cedar city foreclosures: Utah Economic Outlook Getting Better
- 12/22/09 12:36 PM
I receive The "Insight" Economic News of Utah and the Nation. I read in Vol. 13 No.1 today that Utah economy is expected to continue its transition from a painful recession to modest economic growth. That would be in line with the slow improvement in a majority of the nation's states. I believe that is true.
Our own Iron County experienced a 12.11% rise in the average price of homes sold in 3rd quarter over 2nd and a 34.59% increase in the number of sold homes in this same period of time. That is a great sign for the housing market … (2 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: Real Estate News Goes Back and Forth and Stays the Same.
- 12/19/09 07:59 AM
I received a report from a local lender saying that the Fed says the economy is slowly improving and that the housing sector is a little better. Doesn't that sound like much the same story as we've heard for awhile on the national level?
In the Cedar City, Utah, area, the real estate market seems to be showing signs of improvement. We are still unsure how the foreclosures will affect our market. How are other areas of the country?
Either way, I do believe 2010 is a good time to add real estate to your investment portfolio. It's also a great … (0 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: Is There Anyway to Bring On The Sunshine and Keep The Glittering Snow?
- 12/09/09 04:53 AM
Cedar City, Utah, is a wonderland of snow for a short time, and then it melts in our glistening sunshine. My children used to take their coats to school and forget them in their locker because it would seem warm in the sun when they came home. Cedar City is a good place to call home because we have so many sun- shiney days. After living in the rainy state of Oregon for 7 years, I do really appreciate the sun!
The sunshine is a good thing, and I'm happy to see the snow leave the roads. I was a little sad this … (1 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: Reading Real Estate Blogs on Active Rain Has Really Caught My Time! It's Fun!
- 11/24/09 11:53 AM
If I blog, I'm giving up some important aspect of my time that I really can't do without, but I believe it's of great importance to enter the new world in which I've lived for over 60 years and sometimes don't even recognize! The fact that I blog is proof that impossible things can happen every day!
Now I've added reading other people's blogs to my life! I don't know where it can possible squeeze into my fully packed day, but I'm there. It's amazing what I've learned. Today I toured subdivisions with the Cannon team. There are lots of beautiful … (1 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: R U Happy About The Tax Credit Extension and Addition For Home Owners?
- 11/16/09 01:02 PM
I've heard lots of controversy on both sides for and against the up to $8,000 tax credit extension for home buyers who haven't owned a home in the last 3 years. Back and forth; back and forth! I've also heard pros and cons for the addition of current home owners who have owned their home 5 out of the last 8 years. How about you? What do you think? Let's vote! For? Against?
I figure it really doesn't matter whether I agree thoroughly or don't agree at all. It's here.
I just hope buyers don't wait until the last minute to take advantage of … (2 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: Cedar City, Utah, Real Estate Buyers: Ask About $6500 and $8000!
- 11/06/09 01:26 PM
Official word! $6500 tax credit expansion for buyers who have owned a home 5 out of the last 8 years that meet the criteris! I did think it was a little unfair that they should be left out of the benefits for buyers! What about you? How do you feel about the extension and expansion?
The $8,000 extension will help some of the buyers who thought they could close by November 30 but who have just had the startling news that a delay in the appraisal or some other part of the loan process has occurred (not unusual in this market)!

cedar city foreclosures: Let It Snow! I love Cedar City's Four Seasons and Owning Real Estate Here!
- 10/28/09 04:34 AM
Last night we picked apples from our beautiful tree and felt grateful for a good harvest this year. The fall air was crisp. We woke up this morning to snow on the ground in a winter-wonderland. The transition was a wake-up call that temperatures and weather can be quick-change artists in the Cedar City, Utah, real estate area!
No matter what the weather, it's a great day to look at homes and get one under contract before it's too late to get the $8,000 tax credit. Agreed? Speaking of weather, we hear rumors in the wind that the $8,000 tax credit will be extended. I'd love … (1 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: Have You Tried Meditation To Make It Through Real Estate Stress?
- 10/22/09 04:59 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?

cedar city foreclosures: Do You Believe? Our Heavenly Home Buyer Just Topped It Off With Lunch!
- 10/20/09 12:18 PM
Do you remember my blog telling you about the unbelieveably heavenly buyer that just closed on her dream home with me and my team recently? She was thrilled and actually appreciated all our hard work and everything we did to help her. I wouldn't have believed that she could be any more "practically perfect in every way" than she was already. Then she brought in chips, cookies and a huge tray of sandwiches this week! Normally, we're the ones that give the thank you gifts! I just want all of you real estate agents out there to realize that there are still really wonderful … (1 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: Cedar City, Utah, Real Estate Short Sale Blues
- 10/13/09 12:55 PM
Hopefully, none of our Cedar City, UT, real estate short sales have come to the point that is mentioned in a recent news article! The article was titled, "Banks Going After Short Sale Owners." Has anyone heard of this actually happening to your sellers? I do short sales, but I tell them to make sure their bank is not going to come after them for a deficiency and to check accountant for tax problems and lawyer for legal problems. Anyone had any problems?

cedar city foreclosures: Now That I Blog On Active Rain.Com, Am I safe to stop pay per click ads?
- 10/09/09 02:40 PM
I got a phone call awhile back saying that I could earn lots of money by clicking just 15 minutes a day. I said no and that it sounded illegal to me! I was told it was not illegal and very lucrative! I still said no. I have been wondering ever since if someone could be clicking on mine! If so, I am paying for making someone else rich, but it is doing me no good at all.
I keep paying my $220 per month because I'm afraid to do anything that might limit the buyers in this market where buyers are … (1 comments)

- 10/06/09 01:30 PM
I just received the Utah Association of REALTORS 2009 2nd quarter market statistics--quarterly comparison. Wow! We are doing well in Iron County!

For condos and townhomes, we sold 25 last quarter and 35 this quarter which is a 40% increase in real estate sales mostly in Cedar City, Utah, but also in outlying areas in the entire county!
I can't wait to see 3rd quarter statistics because our market seems to be bustling … (0 comments)

cedar city foreclosures: What Reallty Counts Is Honesty In The Real Estate Industry From All!
- 09/29/09 02:38 PM
I have just been reading some of the blog comments from you fine real estate agents on Active Rain! Some of them made me want to confirm that when all is said and done, the most important part of every transaction is honesty from the buyer, seller and real estate agents. Without it, we might as well find a new place to work!
I would say that "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," would apply to all concerned here. We need to start caring for each other in this world starting now. What do you think?

cedar city foreclosures: Are You Letting The Clock Tick Away Your $8,000 In Free Tax Credit Money?
- 09/16/09 01:00 PM
$8,000 is a lot of money to pass up! It's like getting a bonus and throwing it in the trash! You will have to act now to get your home under contract in order to close by the end of November. Some people think it is the end of the year, but that is not true. If you have not owned a home in the last 3 years and if you meet the criteria, that money could really be yours. Please call today for details and start searching for your very own home!
If the home you pick also happens to be new … (2 comments)
