According to the Milken Institute Provo-Orem has been rated the #1 Metro area for job growth in the entire USA.  That is great, the economy here is slowing just like it is all around the US, but it is nice to see that Provo/Orem is still creating jobs and having people move into the area.  Provo-Orem is followed by Raleigh-Cary, NC (follow the link to read about it from my friend Tracy), Salt Lake City, UT, Austin-Roundrock, TX, with Huntsville, AL rounding out the top 5. 

Utah has 2 of the top 5 places people are moving to to look for jobs in the country, and I am excited by the possibilities. With the continued job growth, the real-estate market is beginning to pick up, and homes are being sold. Right now rates are tremendous, and are expected to get better in the next few months.  If you are thinking about moving to Utah, please give me a call before you talk to a Real Estate Agent, being pre-approved for a loan now is more important than ever, since credit standards are tight, it is better to know exactly what you need to do to buy the home of your dreams rather than waste a lot of your time looking at things you cannot qualify for. 

Contact me and let me submit your loan for a no cost pre-approval.
