foreclosures for sale: Would You Agree That Selling Real Estate Is Lots of fun? - 03/05/12 03:12 PM
When I was a little girl, I would send out flyers, lick stamps. lick envelopes and stand on a chair by the road holding a sign--all to help my Real Estate Broker Dad sell homes. I also remember helping to clean his new construction homes and put little curves to show where the door swings and an X where the light goes on his plans.
As a child, I found it fun to play at being a real estate agent. Now that I'm a real live REALTOR and have been for 28 years, it is still fun. I mean it.
Recently, we closed a sale … (1 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Don't You Agree That Every Buyer Should Have A Through Inspection? - 02/17/12 11:49 AM
Recently a buyer didn't hire an inspection because he didn't want to pay an inspector. Problems were discovered 2 months after closing, and the buyer had to fix them. Sellers do not always know if there is a problem in their home. They are only required to disclose problems they know about to theYo buyer.
Many homes in today's market are bank owned. There is not even a seller to contact that knows anything about the condition of the home and property. Most banks never seen the home. An inspection is always a must in my book no matter what home and no matter who the seller is.

HomeSteps Provides Affordable Housing & Benefits Communities
Janet Naisbitt-Bagley attended a HomeSteps/Freddie Mac Road Show at the Utah County Board of REALTORS office in Orem, Utah, yesterday.

foreclosures for sale: Dare To Dream The Impossible Dream! Apparently, Nothing is Impossible! - 01/24/12 06:09 PM
Dare To Dream The Impossible Dream! Apparently, Nothing is Impossible!
Steve Florio of Mortgage Family emailed an article "Field of possibilities" that caught my attention. Let me quote, "Whatever it is you desire to have, to be, or to experience, already exists within the realm of possibility. The more fully you express that desire, the more completely it appears in your life." The above statement requires some thought beyond just reading. I do firmly believe that if you think positively, live courageously, and believe in yourself, dreams do come true. I also believe that it is of the utmost importance to make sure that our positive thoughts … (2 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Iron County, Utah, Real Estate is on the Move! - 12/02/11 06:23 PM
Iron County Real Estate Update from Utah Association of REALTORS (UAR), shows closings are up year to date 10.8% over last year. I think that's great! I'd be spinning cartwheels if our average sales price hadn't gone down to $92,500! I don't believe you could even buy a home for that price in the peak of the market in 2006!
With prices that low, commissions can't be bringing in huge profits at this point in our careers! I still feel positive, however, about our real estate market in the Cedar City, UT, area. Why? Because homes are selling, and buyers are excited … (0 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Act Now in Cedar City! Are Bargain-Priced Homes Selling Quickly Everywhere? - 11/12/11 04:47 PM
Cedar City, UT, homes are selling quickly when they are priced as bargains! Buyers are sad if their home goes under contract before they get around to making an offer! They also find it difficult to compete when several offers come in at once! I recommend that buyers who find the home they want get their offer in immediately and at their best price. If the buyer offers full price, there's a chance the offer can get a seller signature and go under contract before the multiple offers come in. Why submit a low offer and find out someone else bid higher and bought … (1 comments)

foreclosures for sale: How is Home Value Established When 2 Sold Comparables Are $70,000 Apart? - 11/08/11 06:31 PM
It's amazing how difficult it is sometimes to decide in advance what a home is worth. There are lots of sold comparables and some are miles apart in sold price. You can't just sit down with a seller and say flip a coin because they'll flip it their way to the top comparable which is usually too high to attract the next buyer.
I believe the seller needs to stand back and see the big picture--not just a printed report. I like to sit down with the seller and look together at the high and low range of solds that are similar … (1 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Why Would Anyone Buy Their Landlord's Home When They Could Buy Their Own? - 11/04/11 01:23 PM
Why Buy A Home For Your Landlord When You Could Establish Your Own Future?
Buyers in the Cedar City World of Real Estate are buying the bargains as they are in most areas in the country. We are seeing homeowners as well as investors taking advantage of the low prices and low interest rates which can translate into low and affordable monthly payments. Whether buyers want the joy and security of owning their homes or the future wealth in owning rentals, I believe now is the time to take advantage of the sea of opportunity in the form of gorgeous … (1 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Do You Believe that Renting is Replacing Home-Ownership In the USA? - 07/21/11 11:36 PM
After one of our investors closed on a rental home today, he met with me in my office to discuss his next purchase which will be in December. He went into detail about his research in real estate market trends. He strongly believes that we are going to become a nation of renters rather than a nation of home-owners. He is cashing in and putting his money into rental units and has already purchased several.
Could this be true? It is difficult for me to believe that anyone would rather rent than purchase their own home. I've rented and worried about whether to … (2 comments)

