Over the last several years there have been many questions in regards to development of the adjacent land to the Daybreak Community Center (DCC). Now that the Daybreak Community Association (HOA) is purchasing the DCC many residents wonder if the land will be used for an outdoor pool as previously discussed.

The DCC was constructed by Kennecott Land back in 2004 when the community was established. The plan was that as the community matured and the HOA stabalized, then the DCC would transfer from Kennecot Land into the hands of the HOA. There is enough land to build a swimming pool on about a third of the 1 acres site adjacent to the DCC. However; with the repercussions of the recession the plans for a pool were put on hold until the economy recovered.

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

Daybreak homes make up one the fastest growing communities in the Salt Lake Valley. The U.S. Census declared South Jordan, Utah, to be the second-fastest growing city in its class in the nation. And Daybreak homes constitute one out of every six new homes sold in the Salt Lake Valley.

As a result, our neighborhood is growing quickly: The master-planned Daybreak homes community is on track to double the population of South Jordan, which stood at just over 51,000 at the end of 2014. According to the master plan, when completed, the Daybreak community will include more than 20,000 homes and more than 9 million square feet of commercial space.
