As I have mentioned in many of my latest blogs our distressed inventory (Short Sales / Foreclosures) is moving very fast. While Southern Utah in general, and Saint George Utah specifically foreclosures numbers continue to vacillate. The fact of the matter is that both investors and first time home buyers are jumping into the market. As our distressed inventory tries to increase, our future retirees, first time home buyers, and investors are all stepping up to the home buying plate and taking advantage of the historically low interest rate, and extremely motivated sellers.
What the smart investors seem to know is that between the $6,000 Utah home run grant, the $8,000 fed tax incentive, a 30 year fixed @ 4.78%, and all of the tax deductions that come along with being a home owner…at the end of the year you will pay less to own a home than rent it. And by the way what kind of a sign is it when you can buy a new home, for less than you can rent it…I’m pretty sure that a bottom is near.
That being said; today is 5.4.09, busy Monday in Saint George…in an attempt to keep up with the many request for different types of Southern Utah Real Estate Listings, I keep these live links posted for the different search criteria that I receive the most requests for.
• Southern Utah Foreclosures
• Southern Utah Adult Communities
