You have probably heard by now that the Federal Reserve lowered mortgage interest rates in Salt Lake City again in an effort to revitalize the economy, including the local Salt Lake City housing market. This is great news if you are looking to buy a home in the Salt Lake City area, or are getting ready to sell a home in Salt Lake City.

The move by the Federal Reserve is intended to make money more available for local Salt Lake City mortgages, and makes it easier for buyers to obtain home mortgage loans in Salt Lake City. Wall Street analysts are playing a part in the action, predicting that this will be the last move by the Federal Reserve Bank to reduce interest rates. This means that now is the time to get serious about buying or selling your home in Salt Lake City, because the opportunity won’t get any better than this. In other words, there isn’t a good reason to wait any longer.

The quarter-point cut lowered the rate at which banks loan money to each other to two percent, a full three percentage points below where it was on September 18th, when they started cutting rates. This is the lowest it has been, and makes for a great buying opportunity for anyone looking at real estate in the Salt Lake City area.

Rates on mortgages are dropping for real estate in the Salt Lake City area thanks to a recent move by the Federal Reserve Bank. The feds dropped the rate this week in a move to spark the housing market and rebound the economy.

What does this mean for the real estate market in Salt Lake City, Utah? Well, as you know there are plenty of houses on the market in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have been saying that there is a ‘buyer’s market’ in Salt Lake City, Utah, but it couldn’t be any more true than it is now.

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

With winter here in full swing, the opportunity for Salt Lake City 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 Mortgage Loan Advisor on your side can help you buy or sell an Salt Lake City FSBO home. A Mortgage Loan Advisor like myself has a wider range of sales tools to attract customers and communicate the features and benefits of your Salt Lake City FSBO, and I can help you find great Salt Lake City FSBO opportunities, too.

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

In an effort to help jump start the flagging Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City economy is more stable than the nightly news people want you to believe.

Buying a new house in the Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City real estate market, give me a call. I am currently showing homes in the Salt Lake City area, and would love to show you some of the great deals we have out there.

‘ For Sale By Owner ‘ is a method of selling non-owner occupied real estate in the Salt Lake City area. For Sale By Owner is referred to as a ‘FSBO’, verbally pronounced as ‘fizz-bow’. You may hear real estate agents or property owners use this term to describe non-owner occupied real estate properties that are placed on the market by a non-professional real estate marketer.

While there is nothing wrong with selling non-owner occupied real estate on your own, research statistics show that you are more likely to sell for more if you have a Mortgage Loan Advisor on your side.

As a professional real estate marketer, I have access to marketing tools and resources that allow me to more effectively sell your Salt Lake City non-owner occupied real estate property.

Among the benefits of using a Mortgage Loan Advisor instead of ‘ For Sale By Owner ‘:

Sell for more; research indicates that a Mortgage Loan Advisor can typically sell for anywhere from a few thousand to many thousands more.

Sell faster; the marketing tools and resources I have available to me as a Mortgage Loan Advisor allow me to market your Salt Lake City non-owner occupied real estate property more aggressively, reaching more qualified buyers in less time.

Sell with fewer problems; FSBO sales are often complicated when both the buyer and/or the seller are unfamiliar with the legal process of selling an Salt Lake City non-owner occupied real estate property. There are many rules and regulations that I, as a Mortgage Loan Advisor, am professionally familiar with. Sellers often report that selling an Salt Lake City non-owner occupied real estate property was one of the most stressful experiences in their life. My qualifications can mitigate the complications and turn a stressful experience into a happy one.

So before you list your Salt Lake City non-owner occupied real estate property as for sale by owner, consider getting a Mortgage Loan Advisor involved.

My name is Craig Riley, and I am a Mortgage Loan Advisor. You can learn more about me and selling For Sale By Owner at my official real estate website at www.advfund.com.

Or you can simply give me a call at 801.272.0600.

I concentrate on FSBO sales in the greater Salt Lake City area.

The Federal Reserve just lowered short-term interest rates by a quarter percent. What does this mean for our Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City, 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 Salt Lake City real estate market, please give me a call.
