Real Estate Agent with Group1 Real Estate, selling houses in Salt Lake City Utah

There are 829 Sandy Ut,homes for sale. One hundred fifteen are condominiums according to the June 1, 2008 SLC homes for Real Estate report,

This report is a "thumbnail sketch" as my friend Jay Thompson, The Phoenix Real Estate Guy would say, of what happened over the last 30 days with homes for sale in Sandy City Utah, from statistics provided by the Wasatch Front MLS.

Sandy City Utah, homes for sale is not all It covers. The report deals with the activity of homes/condominiums available for sale during the last 30 day period.  If you are a real faithful reader of this blog, you might even pick up on a trend or two in your local market. Thats why we report monthly, sometimes even weekly .

Our goal at Group1 is to be your most dependable, accurate and timely resource for Real Estate Information in the Sandy, and around the Salt Lake Valley.

 We'll show how many homes have been added to the areas inventory, how many houses in Sandy actually sold and closed during that 30 day period,  how many new Sandy homes contracts have been written, and high, low, and median prices of those homes or condominiums.

You can also see what is happening in the Short Sale market, which some real investors use as a bell weather, indicating the health of Real Estate in An area.

Since we are using statistics from the Wasatch Front MLS, this report may not include all of the Homes For Sale By Owner (FSBOs) as most of these homes are not listed on the MLS. Those houses that are listed, will be included.

A very large number of FSBOs are eventually sold by local Realtors.

The same is true of New Homes (new construction). Most builders employ agents to staff model homes and represent the builders interest in the home or condo purchase. These homes are rarely listed across the MLS. (see buying a new home). Examples of this are the New Homes in Daybreak in South Jordan, and most of the New Construction @ Rosecrest in Herriman.

Comments on homes for sale in Sandy Utah:
 Sandy  City has nearly a years inventory of homes and condominiums to sell.nearly Not much of this inventory is of the New Home variety, as large parcels of land are difficult for builders to acquire in Sandy.. New Home Builders look for small infill properties than will support the construction of 3 or 4 new homes.
 In the mean time pre owned home sales are sluggish. Sandy offers a great selection of pre owned homes, and  our advice for someone looking to relocate either to or within Sandy City, would be to select an area that matches your objectives, select a Realtor, give the instructions, be prepared to move quickly, and then be patient.There is a great selection of homes for sale in
Sandy Utah.
