A lot of people are talking about foreclosures in the Lehi area these days. Even the local Provo news is painting a picture of mass foreclosures and mortgage trouble.

What is really going on in our local Provo real estate market? Is it as bad as you have been reading? The truth is, everyone has been effected by the current market conditions, and the Provo real estate market is no exception. And while it certainly sounds bad for Provo, the news is not all bad.

Foreclosure is a terrible thing if you are the one being foreclosed. However as a buyer you have a unique opportunity to both get a great deal and even help someone out. Home owners who are in danger of foreclosure may also be looking for a buyer. In some cases, a foreclosure deal might represent an opportunity to purchase a property at a lower cost and lease it back to the current tenants.

There are lots of options in a foreclosure deal, and many of them are win-win for both parties. Our current Provo real estate market conditions may seem treacherous, but there can be a silver lining.

As a real estate agent for Realty Advantage, I specialize in helping people like you negotiate the terms of a Provo real estate foreclosure deal, including foreclosure deals where both parties are interested in walking away feeling good about what just happened.

Foreclosure is no fun, but it doesn’t have to be a bad deal.

If you are in the Provo real estate market, and have questions about the opportunities foreclosure represents to you, whether a buyer or seller, give me a call. I’ll be happy to review your situation with you and recommend options. As a Provo real estate agent, I am approached by parties from both sides, and am in a great position to help you find the right solution.

In my research of the local Lehi real estate market, I have noticed quite a few Lehi FSBO houses. I always make a note of them and contact the owner when possible. The reason I do this is because Lehi FSBO owners in Lehi are often willing to work with a ‘buying agent’ who can bring them qualified candidates.

With winter here in full swing, the opportunity for Lehi FSBO houses to sell is diminished because of several things. Let’s go over a few for the record:

The holiday season takes its toll on consumers, and in the months immediately after the holidays (January and February) it is especially difficult to muster the time and energy it takes to negotiate financing.

The winter months create a lull in foot traffic to homes because of the cold. Fewer people are willing to leave the warmth of their current home in search of a new one when the weather is bad.

Appeal is also diminished. A home will always be more appealing when the landscaping is alive and colorful. The stark cold of the winter months is often beautiful, but rarely does it lend a hand to the real estate market.

Selling ‘For Sale By Owner’ is a difficult task, and even more so in the winter months when the weather and social barriers are against you.

Having a Real Estate Broker on your side can help you buy or sell an Lehi FSBO home. A Real Estate Broker like myself has a wider range of sales tools to attract customers and communicate the features and benefits of your Lehi FSBO, and I can help you find great Lehi FSBO opportunities, too.

Closings can be stressful, especially for first-time Utah home buyers. I have guided countless Alpine and Cedar Hills real estate clients through the stacks of paperwork necessary for the house closing. I make sure everything is in order for the big day.

Here is a list of some of the documents you will sign at closing:

Truth in lending statement
Monthly payment letter
Note
Mortgage
Itemization of amount borrowed
Disclosure or settlement statement
Proration agreements
Warranty deed
Tax and utility receipts

Timing is key. As I work with my Lehi real estate clients we consider many factors. What is your current living situation? If renting, when does your lease end? Do you want to do some work on your new American Fork house or Provo condo before moving in? If a client is selling one home to buy another, there are two closings to schedule. If the closing will occur near year-end, I like to consider tax implications.

This is just a brief overview of the real estate closing process. Call me at 801-407-3053 with questions about the closing or anything else pertaining to your Lehi real estate needs.

The Federal Reserve just lowered short-term interest rates by a quarter percent. What does this mean for our Lehi real estate market? Probably several things, and most of them good.

The Federal Reserve bank makes loans to loan companies, and when they reduce their rates, it makes it easier for other banks to get money and make loans. If you have been considering a real estate investment, now is a great time to get serious.

You may have heard that we have a ‘buyer’s market’ here in Lehi, and to an extent that is true. And while there are plenty of reasons to buy, there are also good reasons to sell. The resent move by the feds will help on both sides of the deal.

If you are interested in learning more about how the recent changes affect mortgage loans and the Lehi real estate market, please give me a call.

Using a Real Estate Broker to sell Lehi real estate provides many advantages over selling on your own. When you enter the ‘for sale by owner’ market in Lehi you are starting out at a significant disadvantage for a number of reason. Here are a few:

As a Real Estate Broker I have access to a number of helpful tools that allow me to market your Lehi real estate more effectively. For instance, I have access to the Lehi MLS system, which allows me to list your home in an online database that searched by thousands of real estate agents every day. Local Lehi real estate agents who receive updates from the MLS system are automatically alerted to your new listing, and can help share the news with buyers. Buyers from outside of Utah are also made aware of your sale and can seek more information if they are interested in moving to the Lehi area.

When it comes time to negotiate, it really helps to have an experienced Real Estate Broker on your side to help you navigate the offers, counter offers, and contracts. Admittedly, the process of selling a home in Lehi isn’t rocket science, but like all things, it can be an overwhelming process for people who don’t do it very often. It really helps to have a local Lehi advocate who can give you advice, explain current statistics, and warn you of common pitfalls.

Who to turn to, and what comes next when you have sold your Lehi real estate is the next big area that a Real Estate Broker can help you with. I do this often, and have a good and trustworthy group of people to turn to for title work, financing, appraisals, and inspections. As an experienced Real Estate Broker working in the Lehi area, I know who does the best work for each type of real estate property sale. Even better, I have established relationships with local Lehi professionals and can put a deal together in a seamless package that makes it easy for you. I am here to help, and have the local Lehi resources to make your Lehi real estate transaction as painless as it can be.

With Mortgage rates at record lows, and an abundance of houses on the Lehi market, the time is right to buy a new Lehi real estate property.

In an effort to help jump start the flagging Lehi housing market, the federal reserve recently lowered interest rates, opening greater access to money for lenders. This normally makes it easier to qualify for mortgage loans for Lehi real estate. And this is certainly the case, however, you may also have been hearing that big-name lenders are folding up and tightening their loan requirements.

It’s true; the mortgage loan market is experiencing turbulence and lenders are acting nervous. But don’t let this scare you; the truth is that banks are still making money on loans, and the Lehi economy is more stable than the nightly news people want you to believe.

Buying a new house in the Lehi real estate market is making a lot of sense right now because prices are good and there are plenty of choices. Smart real estate investors will look to this kind of opportunity to get the right house at the right price.

If you are interested in learning more about our local Lehi real estate market, give me a call. I am currently showing homes in the Lehi area, and would love to show you some of the great deals we have out there.