In our weekly Cedar City, Utah, ERA Realty Center office meeting this morning we discussed the real estate market and home sales. Several agents mentioned reports that the real estate market was expected to be improved for 2011 as compared to 2010. I believe it. This is certainly our experience so far! We are very busy with the type of work that generates closings--that's the kind we like!

foreclosures for sale: Cedar City Area Real Estate: Number Of Closed Home Sales Are UP 18.5%! - 12/03/10 06:38 PM
The Utah Association of REALTORS (UAR) recently published the October 2010 Local Market Updates for Utah. Iron County is doing well. Home sales in October of 2010 are up 11.5% over October 2009. Year to date (YTD) home sale statistics are even better and are up 18.5%!
The median price range, however, has dropped YTD from $149,500 to $132,000. I believe that indicates the trend of our market here. More buyers are purchasing homes, but they are very conservative and are serious bargain-shoppers.
I totally believe this is a great time to buy homes while prices and rates are affordable! Please … (0 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Buyers Benefit by Using REALTOR With ABR Designation When Buying Home! - 11/22/10 08:08 PM
Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) is the national designation buyers should watch for when choosing their real estate agent to purchase their home.

foreclosures for sale: Bargain-Priced Homes Attract Multiple Offers In Cedar City, Utah - 09/18/10 11:44 AM
The bargain-priced homes including foreclosures are often attracting offers quickly, and some of the banks are responding quickly. Last week I had a client who wanted 2 different homes, and both of them were placed under contract right away. He learned that you have to act immediately if you want a steal of a deal after missing out on 2 homes that he really wanted.
We have ths client set up to receive our automatic emails of the new listings that come one the market, so his plan is to move immediately on the next one he sees that he likes. Since there's an … (0 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Cedar City Real Estate Market Is Still Buzzing With Buyer Activity! - 05/05/10 10:40 PM
Many real estate agents were worried that the April 30 tax credit deadline would signal a new slump in real estate sales. Not so in Cedar City, Utah! My office is still very busy with the good kind of busy. You know--the kind that makes buyers and sellers happy when they make a win-win transaction begin. Negotiating offers and getting contracts signed are two of the favorite activities that we've been working on since April 30. We love it when sellers can make plans to move on with their new goals, and the buyers can start packing to move into their new home! I believe 2010 is going to … (1 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Cedar City Daily News Headline Reports "Home Sales Surge!" - 04/22/10 03:57 AM
That's exciting news for my real estate area. The line underneath the headline reads, "Foreclosures fuel 45 percent increase; prices dropping." Our real estate sales have increased 44-45 percent first quarter 2010 over 1st quarter 2009. That's great news, and I'm very happy about that. However, it breaks my heart for the sellers that prices are still dropping. In spite of that, it makes incredibly exciting news for buyers who want to buy now that prices are at bargain levels!
Buyers take advantage of foreclosures, homes priced-like foreclosures and new construction values at bargain-sale prices! Interest rates are low and are due to rise!

foreclosures for sale: How Many Real Estate Agents Joined The National Open House Today? - 04/11/10 12:12 AM
4 of my active homes for sale were open today for tours by buyers hoping to take advantage of the $8,000 and $6500 tax credits. According to our Cedar City Daily News there were approximately 40 homes open today in Iron County. I wonder what the success ratio was nationwide. Do you have any reports?
My 4 homes did receive some action, and there is one buyer who may purchase one of the 4 homes. She's narrowed her search to that home and is seeing if dad will help her buy it. The success ratio would be high if one out … (4 comments)

foreclosures for sale: Yes, My Real Estate Career IS Busy! How about yours? - 01/11/10 03:01 PM
I sent a blog on Saturday commenting on what a busy and productive week it had been. I got a blog back from an agent saying he didn't know if the word "busy" could be used any more in conjunction with real estate. i can't resist commenting that I have been in the real estate business for over 26 yeaars, and I have always been busy and still am. In fact, I have 3 licensed assistants plus my husband helping me, and we're all busy! My assitants and I are all working overtime to keep up with the workload.

foreclosures for sale: Is There Anyway to Bring On The Sunshine and Keep The Glittering Snow? - 12/09/09 12:53 PM
Cedar City, Utah, is a wonderland of snow for a short time, and then it melts in our glistening sunshine. My children used to take their coats to school and forget them in their locker because it would seem warm in the sun when they came home. Cedar City is a good place to call home because we have so many sun- shiney days. After living in the rainy state of Oregon for 7 years, I do really appreciate the sun!
The sunshine is a good thing, and I'm happy to see the snow leave the roads. I was a little sad this … (1 comments)
