I spoke to an appraiser in our area recently who says it's too soon to tell, but he's seeing some good signs. He watches the Notices of Default constantly and the foreclosures as they come on the market. He mentioned that it seems to him that the homes being foreclosed now on average are not qu

I was talking to a buyer recently who was looking for a lease option. Since there are many homes on the market such as foreclosures, short sales, bargains, new construction, etc., and only a very few who will consider lease options, I asked why this buyer wanted to wait to buy. I was told that

I was just talking to some of the real estate agents in our office about whether we are taking Presidents day off of our real estate selling time schedule. Of course, it's a given that we'll be taking Valentines Day off because that's Sunday. Cedar City people like to take Sundays off for a day

I believe I blogged awhile back about how excited I am that more homes sold in Cedar City in 2009 than in 2008. I just received the Utah Association of REALTORS 2009 Fourth Quarter Market Statistics--Year-Over-Year Comparison. Iron County statistics show that in 4th quarter of 2008, only 115 ho
