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…

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…

Some agents offer to sell your home at a discounted rate or for a flat fee. Why do they do this? It's to build up their experience. We all know that the best experience comes from making mistakes. In essence they are admitting that they are likely to make mistakes while marketing your home, and they are paying you for the experience they will gain from those mistakes. These mistakes can range from limited real estate knowledge to misunderstandings about technology.

One of the most common mistakes I see is with a listings photos. The MLS is a great service and uploading good pictures of your home will ensure that a lot of people can see it. In addition to the MLS many websites import the photos and information to their website for increased exposure.…

Just this morning I saw about 4 new properties hit the market. All 4 of them broke the new digital age rule of marketing homes for sale.

What happened?  I got an email of a new listing and went to click on the details and it had 0 photos.

What usually happens? My buyers tell me they skip over it, don't even put it on their list of homes to see. Others try to save it for later in case photos are posted in a few days. Then it gets lost through the shuffle of other homes just listed.

The Numero uno rule for marketing a home online is to have professional photos taken before you list the home. These photos need to be posted right when the home is listed. Most emails, alerts, and notifications go out to buyers immediately. If there are no photos,…
