salt lake city: Sarah Palin as President website a big hit among Salt Lake voters - 10/31/08 09:56 AM
Interactive website is enjoyed by both Democrats and Republicans
It seems everyone's getting into politics this year, not just Saturday Night Live. And Sarah Palin is no exception.
There's a new, interactive website in which visitors can tour the oval office and meet Sarah Palin. Visitors can go around the room and click on various items to hear "Sarah Palin quotes." You can open windows, click on things on her desk, check out the wall hangings, and even hear some funny non-political quotes by clicking on the statue with the scales.
So have fun and take a moment to … (3 comments)

salt lake city: My Crystal Ball - FHA Loans Will Become a Major Player this Spring - 04/06/08 10:17 AM
Fannie Mae changes its loan-buying rules, while FHA steps up to the plate.
Historically, many people have avoided FHA loans due to two big factors: a 1.5% up front funding fee, and (for most people) monthly mortgage insurance for at least two years. But now, other factors are involved that can make FHA loans look quite attractive.
Fannie Mae, the kinda sorta government/private company that buys loans just announce they're not going to buy loans with credit scores under 580. They've also just announced their fees for a person with a score between 660 and 680 will be 1.5%, double that of a … (3 comments)

salt lake city: Being naughty in Salt Lake City - 03/21/08 07:39 PM
Pure as the driven snow? Hardly.
Salt Lake City gets a bad rap, and it makes me sad. Heck, I moved here with no intentions of staying (I only wanted to ski the Greatest Snow on Earth) and 17 years later here I am. Why, you ask? I thought you might.
Well, Salt Lake City is quite liberal and diverse. From domestic partnership benefits and gay representatives to just about any religious group you can imagine there truly is something here for everyone. We have a world class symphony. Our arts and law and medical programs are some of the best. Dining out … (1 comments)

salt lake city: 9th and 9th market direction - up or down? - 03/21/08 07:14 PM
Too close to call?
I've always loved the neighborhood around 9th and 9th. It's one of Salt Lake's great walking communities with locally owned shops and some great food, coffee, and movies.
So what's going on with real estate in that area? Let's start with some County statistics and narrow it down from there.
First, the market seems to be in a correction period. In the last quarter of last year, homes dropped back down to the first quarter prices. Nothing major. Here's the graph:
Now if we narrow right in on the 9th and 9th area, comparing year-to-date numbers from last year and … (0 comments)

salt lake city: FHA and Conventional Loan Limits - For Now - 03/18/08 12:17 PM
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.
It happened almost everywhere. FHA loan limits went through the roof, and conventional followed. But not for long...these loan limits are set to expire by the end of the year.
In Salt Lake City, the new FHA loan limit is $729,750! You can also get loans for duplexes, triplexes, or more, with a much higher loan limit. The new loans should allow more qualifying people to get into homes, and with better loans. Better loans are better for our economy due to extra money it keeps in … (1 comments)

salt lake city: Is the government saving our market? - 03/16/08 10:33 AM
FHA Loan Limits increase in Salt Lake County
How does $729,750 sound? Yeah, I fell off my chair, too! That's more than double the old limit.
FHA insured loan limits are now $729,750 for Salt Lake County. These loans will be a shot in the arm to the luxury market across the valley, as more people can qualify with less money down.
But what about mortgage insurance? Well, nobody likes paying for mortgage insurance. But often times interest rates are lower on an FHA loan than a conventional. Let's look at a real example.
If mortgage insurance is .5% of the loan amount annually, … (2 comments)

salt lake city: Salt Lake County Market Trends - 03/05/08 04:28 PM
I am excited to present the 2007 Year In Review Fantis Report, a simplified snapshot of the Salt Lake metropolitanreal estate market statistics. Overall, 2007 presented Salt Lake with a simmering real estate sales market in the wake of a red-hot 2006.During 2007 there were significant market changes. These changes wreaked havoc on small segments of the marketwhile rewarding others. The shift was clearly driven by increased supply and decreased demand for real estate. The pace of salesslowed 20-40% in many areas of the Salt Lake Metro market. Interesting statistics, wouldn't you say?
Despite predictions of doom and gloom among naysayers, … (5 comments)
