How Do You Know Which Real Estate Agent Has Better Marketing and Results? 

 

If you bump into any real estate agent, they are bound to tell you how good the market is today, and how they have sold homes in day or so. Maybe even a friend or neighbor will tell you their own story.  Even in a great market your results from your home sale differ though! 

The difference may be in price, concessions, inspection negotiations, days on market, if there are appraisal or loan issues or even in just handling the overall transaction smoothly.  Some of these differences will go by unnoticed to the seller.  So how do you really know you are going to get the best results?  In Daybreak there have been 461 new homes listed on the market.  Only 181 have sold so…

Daybreak, one of the most distinct planned communities in all of Utah, has dedicated itself to being an enduring community in the Salt Lake Valley.  Kennecott is doing this by building Daybreak in a way that will ensure future generations have the opportunity to enjoy a great neighborhood, beautiful land, abundant water, and clean air.

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.

DCCThe 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…
