a fascinating side note: If you sound out the acronyms HURF and GPLET, you’ll notice that they bear an uncanny resemblance to the noises that you and your tires make upon hitting huge potholes. Coincidence? http://bit.ly/2hT46dC

Maria Syms picks Arizona Legislature, resigns council seat. “Her [resignation] letter came a day after The Arizona Republic published a story about Syms’ intent to serve in both roles [as a Paradise Valley Town Council member and as State Representative]. The story cited the state Constitution, which bans holding dual offices.” The law is not entirely clear on this and we are all quite sad not to have Councilwoman Syms at PV Town Council anymore! http://bit.ly/2j9VGAg

Navajos recount litany of disappointments as tribe considers pulling housing authority’s funds. “[S]hoddy construction, wasteful spending and poor treatment…. An Arizona Republic investigation found the [Navajo Housing Authority] has failed the tribe’s people time and time again…. [Now, legislation] has moved through the Navajo Nation Council [that] would strip the NHA’s status as the tribally designated housing entity accepting U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds.” Read the report here —> http://bit.ly/2hRwFK4
