HIGHLAND LOT FOR SALE

I have listed a lot in Highland in the Country French Estates Subdivision.   It is .90 acres and is next to a .38 acre easement where no one can build on it.  This means the neighbors will not be too close.  You can use any builder you like to build your dream home in this subdivision filled with custom homes.

FORECLOSURES DROP 30%

So it is no secret that real estate market is not at its peak.    People are still losing jobs, in some areas home prices are still declining, and Utah still has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation.  KCPW News reported that the number of foreclosures in Utah fell 30% since April of 2010.  Although Utah is still not out of the woods when it comes to foreclosures it appears we may be headed in the right direction.  To read the full article from KCPW News go to the following link.  http://kcpw.org/blog/local-news/2011-05-13/foreclosures-drop-30-percent-since-last-april/

2011 HOUSING FORECAST

Once of the most asked questions I receive is "What do I think will happen to housing prices?"  Each year the Salt Lake Board of Realtors releases a housing forecast for the current year.   Although predictors don't know exactly what will happen to housing prices they give a educated guess.  The Salt Lake Board of Realtors said that since there has been 3 years of steep housing price declines that current declines are not as steep.  They predict that for the first 2 quarters of the year prices will stabilize and that during the last 2 quarters of the year home prices will slowly begin to rebound.  Click below to read more info about the forecast.  One link is the actual forecast if you are interested in watching.

WHAT DOES A TITLE COMPANY DO???

Many of you may wonder "What does a title company do"???  There are many things a title company does, but the main one is to be a facilitator during your home buying process.  Once an offer on a house is accepted you will pick a title company and make sure they have a copy of the contract.   They will also issue you title insurance to insure that when you purchase the property that you own the home free and clear.   The title company is also who will prepare all of the closing documents.  They will also walk you through those papers when you go in to the title company to sign the documents.   Below is a list of many of the responsibilies of a title company.

 1) Preparing the closing documents for all the parties
 2) Paying off the loan of the seller
 3) Walking you through the paperwork at settlement and answering  questions
 4) Paying off the seller's loan
 5) On occasion depositing the buyer's earnest money check
 6) Coordinating paperwork between all parties involved
 7) Prorating annual property taxes and other items such as rents collected if necessary
 8) Coordinating the funding of the loan
 9) Dispursing checks and commissions
 10) Preparing and recording deeds and other necessary documents
