Highland; Current Market Conditions

By
Real Estate Agent 5660894-PB00

We need Positive Price Action to confirm market bottom.  One month of price improve isn't sufficient to confirm the market bottom.  We need to see appreciation month over month for three months.

PRICE ACTION

 Highland

 

 Other good signs in addition to positive price action is lower DOM (days of the market), lower new listingsand higher percent of new listings being SOLD.  

SUMMARY

Has the Utah Real Estate Market bottomed?

Currently we are not seeing the needed positive price action (along with other indicators) to confirm a market bottom.  We are seeing more signs of a bottom coming into play.

Investors with a long term buy and hold strategic.  Opportunities are making sense.  Contact your property resource specialist for information to make an informed buying decision.

Owner/occupied homeowners need to look at the cost to own versus the cost to rent.  Buying is making sense for many, as we continue to see signs of the market bottoming and with the current cost of money. 

You need consultant a resource specialist for information to make an informed buying decision. 

High and medium risk tolerant investors and some homeowners are making buying decisions

Low risk tolerant buyer -- with the bottoming signs in play.  If your waiting for a market bottom to buy.  You'll most likely miss it. 

No risk tolerance buyers will most likely always be renters.  That's ok.  Investors will always need good renters to make their mortgage payments for them.

risk

Some are trying to time the market and market timing is risky.  Trying to time the bottom is not for the inexperienced buyer and extremely difficult. 

Those waiting for a market bottom confirmation will (almost always) miss the bottom.  This is because confirming factors are lagging indicators.
