Although the housing market is in a slump - Now may still be the best time to buy in Utah. There are a record number of homes on the market in Logan and throughout Utah, and there are a lot of really good deals. It is hard to predict when the market is going to turn around - however according to an article on MSN this morning the real estate market is beginning to improve.
Here is an Excerpt from a real estate article today on MSN- Monday Oct 27, 2008
Dow Up on Good Real Estate News
"The housing market got a small dose of good news this morning amid gloom-and-doom worries about a worldwide recession.
New-home sales rose 2.7% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 464,000. Economists had expected a softer 455,000 pace last month."
(however New construction home starts are still down which is bad news for Utah home builders - there are just too many new homes on the market right now)
Here is an excerpt from the MSN article - Dated Friday Oct 24, 2008
Existing home sales are up
"One glimmer of hope this morning: Existing-home sales jumped to a 5.18 million annual rate, a 5.5% increase from August's unrevised 4.91 million annual pace, the National Association of Realtors said today.
While the sales levels are still deeply depressed from 2006 highs, the uptick shows that buyers are taking advantage of lower prices in many markets, especially in the West.
The median home price was $191,600 in September, the lowest level since April 2004 and down 9% from $210,500 a year ago. The median price in August was $203,100.
Southern California saw sales jump 65% from a year ago as prices fell 30% or more from a year ago. Most of those sales were of homes taken back by lenders in forclosures.
Based on the sales rate, the inventory of unsold homes dropped to a 9.9-month supply, down from the 10.6-month supply seen in August."

at (435) 764-7444 today! Utah New Construction
I still work closely with a number of Home Builders in Northern Utah and can help you find the right new construction contractor to meet your needs.
Many people ask why they should use a realtor when they are thinking of building a new home. As a Realtor I have connections and agreements with a number of home builders in Northern Utah and the Logan, Cache Valley area. These builders turn work over to me in exchange for a small fee (you pay nothing yet I will be helping you get the best possible deal on your new home). By comparing the different Home Builder prices and looking at the cost of existing homes at the same time I can help you effectively negotiate with the home builder and save you thousands on your new construction needs. Realtors help their clients ensure that they are not overpaying and upside down in both the new home market and the existing real estate market. If you are looking to build a home in Northern Utah, give me a call and you won't be disappointed.
About Ned Stratton:
I grew up in Edmond, WA just north of Seattle. After serving an
LDS mission I met a Utah girl and got married. We decided that Cache Valley was the greenest part of Utah and that Logan would be the
best place and cheapest place to go to college. We had never
intended on staying in Logan or Cache Valley for more than 4 years
but we learned, as most people that come here do, that Cache Valley
is a hard place to leave. For those moving to Logan area I
hope you love it here as much as me and my wife do. We have
never met anyone that doesn't love Cache Valley.
Even the few people we know that have found a way to leave Logan,
Utah have said how much they would like to come back. So after
4 years I had started my own business and we decided to find a nice
quiet area in Cache Valley to buy a home. We decided that we didn't want to
live in Logan so we looked both north up to Smithfield and south to
Hyrum and we found that we liked Hyrum the best. We still
think Hyrum is one of the best kept secrets in Cache Valley and love
the community, schools and people in Hyrum. The home buying
experience was new to us and there were a lot of problems along the
way. Our real estate agent worked hard to iron out all the
problems and get us into our house. We wouldn't have wanted to
go through the home buying without him. We bought our home 4
years ago and that is when I decided to become a real estate agent.
After real estate school I joined REMAX WEST and have called that
office home ever sense. If you are thinking of buying a home,
building a house, buying land , New
Construction, or selling your
home I would love to help you through the process, and could save
you a lot of time and money.
I had and have a great relationship with a number
of home builders in Cache Valley, so after I got my real estate license
they took me on as sort of an in house New
Construction agent.
I specialize in new builds, and New
Construction and can help you pick out the floor plans that are right for you
the land or lot that is right and in the right
price range. |
