According to a Standard Examiner article last week, the Ogden-Clearfield area is “bouncing back” quite well and leading the way out of the recession. The report was done on the western region on the first quarter of this year by Brookings Institution.
This means Ogden is a great place to live and buy a home. Interest rates are low and inventories are amazing. Sellers need to sell for various reasons and why not live in the Ogden area?
The article stated “Brookings points out Ogden housing prices picked up in the quarter and a reduction in the number of homes in foreclosure – homes owned by lenders – outpaced all of Utah.”
This is good news. Let me help you buy a home Ogden, UT or sell your home in the Ogden area.

It’s spring time again–oops–summer and sometimes we get what I call the “itch” to change. Do I buy a home or do I want to remodel?
Sometimes when we want to move, we start driving around–either in the car or on the Internet.
Or we might want to remodel and we go to the home improvement stores and/or visiting the different websites to determine what’s out there and what we can afford.
If you are looking for some information to help you decide, June’s Reality Check is just the thing.

Wasatch Front home sales increase in first quarter
Sales of Salt Lake single-family homes climbed 15.3 percent in this year’s first quarter, according to a report released Tuesday from the Salt Lake Board of REALTORS®. There were 1,716 homes sold in Salt Lake County from Jan. 1 through March 31 compared to 1,489 home sales in the same three-month period a year earlier. Sales of condominiums in the first quarter in Salt Lake County were up 26.8 percent.
The median price of single-family homes sold in the first quarter in Salt Lake County dropped to $217,000, down 8.8 percent compared to a median price of $238,000 in the first quarter of 2009. Condo prices increased to $162,000, up 1.3 percent compared to $160,000 a year earlier.
Single-family home sales were also up 17.1 percent in Utah County, 13.5 percent in Tooele County, 4.5 percent in Davis County and 0.7 percent in Weber County. The complete report is available at http://www.slrealtors.com/stats/
REALTORS are hosting an Open House Extravaganza this Saturday, April 10th. Lots and lots of homes will be hosted by sales agents all over the state. If you have been wondering about purchasing a home, this is the day to get out and look. It appears the weather is going to cooperate too. Other than doing spring yardwork, what could be more fun?
Sellers are advertising their homes for buyers and aiding the process because the tax credits are going to expire on April 30th, 2010. This means a binding contract must be signed by both parties and the settlement date must take place before June 30th, 2010 to take advantage of up to $8000 in tax credits. For more information about the tax credits, visit irs.gov and enter a search for tax credits.
All you need to do is go to utahrealestate.com and click on the banner (above) at the top of the webpage, click on the county you are interested in and a big list will appear. Maps are also available so you don’t get lost.

Thanks for visiting my blog and enjoy the Open House Extravaganza!
Buyers Who Wait May Lose a Lot
Potential home buyers who delay have a lot to lose.
First-time home buyer and move-up tax credits worth $8,000 and $6,500, respectively, expire April 30. Buyers who qualify get a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes or a cash payment if they don’t pay enough taxes to cover the credit.
Other factors that should spur buyers:
Low mortgage rates. If the Federal Reserve stops buying mortgage-backed securities at the end of March, 30-year rates will almost certainly rise to more than 6 percent.
Rising prices. About 30 percent of markets are already experiencing price increases. Prices are falling in 12 percent of markets, says Fiserv (but that only helps if you want to live there).
