Surprised... I thought you might be. Here are a few thinks that back me up.
Utah States is 20-1 tied with Oklahoma for the best record in the country. They are also the only teams with over 20 wins this already this season. Utah State has the longest winning streak in the country at 15 and the second longest home winning streak. USU has reached the 20-win mark for the 10 consecutive season, has been to the postseason nine years in a row and is one of only three teams … (3 comments)
utah: The Logan, Utah housing market is ready to Rebound
- 01/13/09 06:20 AM
I was comparing 2008 4th quarter sales to the 4th quarter sales in 2007 in Cache County, Utah. I was surprised to see that the Average Sale Price only dropped 1.16%. I thought it would have been a larger drop then that. I think we will continue to see the average price drop at about the same rate going into the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2009. There were 20.8% fewer homes sold and the days on the market were 48% higher, 60 days in '07 to 89 days in ‘08. The good news is that the number of new homes … (0 comments)
I received the Providence City news letter this week. One part of the Mayors Message was wonderful to read. It said," You may have read about how cities across the country are facing serious financial problems. Providence City is not one of them. This year's budget was created in anticipation of reduced revenues and we are operation within that budget. We are also monitoring revenues closely so if there is an unanticipated shortfall, we can react quickly". Many of us have had to make cut backs and curb our spending as our incomes has decreased. It seems many … (1 comments)
What do you do when there is only one school in the county that is undefeated, but they have no chance at a national title? Florida and Oklahoma will play for the national title, but they both have one loss. Is that fair? Should there be a split National Champion this year. I say a Espn poll befroe the game that said 89% of those who voted thought Alabama would win. I'm sure many were surprised to see how good Utah was. TCU and New Mexico both played Utah better then … (2 comments)
I was nominated for the Good Neighbor Award in the Cach-Rich Association of Realtors®. The person that nominated me asked if I would write a letter explaining how I got involved with the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation and what I do. This is the letter I wrote. I thought some of you might like to see it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ When my son, Bennett, was born in 2003 with Down Syndrome we found that there was no support system from other families with Down Syndrome children in Logan. Through the Up 2-3 (the early intervention program at Utah State University) we … (1 comments)

utah: Utah is #1 in states' growth.
- 12/23/08 02:50 PM
I read an article in the Deseret News this morning that said according to the Census Bureau Utah has the fastest growth rate in the US. Utah's population grew by 2.5% from July 2007 to July 2008. Arizona (2.3%), Texas (2%), North Carolina (2%) and Colorado (2%) round out the top 5. Utah's population grew by 67,449 people to a total of 2.74 million. Of the new increase 43,212 people were from "natural increase" (births - deaths). The other 24,428 people immigrated to Utah, 17,605 from other states, and 528 from other countries. The good news for Utah Realtors is that … (4 comments)
I saw this "new" home for sale in Logan, Utah couple of days ago. It looked like a house that I had showed a few months ago. When I click on the Tax ID to get the history it shows it is a new listing that has never been on the MLS before. When I look into it a bit more I found out that it is the same house I had show, and it has been on the market for over a year. It looks like the listing agent changed the Tax ID so that you can't see how … (14 comments)
utah: Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!
- 12/22/08 04:28 AM
What a wonderful time of the year. I love the snow. This has been a great week of weather, and it looks like it will keep coming. My daughter and I shoveled the drive way while the dog and cat played in the snow.
Cache Valley is a wonderful place to live. I love the open space. I like to deer that visit my back yard, except when they eat my tulips in the spring. I love that I can be boarding at Beaver Mountain within 40 min. of leaving my house. So, Let it snow, let it snow, … (2 comments)
utah: Where to put Utah.
- 12/18/08 05:58 AM
Yesterday I was looking for a group that I could ask a couple of Utah specific questions to. In activerain there are 4991 groups as of today. The US is divided into 5 Regional Areas. The SW US, SE US, NW US, NE US and Mid US. I know my geography well enough to know that Utah is in the West, but the Southwest, or the Northwest? I searched both regions to find a Utah group, but was not able to so I started one. The problem was I wasn't sure were to put it. Southern Utah seems like it would fit in the Southwest … (1 comments)
utah: Why is today the best day to buy a home?
- 12/18/08 02:16 AM
This morning my favorite lender gave me a call and told me that 30 year conventional fixed rates just dropped to 4.625 % (rates have bounced up a little, they are 4.75% as I type). I picked up the phone and started calling and texting everyone in my database to let them know this great news. One client that I have been looking at homes with for about 4 months asked why I was so excited about the rates. This article is what I explained to her, and I thought you might like to know what I told her. … (0 comments)
