real estate: Utah Market Watch...Forecast for Winter 2007-2008 - 12/08/07 12:34 PM

With approx. 23,000 homes to sell in Utah currently, Buyers are holding all most every card possible (Data from the MLS and estimated FSBO activity).  This is a great time to buy.  
I was helping with a buyer currently that has decent income, but credit was the issue for him.  It is important to remember that even in good times like these for the buyers, they need to have their house in order (figuratively speaking).   There are great deals available and banks will be increasingly helpful during the entire winter.  
As most of you are aware this is the slow time in our industry and to make it worse banks … (1 comments)

real estate: List vs Sale...What's the Difference? - 11/19/07 11:13 AM
As a real estate professional (For more on my background click here), I am always interested in giving good information to my clients.  I have found over the years that many are confused with the terms: "List" and "Sale".  I would like to give an explanation to these two terms here.  Let's start with Sale, this is the actual price your home will sell for in the market.  It is the price at which a reasonable buyer will pay for your home.  List means the price you as a property owner would like to get!  I must be clear that the terms are … (4 comments)

real estate: Hot Marktet in Saratoga Springs, Utah??? - 11/16/07 11:35 AM
This table shows the current real estate activity for Saratoga Springs Utah.  There are some great opportunities for homes that are priced right!  The numbers in the lower price ranges are seeing the most activity right now.  Homes priced at or below $350,000 will see some good activity if priced correctly.  This means that a home with 2,500 sqft, 3 beds, 2.5 baths priced at $335,000 is probably over priced right now.  That home should be priced around $245,000 right now!  I know, I know a lot of you are saying that's ridiculous!  I say take a look at the market … (0 comments)

#3 to sell your home in 30 Days. Your Home should be updated. "What does that mean?" If your home was built over 10 years ago, chances are it needs a little updating. It can be as simple as painting a few rooms (two or three tones works great right now!)
