salt lake city real estate information: Headlines Can Confuse When Looking To Buy A Salt Lake Home ! - 08/05/09 06:58 PM
Reading headlines can be confusing to those looking to buy a Salt Lake Home.
Last week, depending on where you looked, you could find a headline that declared that the recession was over, or that home sales were up for the 5th month in a row, (so the drought was a thing of the past) or that the comparison between the number of homes for sale was less last month than the same month last year.

salt lake city real estate information: Salt Lake Mortgage Rates, A Crap Shoot? - 05/01/09 09:41 AM
Shopping for low mortgage rates in Salt Lake City is a game of luck.
Some days, SLC mortgage rates are favorable. Other days, they're not. And while you can sometimes make an educated guess about where rates might be headed, you're not always going to guess right.
Even the experts get it wrong more often than they'd like.
But some parts of the rate shopping process can be predicted and one of them is the future of mortgage guidelines.
In general, the more often homeowners default on their respective mortgages, the harder it is for future mortgage applicants to be approved.
