real estate agents: Cedar City, UT, Area Experiences Investor and Homeowner Home Shopping! - 03/26/12 05:17 PM
We all agree that we are still in a buyer's market. However, the homes for sale in the lower price ranges are attracting multiple offers, and I believe this is a steady market that will soon experience rising prices. Do you agree? Investors and homeowners seem to be fighting over the available homes less than $100,000 and even as high as $200,000. Often there's a rush to get the offer in immediately.
Today I had a buyer call me to put an offer in on a home. When I called the listing agent, I was told that 2 offers had come … (0 comments)

real estate agents: UAR Reports That Utah's Housing Market Continued To Improve.... - 03/12/12 05:43 PM
According to the Utah Association of REALTORS (UAR) Report for January, "Rising home sales and declining housing inventory are boosting Utah's real estate market. 2012 was the best January in five years in terms of homes sold." The report also pointed out, "This is the eighth consecutive month that home sales have increased compared to the same month a year earlier."
The data from the Utah Association of Realtors states, "Signs point to a strong spring for home buying. The number of contracts signed to buy homes (pending sales) in January increased 20 percent, signaling a likely rise in February closed sales." We'll … (1 comments)

real estate agents: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Seller, Do You Really Want To Sell Your Home? - 02/21/12 12:42 PM
Last week I spoke to sellers that said they absolutely needed to sell their home quickly. Does that mean they were motivated? It was obvious these sellers were not. They informed me immediately that they would need a cash buyer because their home would not appraise for the amount they had to pocket. Therefore, the buyer would probably not be able to get a loan. Does this sound like a quick sell to you?
This type of scenario may have worked in 2005 when buyers were sometimes willing to pay $30,000 above appraised price. It most certainly is not reasonable in the current buyers' market. This is a bargain driven real estate market … (1 comments)

real estate agents: 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.

real estate agents: Are We All Selling HomeSteps/Freddie Mac Homes? If not, we should be! - 02/02/12 05:55 PM
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.

real estate agents: Short Sale, Foreclosure, Loan Modification, Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure? What? - 09/09/11 11:35 PM
When oh when can we just go back to resales and new construction with hardly any distressed sales any more? I feel so sad for the sellers who can't make their payments because they lost their jobs or have some other hardship; and yet, I feel so strongly that the payments should be made because a commitment was made to pay them. But how? It seems for many there just is no way. I certainly don't know the answer.
Everything seems all confused in today's world. I want it fixed, but I don't know what can be done to fix it. Will … (4 comments)

real estate agents: Does "Stop Dreaming, Start Doing" Apply To You? - 08/19/11 05:36 PM
That's the catchy title on the article I just read by Kelle sparta/November 2007. I love her first paragraph, "Some people do so well at achieving their goals, while others never seem to turn their career aspirations into reality. Why? Because "doers" put their plans into action, while "dreamers" set lofty goals that--consciously or not--they don't believe they can ever actually fulfill."
I believe that believing is an absolutely necessary step in reaching your goals. If your brain can't get around it, how can you possibly achieve it when your brain is directing the show? I love the song, "To Dream the … (2 comments)

real estate agents: Is Real Estate Market Recovery On The Way in 2011? I Believe It Is! - 04/08/11 05:42 PM
According to Utah Association of REALTORS (UAR) statistics for Iron County in January and February, sales are up and the median price is down. More buyers are buying for less money. Is that a trend for most of the nation?
I realize 2 months isn't enough to tell. I feel positive about the future, however, and hope to see the big picture improving in the next few months!

real estate agents: Are Home Mortgage Interest Rates On The Rise? - 03/25/11 06:44 PM
According to an email I received from Steve Florio at Mortgage Family on March 24, 2011, "Mortgage interest rates reversed course this week, rising as the U.S. Treasury began selling off mortgage-backed securities and investors' optimism about the U.S. economy overcame concerns about global events."
According to Steve's email, it appears that the focus has gone back to inflaction rather than global disasters, which is the probable cause for a rise in mortgage rates. Many economists and analysts predict a further increase in rates while approximately an equal number predict no changes in the next few weeks. Very few experts expect a … (0 comments)

real estate agents: Investors Take Advantage of Sea of Opportunity in Real Estate Bargains! - 08/09/10 01:48 PM
We are seeing investors taking advantage of low prices, low interest rates and huge inventories of homes and multi-units from which to choose. Why not let your renter buy your rental home for you?
What other investment can you make where someone else invests money for you? No one ever added any money to my stock funds, and they all but disappeared in the economic down turn. My rental units may have dropped in value, but the same rental units are still there! I love it that my renters are making the monthly payments for me!
Since real estate goes up over … (2 comments)

real estate agents: Have You Tried Meditation To Make It Through Real Estate Stress? - 10/22/09 11:59 PM
Recently I blogged about my extensive work hours and asked for suggestions to enable me to have a life! Even though it is late, I want to thank the real estate agent who suggested a form of meditation as an answer to my request for help. Great suggestion! I actually took a meditation class a few years back when I was trying to use natural healing to get rid of a brain tumor. I want you to all wish me luck as I leave now to see if I can remember how! It's worth a try! Agreed?

real estate agents: Real Estate? Never on a Sunday for that's my day of rest. You, too? - 10/17/09 02:08 PM
Tomorrow is Sunday! Yes! I am so happy that God commands us not to work on Sunday! What a kind commandment. He means it, too. That's the only commandment I can think of that comes with His divine example of taking a day off. Right? If not for this wonderful commandment, I would be working seven days and nights a week instead of 6! Sunday is my favorite day! How about you?
Please join me for a peaceful day of rest! Have a successful week next week selling real estate!

real estate agents: Ditto! Cedar City, Utah, Still Strong With Buyers So Far Thru January 7,2009! - 01/07/09 11:19 PM
I have spoken to several realtors that agree with me that we are having a huge increase of buyer activity so far in January. It is too soon to tell if this is a trend or a spurt, but it is strong enough to suggest a trend. If you are a buyer, you will probably want to purchase your home soon before the swing occurs to seller's market.

real estate agents: Homes in Cedar City, Utah--the market seems to have picked up! - 12/06/08 08:42 PM
Typically, the Cedar City, UT, real estate market slows to a crawl after Thanksgiving and picks up a bit after New Year. Therefore, the pick-up this time of year is very unusual but most welcome. I'm thinking the increase in buyer activity in the real estate market in Cedar City, Utah, is that interest rates and sales prices are incredibly low, and the inventory to choose from is remarkably high! Plus you can find your dream home or building lot in the form of bargains, foreclosures and short sales. Since we have a steady real estate market, home loans are flexible; and money is available … (1 comments)
