The House Passes The New Tax Credit Extension For Payson, Utah And The Rest Of The Country.

Friday, November 6th, 2009
I felt like this was worth a second look at, The New Tax Credit extension for Payson, Utah and the rest of the country, the news just keeps getting better. Lets just keep beating this dead horse, we might just get lucky and revive him.WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (UPI) — The U.S. House Tuesday approved legislation that would extend unemployment benefits and expand an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers.

The tax credit is scheduled to expire Nov. 30. The bill would extend it to apply to home purchases under contract before May 1, 2010.

The tax credit is attached to a bill that would extend unemployment benefits by up to 20 weeks for people who have been out of work for long periods. Unemployment reached a 26-year high of 9.8 percent in September, and the latest figures are to be released Friday.

The Senate could vote on its version of the measure as early as Wednesday night and the House could take it up for final approval this week, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The measure approved by the House Tuesday would expand the homebuyer tax credit to apply to people who have owned a home for at least five years. They could get a $6,500 tax credit on the purchase of a new home.

Income restrictions would be relaxed, meaning more people could take advantage of the program.

The extension and expansion of the tax credit would cost an estimated $11 billion in addition to the $10 billion that has been spent on the existing homebuyer tax credit.

Some Interesting Facts About Our Real Estate Market In Payson, Utah.

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

You hear everyday how bad the Real Estate Market is, so I decided that I wanted to see for myself and then share my results with my readers. I went to the (WFRMLS)  Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service’s web-site and then the fun began. My biggest decision was how far back and what areas do I want to look at, the areas I chose were a no brainer since I do the majority of my work in Payson, Utah and little bits here and there around Utah County. Now as I mentioned earlier I got my info from the (WFRMLS) and these numbers do not reflect the homes sold (For Sale By Owner). Well now to the questio of how far back do I go, I have been in Real Estate for going on 6 years now plus the (WFRMLS) only goes back so far so I went back to 2005 up to present. These numbers include Single Family, Condos and Town Homes. So now that I have laid out the ground rules, lets get down to the TRUE HONEST TO GOODNESS FACTS.

In Utah County in 2005 there were 6,793 homes sold and out of those 6,793 there were 393 homes sold in Payson, Utah.

In Utah County in 2006 there were 7,513 homes sold and out of those 7,513 there were 399 homes sold in Payson, Utah.

In Utah County in 2007 there were 5,933 homes sold and out of those 5,933 there were 292 homes sold in Payson, Utah. (GOING DOWN).

In Utah County in 2008 there were 4,568 homes sold and out of those 4,568 there were 189 homes sold in Payson, Utah. (AT THE BOTTOM).

Alright are you ready for these numbers? HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS!!!!

In Utah County from January 1, 2009 up to October 29, 2009 there has been 4,194 homes sold and there are currently 1,070 homes under contract and we still have 2 more months to go. I am projecting that by the end of 2009 there will have been approximately 5,600 homes sold in Utah County for 2009. (WE ARE MOVING ON UP).

Now out of those 4,194 homes sold in Utah County 131 were sold in Payson, Utah from January 1, 2009 up to October 29, 2009. There are currently 39 homes under contract in Payson, Utah and again we still have 2 more months to go. I am projecting that by the end of 2009 there will have been approximately 200 homes sold in Payson, Utah. (YEEE HAAA I THINK I CAN SEE THE END OF THE RAINBOW) or just winter coming on!!!!

Again remember that none of these numbers reflect the homes that were sold by (For Sale By Owner) and I am not a betting man so please don’t hold me to my projections. Now that you have seen these numbers with your own eyes, you decide what you think the Real Estate Market is doing in Utah County and Payson, Utah. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Mistakes made by home owners when Selling Real Estate in Payson Utah

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Some mistakes often made by home owners when pricing their home to sell are as follows:

1. Home owners tend to allow emotional attachment cloud their judgment when pricing their home. Remove all emotion from the sell and look at it as just another Real Estate transaction. (I know, not so easy sometimes).

2. Thinking that since you added  or upgraded some items in the home, that you will get back what you put into it. Unfortunately it does not work that way, appraisers will usually only give you a fraction of the cost of the addition or upgrade in his/her appraisal report. (Stinks don’t it).

3. Okay, I would say that this is the worst of all. Pricing the home to high. Seller’s think if they price their home a little high, that will compensate for low offers. Pricing your home to high is like competing in a 100 yard race and giving your opponents (Other home Sellers) a 50 yard head start. You will be constantly chasing your competition (Other Home Sellers) & (Chasing the Market Down) and not only will you lose the race but you could actually lose money. So price your home competitively and beat the competition.

4. Sellers if you are going to replace carpet or paint, remember to replace the carpet with neutral colors (NOT BLUE, GREEN or ORANGE) & when you re-paint, again use neutral colors. Buyers do not want to have to come in and make a bunch of changes. We all have different tastes so lets just keep it NEUTRAL.

Gary gives a very positive first impression; however, more poignantly he continues to give a stronger and more affirming impression over the course of time.
