FHA Loans and the Impact of Purchasing Power and Purchasing Pools

Posted by Help Now on December 14th, 2015

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…

South Jordan homes Values: Today's Value and Next Year's Forecast

Posted by Help Now on October 9th, 2015

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…

Why You Should Work With a Realtor

Posted by Help Now on January 13th, 2014

When the time is right to buy or sell your home, I would love to assist you. Here are some of the advantages to working with a realtor.

Not all real estate practitioners are Realtors.The term Realtor is a registered trademark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. Here are five reasons why it pays to work with a Realtor.  

1. You’ll have an expert to guide you through the process. Buying or selling a home usually requires disclosure forms, inspection reports, mortgage documents, insurance policies, deeds, and multi-page settlement statements. A Realtor is a knowledgeable expert that will help you prepare the best deal and avoid delays or costly…

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Realtor

Posted by Help Now on December 2nd, 2013

An important part of buying or selling a home is picking a Realtor who can provide you with the service you need. Here is a list of considerations you should make before you decide on a Realtor. Make sure you choose a Realtor who will provide top-notch service and meet your unique needs.

1. How long have you been in residential real estate sales? Is it your full-time job? While experience is no guarantee of skill, real estate — like many other professions — is mostly learned on the job.

2. What designations do you hold? Designations such as GRI and CRS® — which require that agents take additional, specialized real estate training — are held by only about one-quarter of real estate practitioners.

3. How many homes did you and your real estate…

So Many Homes to See, But Nothing to Buy

Posted by Help Now on October 27th, 2010

I have met with a lot of home buyers lately who "can't make up their mind". They tell me that the more homes they see, the further they get from finding their dream home. Surprisingly, this is exactly what is happening. As an agent it is my job to prevent this from happening to my clients. I love working with these homes buyers, they have great talents. While some agents become frustrated, I recognize your talents as a great opportunity.   If you are one of "those" buyers, it is important for your agent to realize that your need for information is a talent! You have a talent for avoiding risk by researching. We have a tool for identifying our buyer's talents and needs. Early studies have shown that this assessment identifies which neural…

Vital Info About 2009 and Opportunities for 2010

Posted by Help Now on January 4th, 2010

How was 2009 compared to 2008? Have we bottomed out? Where is 2010 headed?

The number of homes sold for 2008 across the Wasatch Front was 22,766. The numbers for 2009 are still rolling in but so far, the number of homes sold in 2009 is 22,744. When all the statistics are in the total number of homes sold in Salt Lake County will be at least the same as 2008 and likely higher. Utah County has increased sales over 10% mainly due to the availability of affordable housing, an increased supply of foreclosures and short sales, and 100% financing in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain areas. All of this data means that the number of homes sold has bottomed out! We are now seeing an increase in sales overall.

UtahDave's sales statistics went up 50% from…
