FHA loan limits have increased! The FHA loan limits went from $304,500 to $312,800 in Salt Lake County. What dose this mean to buyers and sellers? If you buy in Salt Lake County with an FHA loan purchase price (typically putting down 3.5%) this makes your ​purchase power increase from last year approximately $8,000.

Something for Sellers to keep in mind: if you list your home for $325,000-$440,000 you are only making your home available to buyers that are able to put 5% down (this price range is above the 3.5% down FHA limit). However;  if you list at $325,000 you then add a plethora of buyers to your purchasing pool by including 5% down buyers AND 3.5% down buyers. This makes your home an option for many more buyers and your ability to sell that

A new elementary school in Daybreak's Creekside Village is anticipated to open in the fall of 2017. Construction begins in the Spring of next year. The school will be located at approximately 10200 S and Kestrel Rise Rd. The Jordan School District is also slated to build a middle school on the same plat of land in coming years. The development of these schools are exciting news for current and future Daybreak residents. Building schools is a step in the right direction for the creation of more walkable neighborhoods within the community.

What not to ask when selling your home: "What is my home worth?" or "What will my home appraise for?"  This is not the right way to understand the value of your home. An appraisal is an estimate of value or to put it more simply; one person's opinion of the value of your home. As we all know that opinion is not necessarily fact, it's important to know that there is no such thing as an absolute number that your home is worth

Here's what happened to one seller of mine. The buyer's appraisal of their home came in $70,000 below list price. Yikes! After hiring 3 different appraisers on the same house all 3 came back with very different "opinions" of value. After 2 weeks of convincing the banks, the buyers, and the REALTORS, I was able to sell the home for

Christmas time is coming! Should Santa bring your toys to a new house? If you live in a Hot Spot, you may want to send a "change of address" form to the North Pole.

Hot Spots are the areas and price ranges that are in high demand. This means that if you live in a Hot Spot, NOW is a prime time to sell your home. The inventory of homes available has been low. Historically the inventory drops even lower during the winter months. When inventory is low, homes get more attention. Homes in Hot Spots sell faster, and have a greater chance of getting good money for their home.

Every month I look at neighborhoods where homes were sold. I also look at where buyers wanted to buy last month. I call these neighborhoods Hot Spots.

In our unique market there is often a shortage of good homes. In Hot Spots homes may receive multiple offers and sell quickly. If you live in a Hot Spot, people want to live there now. It is essential to get your home on the market while the area is HOT.
