Percentage of Arizona Homes Underwater Drop by 63% From March 2010 to June 2014

Since President Obama will be visiting the Phoenix Area tomorrow Thursday, January 8, 2015, I think it might be helpful to update what has been happening with Underwater Arizona Homes, Arizona Companies, Arizona's Hospitals and Arizona's economy just before and during the Obama Administration.

On the Arizona Home Residence Mortgage Front, from a review of the excellent CoreLogic Quarterly Negative Equity Reports, the State of Arizona has made a monstrous improvement in the percentage of its Residential Homes with Mortgages which have Negative Equity.....or are Underwater.

CoreLogic reported that in March 2010, 51.3% of Arizona Homes with Mortgages were Underwater.  On the very positive side, this 51.3% dropped precipitously by 63% to 19.0% in the most recently reported June 2014.

During this most recent four and one-fourth years where the percentage of Arizona Underwater Homes declined by a massive 63%, Barack Obama was US President, John McCain was a US Senator from Arizona, and the US Federal Reserve was Headed by two brilliant people.....Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen.

And I agree with Financial Guru Jim Cramer when he asserts that President Obama's Executive Action on Immigration Reform will be helpful to the still somewhat depressed US Housing Market.
