Cache Valley Real Estate Market Update

Kaleb Kunz — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:30:29 -0800

Cache Valley Real Estate Market Update: For the past 5 months home sales in Cache Valley have consistently been around 100 which is a huge improvement from the first 5 months of the year. November is also shaping up to be a great month because of the push from first time home buyers to get closed before the $8000 tax credit may end. The gap between the average list to sales price is a little wider....but this isn't showing the list - sales price of a single home....it's simply showing the average price of a home for sale in the Valley compared to the average price that homes sell for.

Logan Utah Real Estate - Home Run 2 Grant

Kaleb Kunz — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:30:22 -0800

As of today there are no more $4000 new construction grants for home buyers in the Logan Utah Real Estate market as well as the rest of the state. 1950 home buyers took advantage of the grant to purchase new construction homes that have never been lived in.

Utah Housing is still accepting applications for the grant up until November 9. Those will be on a waiting list and will be granted in the event that some of the previous applicants do not follow through on their home purchase.

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension

Kaleb Kunz — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:02:00 -0800

The Fed has decided to extend the current $8000 first time home buyer credit that is supposed to expire as of Novermber 30, 2009. Both the Senate and House have approved the bill and now all that is left is for President Obama to sign it which will probably take place on Friday.

The new extension rules show that buyers have to have a contract on a home before May 1, 2010 and closed by July 1, 2010 to receive the tax credit.

A $6500 tax credit has been extended to current home owners who have lived in their current home for 5 of the last 8 years. The deadline is the same as the above $8000 tax credit.

It looks like there are still some great incentives to get out and purchase a home!

Here's the current market up date for the Logan Utah Real Estate market. The number of homes sold is up slightly from last month.....but overall has been very consistent throughout the year. The average sales price for Logan Homes is down along with the time of sale going up a little more than the average has been. A large number of these sold homes have been to first time home buyers because of the $8000 tax credit offer from the Government.....which is under vote now to possibly be extended past the November 30 deadline.

Logan Utah Real Estate - Parade of Homes 2009

My wife, myself and another couple just spent today checking out the 2009 Parade of Homes for Cache Valley Utah....what a great experience! As an agent I am constantly looking at homes on the market but I must say it takes a whole new meaning and I gain a whole new perspective by taking my wife with me.

A couple notes on the Parade: 1. Both the home in Smithfield by Jeff Wood and the home in Mendon by Dan Hunsaker were both incredible! Not just large in size or in great areas....but the workmanship and layouts were immacualte. 2. Visionary Homes and Kartchner both proved that you can still build a new home in a very accesible price range. Both homes including lots were under the $200,000 range.

I have been blessed to have been able to sell the past 6 years in this Logan Utah Real Estate Market!

Here's the market update for the Logan Utah Real Estate Market: The number of sold homes have consistently risen each month starting at 15 in January to 36 sold homes in May.

On the other hand, the average sales and list price of Homes For Sale in Logan Utah has been fluctuating over the past 5 months. Below are graphs showing these market updates:

Comparative Market Analysis - Logan Utah Real Estate

Kaleb Kunz — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:52:46 -0700

Any home owner that wants an accuarate estimate of how much their home is worth needs to have a Licensed Realtor provide them with a Comparative Market Analysis(CMA). A CMA is an informal estimate of the market value of your property. It is based on the sale of recent comparable properties in your area and takes into consideration the basic specifications of the homes including size, age, features, etc.

How does a CMA help you? If you are in the market to sell a home, a CMA can help you determine the correct listing price you need to position your home at as well as an estimate of the time it will take to sell. It can also show you the other homes for sale comparable to yours so you know who your competition is.

Free CMA - If you would like a free CMA for your home for sale in Cache Valley please visit the following link: Logan Utah Real Estate

2008 Average Days on Market for Cache Valley Home Sales

Kaleb Kunz — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:49:24 -0800

Logan Utah Real Estate

Homes For Sale in Logan Utah

Homes For Sale in Cache County

Via Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals:

Cache Valley Homes in 2008 took a little bit longer to sell than they did in 2007. This year the average home that sold was on the market for 71 days compared with 45 days last year. Less homes sold in the first month on the market this year, and a greater percentage of homes were on the market for for more than 121 days. The pie charts below show the comparison of the number of days on market in 2007 and 2008.

One interesting note is that there were actually more total listings in '08 (2217) than '07 (2171). That just means that there were more unsold homes this year than last.

Another interesting thing is that the current active listings have already been for sale for an average of 125 days. Many of these homes have been on the market for more than a year. Nearly half the listings for sale have already been on the market for more than four months. Some of thes listings will be on the market for much longer as they are in price ranges that just don't have the buyers. The numbers for the active listing days on market also appears much more out of line because of the season. There are just plain less homes listed during the winter months in Cache Valley.

