I was talking with one of my colleagues this morning and he told me of a guy he was speaking with yesterday.  This client said he had wait to purchase a home because he didn’t quite have 20% for a down payment yet.  Many consumers right now would like to purchase a home, but they are worried that they can’t get financing. So what’s the real story with getting a loan?

For most Americans the American Dream is to own a home.  Buying a home is a big step in anyone’s life.  This is probably the biggest investment you will ever make and also the most rewarding.  Although, we hear in the news almost daily of all of the foreclosures across the country happening.  Were these people in foreclosure really ready to purchase a home when they did?

While I was attending college here in Logan, Utah I talked to other students who were attending Utah State University from all over the country, and world for that matter. People told me all the time that there was nothing to do in Logan. I was shocked to hear this. I’ve lived in this area most of my life and I know there is an adundance of things here in the valley. Logan has great things to offer for almost anyone.

Do You Really Believe The News?

Posted by Robert Bowen in Untagged

If you have turned on the news at all recently you’ve probably heard doom and gloom regarding foreclosures, banks going under, and the overall economy going to hell in a hand basket. Yes, it is scary stuff. In reality though, economies naturally work just like a roller coaster. My point is, don’t let the current economic downturn get you down.

Should I buy now? That is the question that is plaguing a lot of people’s minds. Watching the news these days could scare just about anyone from investing in anything. Keep in mind that real estate has no national market. Each local area has its own real estate market. Here in Logan, Utah we still have a strong market and strong local economy. Yes, our growth has slowed, but we are still gaining value on our homes.

Here are a few reasons why now is a great time to buy in Logan, Utah.
  • People selling their homes are willing to negotiate more on price now than they were a year ago at this time.
  • Buyers have more to choose from than ever before.
  • Mortgage rates are still low compared to what they have been in the past.
  • The local economy in Logan is still growing and strong.
If you want to sell your home, you have some things to think about. Currently in Logan there is a large inventory of homes for sale. You have to understand that in order to sell now you may need to be willing to take a lower offer on your home. This is not necessarily a bad thing. If you are looking to move into a larger or nicer home take into account that they will probably be willing to take a lower offer as well.
