new construction: Closed Home Sales Up; Median Price Up; Inventory Down!
- 01/15/13 11:15 AM
What are buyers waiting for? I believe the real estate market has already turned around in the Iron County area for median price homes. Recent UAR statistics seem to indicate that it would have been better to purchase a few months back. It may be a little late to go back in time, but I believe this is a great time to get a fantastic deal on your home while many bargains can still be found and interest rates are so low that monthly payments can be low and less than rent in many cases.
Buyers in our real estate market … (1 comments)

new construction: YES! Homes Sell Even When The Holidays And Icy Weather Are Here!
- 12/11/12 07:12 AM
Contrary to popular opinion, winter is a good time to sell your home!
It has been my experience in the last 28 years that many homes have sold during wintertime, making both buyers and sellers happy with their successful real estate moves.
Luckily, no one told me to stop listing and selling real estate just because it was cold outside. I was thrilled when I got my picture in the local newspaper as a top producer toward the end of my first year as a real estate agent in 1984. Happily, gratefully and successfully, I have continued to work hard in all seasons for many years.
Buyers touring homes in wintertime are serious. They … (1 comments)

- 10/11/12 01:31 PM
"Who buys in the fall?" "The Fall Selling Season" survey completed by ERA Real Estate shows that "The higher ratio goes to first-time homebuyers and childless couples" at 27%. The rest of the pie is divided as follows with 20% being Move-up buyers, 17% Downsizing & Retiring Buyers, 14% investors, 11% Military relocations, 6% Vacation buyers and 5% other.
The article says, "Blame it on the traditional school year engraved in our minds since childhood, but many people see Labor Day as the beginning of a new year. Summer holidays are over and everyone goes back to school or buckles down … (0 comments)

new construction: Reports Of Improved Real Estate Market for 2011 Are Surfacing!
- 01/05/11 07:36 AM
In our weekly Cedar City, Utah, ERA Realty Center office meeting this morning we discussed the real estate market and home sales. Several agents mentioned reports that the real estate market was expected to be improved for 2011 as compared to 2010. I believe it. This is certainly our experience so far! We are very busy with the type of work that generates closings--that's the kind we like!
We are looking forward to a great new year for real estate and the economy! How about you in your area?

new construction: Some REALTORS Just Don't Know When To Quit! I Mean Me! It's Bedtime!
- 02/23/10 04:50 PM
It's nearly midnight in Cedar City, Utah, which is on Mountain Time! You'd think I'd be asleep already at least an hour ago. No! Not me! I'm in here blogging again. Why? I couldn't resist! Does this mean I've become addicted to blogging?
It is kind of fun to just put down your thoughts. You don't even know if anyone will read them or not, but you still blog. Maybe it's like a journal which is a good thing except everyone in the world could possible read it. Right?
It's been a busy day and a profitable one. I even went … (7 comments)

new construction: Did You Take Valentines Day and Presidents Day Off?
- 02/16/10 03:44 PM
Since Valentines Day was Sunday, I took it off! Once again, that's one of my favorite commandments to rest one day out of seven. It was wonderful to spend the day celebrating love by going to Church and spending time with my husband. I called the children the day before because I wanted them to have time with their families on Valentines Day. I talked to Mom and my sisters. It was a beautiful day celebrating love, friendship and families in the peaceful, restful and reverant atmosphere of Church and home. My dear husband and I even shared a book about love that he … (5 comments)

new construction: Cedar City REALTORs Sold More Homes In 2009, But Market Prices Dipped!
- 01/26/10 04:46 PM
I hope and pray that prices don't dip anymore! I keep thinking that for sure this is the bottom. Then prices dive again. Then I find myself thinking again that this has got to be the bottom. I really believe we have hit bottom, and the only way to go is up. Don't you agree?
One thing this real estate market has taught me is that no one can predict the top or bottom of any market. That's why I'm hanging onto my real estate! I know it will go back up again; and in the meantime, I still have my real estate! It … (3 comments)

new construction: Cedar City, Utah, Real Estate Update! Hard Work, Dreams & Love Win!
- 01/16/10 01:15 PM
I went to see The Princess and The Frog today with 2 adorable grandchildren and their grandfather! As their grandmother, I actually thought valuable lessons were taught that applied to real life including real estate! Without ruining the story-line for you, I will just say that you must not just dream, but you must work hard to make the dream come true. I also loved the lesson that you must never lose sight of what is really important while your are working toward your goals and dreams. There's more to that movie in my opinion than just a simple cartoon.

