Kartchner Homes came to our office meeting today. They have slashed their prices, and have focused on making their new construction homes affordable. The base price of their homes, without lots, is $92,000 for 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage, Tri-Level Homes near 1,500 square feet. These homes also come with unfinished basements, that can potentially be 4 bedroom houses. In the Green Meadows and RoseHill Neighborhoods, the base models of these homes can be purchased for less than $150,000. New Construction homes in Logan haven't been this cheap for years.
Reality is that the Market is different than it's been the past few years. For Cache County Real Estate, we have more homes for sale than we've ever had before. In Northern Utah the market of the moment includes short sales, foreclosures and REO's. Sellers are upside down, they owe more than their homes are worth. They refuse to list with an agent because they know they can't pay a commission let alone price the house what it's really worth. These type of clients need to list with an agent more than anyone.
Unless agents know how to work these type of properties, they are not succeeding, and they are not as useful to their clients as they should be.
Banks don't want foreclosures to happen. It's estimated that it costs a bank more than $50,000 for a foreclosure. When banks own homes, they can't lend that money out to others which is how they make thier money. Good real estate agents can get full commissions paid by the bank when they list short sales and are on top of things so the homes don't actually foreclose. Short sales can take a considerable amount of time, but they are a huge part of our market today.
Right now there are 775 residential Cache County Homes listed on the MLS right now. According to my records, this is nearly a record. In October at one point we had 778 residential homes for sale.
If the number of homes on the market continues to rise, we can expect a declines in home prices for most price ranges. But if the number of homes on the market starts to decline, as summer sales go up (Traditionally May-September are the strongest home selling months of the year), we may have hit bottom.
It's a great time for first time buyers, to buy with the low interest rates and government incentives. It's also a great time for or buyers who are looking to move up. Any loss you may take on the sell of your current home can be more than made up in the deal you'll get on a bigger home. It's the higher priced homes that are really struggling to sell and slashing prices. There are a lot of sweet deals out there, especially when you consider how much your affordabilty has increased based on the ridiculously low interest rates.
