Salt Lake City Home Sales

We currently have 8113 active listings in Salt Lake county.
2525 were listed in the last 30 days, and 1097 properties were put under contract.
We had 1337 properties that didn't sell, and had 909 homes that did sell.

It's good to see the number sold up in the 900 range, but we still have a 8.93 month suppply
of inventory to burn through.

We are still in a buyers market, and interest rates are still great. What are you waiting for? An invitation?

You are cordially invited to set an appointment with me to view some properties, and enter into negotiation on the property of your choice! To partially quote Romans 1:20, you are now without excuse!

Until next time, Dan

Shirking my Duty in Salt Lake City

Well I have to admit I have been less than enthusiastic when it comes to maintaining this blog. I have been watching the market closley in Salt Lake City and posting religously only to think that no one really cares or listens, or pays attention. Well, hopefully I have gotten over myself and will get back with the program. You see, I know that sellers and buyers need my knowledge and expertise now, more than ever.

As I see the number of home sales pick up here in Salt Lake, I also see the inventory increase and it's apparent that we really just are maintaining status quo. The inventory is right about where it's been for the last couple of months. So here's my theory, and I'm pretty surer I'm correct.

What I'm seeing is a lot of homes that still have not sold, and I'm seeing homes that expired come back on the market. With all the media attention on the "bad market", I think a lot of sellers have had bad agents or in-experienced agents working for them. Agents who have not been able to counsel their sellers correctly, and advise them correctly on how to get their home sold. When the home doesn't sell, the agent blames it on the market, and the seller finds it very believable becasue that's all they hear all day long.

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP! Experience is the key to success in this market! It may be time for you to consider a different agent at this point if you still need to sell, or possibly you need to start listening to the agent you have.

Well, I'll get off my soapbox now. Remember, I'm Dan Walker! I know how to sell houses, and I always go the extra mile.