- 01/11/10 07:01 AM
I sent a blog on Saturday commenting on what a busy and productive week it had been. I got a blog back from an agent saying he didn't know if the word "busy" could be used any more in conjunction with real estate. i can't resist commenting that I have been in the real estate business for over 26 yeaars, and I have always been busy and still am. In fact, I have 3 licensed assistants plus my husband helping me, and we're all busy! My assitants and I are all working overtime to keep up with the workload.

new construction: Another Busy Day For Real Estate In Cedar City, Utah!
- 12/05/09 11:27 AM
Life is great--cold but great! My assistant, Matt, and I both worked hard today! Looking at homes for sale can be really fun in Cedar City, Utah as long as you have a warm coat and gloves! Homes are selling, and there is probably still time to be in yours before Christmas if you hurry!
Wouldn't you have a wonderful feeling if you were to open Chistmas presents in your own living room? There are not as many buyers this time of year, and there is a great selection of homes from which to choose. Check out the listings of homes available on www.homesincedarcity.com … (0 comments)

new construction: What Causes A Real Estate Agent To Be a Featured Blog On Active Rain?
- 11/21/09 09:40 AM
I was reading through the featured articles this afternoon and suddenly realized I was having fun and learning! Then I thought, "There must be thousands of real estate blogs on Active Rain." Right? How do they get there?
I realize I'm a newcomer to blogging and honestly a newcomer to the world of technology. Being in my 60's doesn't lend intself to having grown up in the computer world! We didn't even get a TV until the end of the 50's at my home. Weren't they invented in 1954? To make a long story short, I'm really wondering who picks the … (3 comments)

new construction: Watching Leaves Fall While Being Grateful For America & Those Who've Served
- 11/11/09 08:10 AM
I hiked for 2 1/2 hours in Zions National Park yesterday with my daughter-in-law, Becky. We had an absolutely perfect day! The weather was just right, and the sky was blue. We didn't even need sweaters! We ate in the Zions Lodge while looking out of their huge glass windows at the autumn leaves slowing floating to the ground. It was wonderful therapy to be with someone that I truly love while enjoying such majestic scenery and peace. My sense of calm and gratitude for such a breath-takingly beautiful place is still with me today. It felt warm and fuzzy and wonderful!

- 11/02/09 06:06 AM
Trick or treaters have gone and somehow November rushed in to take its place! I love November and Thanksgiving and couldn't help but feel joyful as I crunched leaves walking to the office this morning! I love crunching leaves! Just a few days ago I was thinking how much fun it is to crunch snow! Soon, I'll enjoy breaking layers of thin ice! I do love the 4 seasons we enjoy here in Cedar City, Utah.
Speaking of time, It's a great time to buy real estate while there is a crisp, cool feeling in the air! Interest rates are low and so are prices. Great … (1 comments)

new construction: Do We Or Don't We Have An Extension For the $8,000 Tax Credit For Homes?
- 10/30/09 11:58 AM
What about the extension for the up to $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers? Do we have it for sure? I keep hearing we do, and then I hear we don't. Then I hear we almost do. My mom taught me a miss is as good as a mile, so I still have no idea. Please tell me; who knows?
If we have it or get it, my concern is that people will think they can wait to buy until next April 2010. Right now there are people scrambling to buy to meet the end of November deadline. Some will … (1 comments)

new construction: 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)

- 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?

- 10/08/09 05:14 PM
What am I doing here at this time of night? Today Donna Christensen, an excellent REALTOR in our ERA office, asked me if all I do is work. I answered, "That's pretty much all I do!" I really do want a life, but I don't know how to find it in the real estate world.
My dad was a real estate broker in Bountiful, Utah. He gave me some good advice which is, "Give good hard, honest service, and you'll do just fine!" The advice he gave me that I wish I could figure out how not to follow is, "You … (6 comments)

new construction: To Have Government Incentives Or Not To Have Government Incentives?
- 09/22/09 09:28 AM
That is the question! So many in this real estate market believe that we need the incentives to keep the real estate market moving. I'm thinking it moved before, why can't it move again? Did the population stop growing? Are people living in tents and RV's? If there is an incentive and then suddenly there is no incentive, what then? What is on the other side of the incentive? Think! Can incentives go on for ever? Where is the ATM that will provide all this money?
What are your thoughts on this question? Please email naisbitt@infowest.com to discuss. i'd love to … (4 comments)
