…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).

After 2 weeks of convincing the banks, the buyers, and the REALTORS, I was able to sell the home for

Reactive:
Your seller calls you first. Your seller calls you for fliers, calls you for updates on showings, and calls you if you are going to do a price drop. They also call you to see what is going on. You tell them Im sorry ive just been busy, the market is crazy and Ill get back to you right away.
(What do they end up thinking? That they have to babysit you!)
The Loan officer that is reactive:
You call the loan officer and ask them if they have appraiser...the loan officer is hard to get a hold of, you are constantly calling them and asking them if its in underwriting if docs are available, etc.
(What do you end up thinking? That you have to babysit the loan officer.)