Homes for sale in Cache County

Via Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals:

Even with the demand for rentals in Cache County, Multi Family Homes, Duplexes, Triplexes, and Fourplex Sales went down in 2008 compared with 2007. One reason may be that obtaining financing for non owner occupied properties became substantially more difficult. 42 Multi Family properties in Cache County sold in 2008. Down 19% from 2007. Home prices of duplexes actually increased while prices of fourplexes declined.

There is currently more inventory (45 multi family properties) for sale in Cache County than sold all of last year, giving multi family properties 12.86 months of active inventory. Here is the break down of these numbers.

Via Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals:

One of the biggest shifts with the real estate market in Cache County has been with land. 2008 land sales were almost half of what they were in 2007. Surprisingly, sales prices have remained fairly stable, but the active inventory of land is far greater than the number of land sold. When compared with 2008 land sales numbers, Cache County currently has more than 52 months of inventory. These stats might even be an underestimate as in most developments, not all lots for sale are listed on the MLS. Subdivisions usually only list a few lots at a time when there might be hundreds of available lots for sale. In the higher acreages, the numbers mean very little as the comparison of the different parcels of land can be entirely different. One thing for certain is that it is a BUYERS MARKET for land in Cache County, and there is a surplus of lots for sale in all price ranges.

Here is a chart showint the comparison of land for sale in Cache Valley for different lot sizes, and the sales results for the past two years.

Homes for sale in Logan Utah

Real Estate in Logan Utah

Via Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals:

2008 is nearly over. The Cache Valley Real Estate Market has shifted, but homes are still being bought and sold. These numbers are not official but they're probably pretty accurate. Overall, single family home sales in Cache County were down by about 18% compared to 2007, and the average price was down by 3.8%.

Here is a chart showing the comparison of Cache Valley Homes sold in 2007, 2008 (thus far), and active Cache Valley Home Listings. It also shows how different price ranges are selling, and the months of inventory for each price range. This data can help Cache Valley Sellers to realize the state of the market we're in, which price ranges are steadily selling, and which are struggling the most.

The $180,000 to $220,000 price range actually had an increase of sales this year. The Logan Real Estate market is considered "balanced" between $140,000 and $220,000, where there is currently six months worth of active inventory.

Surprisingly, the below $100,000 market has been very slow this year. This market segment has 18 months of active inventory, and sales were down by 46%. This could be in large part because the demand for fixer uppers and investment properties has gone down substantially with more difficult financing guidelines. It is a buyers market for anything priced above $220,000, and a heavy buyers market for listings priced above $350,000. There weren't any single family homes sold in Cache County priced above $750,000 even though there are currently 21 on the market.

These numbers are NOT official. The also only represent properties sold by Realtors and don't reflect homes for sale by owner in Cache Valley.

Great Blog! Search homes for sale in Logan Utah.

Via Alan Barker (Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals):

If you still aren't convinced that it is a GREAT time to buy consider this:

With the low interest rates prices have just gone substantially down. Consider this a "year end close out sale" on real estate.

Interest rates are at rock bottom right now, you can purchase a $250,000 house for the same monthly payment you would have on a $200,000 house just a few months ago.

At 6.5% interest, (a historically low rate for mortgage loans) the Principal and Interest payment on a 30 year fixed loan with 20% down would be $1011 a month on for a $200,000 house.

At 4.5% interest, the PI payment on a $250,000 home would be $1013 a month with 20% down.

Now in this example the property taxes and insurance would likely be down, and the down payment on the $250,000 house would be an additional $10,000, but the point is that home prices are incredibly affordable for those who qualify for loans. Also consider that Homes in Cache Valley in the $250,0000 plus range have dropped in value considerably over the past year. For the payment of $200,000, house you can buy what would have been a $300,000 house (and what will be again in a year or two) a year ago.

Increasing Home Values - Logan Utah Real Estate

Kaleb Kunz — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 22:55:26 -0800

The average American has their home as their biggest investment. There are a lot of factors which determine a home's value including condition, location, size etc. Here is a list of smaller remodeling projects that home buyers find value in when searching for a home.

Change/Update Fixtures: New faucets, light fixtures, hardware etc., all give your home a modern and updated feel.

Refinish Or Install New Kitchen Cabinets: Simply putting new hardware and a fresh coat of paint can do wonders.

Install New Doors: Makes a huge difference in the feel of a room.

Add a Bedroom: Not always possible but if there is extra square footage, 3-4 bedroom homes almost always sell faster than 2 bedroom homes.

New Shower: A great way to bring your bathroom up to date.

Re-Grout Tile: New grout brings out the best in tile!

New Windows: One of the first things buyers look at...also lowers your energy bill.

Entryway: Paint the front door, add a new handle....great first impression.

Deck: Can transform a backyard...a great use of entertainment space.

There are many more things you can do to increase home value. One key is to try to keep pace with your neighborhood. You don't want to be the most expensive home...but you don't want to be the 'cheapest' either.
