Low Mortgage Rates Benefit Sellers and Buyers

Mortgage Interest rates are very low which means more buyers can qualify for loans.  If interest rates rise a seller's home will have fewer buyers who will qualify.  Make sure you price your home properly because the first week of a listing attracts the highest number of pre-qualified buyers who are just waiting for pounce on new listings.  This often creates multiple offers for the seller to choose from.

Government Programs to Help Homebuyers
Federal, State and local government agencies have homebuyer assistance programs that are constantly changing, so please call or email if you would like me to send you more details that may apply to your individual situation.

Wasatch Front Real Estate Market Analysis

In spite of the fact that Utah real estate inventory (Active listings) continues to increase, the average single family home sold prices in Salt Lake County are holding better than most other states. Many local buyers are taking advantage of lower interest rates plus federal and community incentive programs.   Utah's economy is strong and Utah's population is growing due to higher than average birth rates and a net  influx of residents relocating from other states.  The bottom line is that it's a good time to buy because interest rates are low and you have more properties to choose from.  It's also a good time to sell because low interest rates results in more buyers who can afford the lower payments to buy your home. Other overpriced listings make your properly positioned home look like a real bargain.  If you would like a real estate market report and a list of homes that sold in your city, please email me at mailto:obateman@hotmail.com
