This weekend UTA debuted the new light rail vehicles that will be used on the Mid-Jordan TRAX line. They are curerntly being tested on the newly completed portion of the line in Daybreak.

The Home Run Grant

The Home Run Grant started March 19th and has been helping people purchase new homes for over a month. As banks become more familiar with the process, it is becoming easier to get this free money. There have been 530 people who have used the free $6,000 so far. 312 of those purchased homes in March and 219 have purchased homes in the first two weeks of April.

South Jordan is leading the way in taking advantage of this grant. The UtahDave team is local so we can find the best properties that qualify for the grant.

Here’s a table of the top 10 selling locations…

Taking Advantage:

Look back at when the stock market crashed. Did you know Amazon stock was selling for about $5 a share. Today when the market improved….Amazon sells for appx $90. So when would be the best time to buy the stock. When the market was good or when the market was “bad.” Yes, it would have been when the market was bad and the good time to sell was when the market was good. If you take this approach you can learn how to take advantage of when to buy.

South Jordan has had 9 homes sell in the past 3 months. Currently there are 12 homes on the…
