Double Dip? - 08/26/10 12:03 PM
The National numbers are in and it looks like we have a double dip situation on our hands. January 2009 was the bottom of the market, but last months numbers show we could have another dip approaching.
Last month the United States' home sales fell to a level we haven't seen in almost 15 years! Everyone expected home sales to be a little lower, but the results were lower than anyone thought. We knew it would be low because of the expiration of the tax credit. The tax credit compressed months of demand into a short period ot time. When … (0 comments)

It's a Great Time to be Selling Homes - 08/20/10 03:31 PM
We are having FUN selling homes!

There is a degree of satisfaction that comes from closing a deal. However, the greater satisfaction comes from knowing the buyer is going to love their new home. It is a fun time to be selling homes because there are so many great deals out there.

I love being able to find beautiful homes for my buyers. One of our clients just got a steal of a deal on their new home. For approximately $1400 a month they get to live in their dream home:

4 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
3,436 square feet
.20 … (1 comments)

Coming Changes Can Cost Buyers $7,000 - 08/17/10 06:10 PM
A few months ago I reported on some possible changes coming from Washington D.C. The wait is over and Change is approved!
The Senate has approved changes in FHA financing that will reduce the upfront costs of an FHA loan, but increase the monthly payment for mortgage insurance. The official statement points at 'perilously low' reserves as their reasoning for making the change.
The changes will go into effect October 4th, 2010.
Here is how it is right now:
If you were to get a $200,000 FHA Mortgage...
The upfront Mortgage Insurance Premium would be $4,500 (2.25% … (0 comments)

How to Lower your Property Taxes - 08/05/10 04:28 PM
In July and August you will be receiving your property valuation notice. This notice declares what the county assessor determines is the market value of your home as of January 1st. Your property taxes will be based on this valuation. If you disagree with the result of the valuation, you only have until September 15th to send an appeal. While you cannot appeal how much you will be taxed, you can disagree with what they claim your home is worth.

Here are the steps to submitting an appeal:
Step #1: Determine the value of your property
Examine … (0 comments)

Crazy Hail Storm in South Jordan - 08/05/10 12:07 PM
I was quietly sitting in my office when I heard a loud thud. It was followed shortly afterwards by another thud. I thought one of my employees was knocking, so I got up to see what was going on. The thuds increased in frequency until we were engulfed in a deafening roar as these large hail stones pelted our building. I recorded a few minutes of it on my new VEO phone. The hail stones were larger than a Nickel!

 
These photos were taken in Herriman by my sister- in-law of the hail in their area:

August Hot Spots Highlight Larger Homes - 08/03/10 01:41 PM
We have seen a shift in the successful sales spots across the state. Now that the first-time home buyer incentive has expired the more luxurious homes are selling. 80% of the top 20 selling areas last month were homes over $300,000. Of these homes, more than 30% are over $500,000!
The current interest rates make these homes excellent to buy right now. Lower interest rates mean that you have more buying power. Combined with decreased home prices these homes are amazing deals right now.
Utah’s Hot Spots are the zip codes and prices ranges that had the most demand … (0 comments)
