The Draper Utah homes for sale report for Salt Lake on 7/01/09 shows 7551 homes or condos listed in Salt Lake County. Fifteen hundred seventy six (20.8%) of these homes are condominiums. Draper Utah homes make up almost 6.6% of that number, with 505 single family homes for sale. Ninety two (16%) of those are condominiums.
The information contained in this Draper Real Estate Market Analysis is provided by the Wasatch Front MLS, from home listings supplied by Realtors from around the Salt Lake Valley.
While the numbers are from the MLS, any commentary is the opinion of Group1 Real Estate Agents. It is just that, an opinion, not legal or accounting advise, or recommendations outside the agents area of expertise.
This report will not include most of the homes for sale by owner, (FSBOs) as these houses are rarely listed across the MLS. However it should be noted that a very high percentage of these homes/condos are sold by Utah Realtors.
Likewise New Homes, (new construction).
Most builders employ agents to sell their own homes/condos from Model Home complexes. Most of the time these new homes are not listed, and the sales agent is an employee, (paid by) the new home builder. Good examples of this would be the Daybreak community in South Jordan and Rosecrest in Herriman UT. Both of these communities have an extensive model home presence.
Keep in mind that unless you take your own agent to view the Models, you have no representation. You should.
It's FREE!!! Read how to shop for a new home.

About Draper homes for sale:
Of all the areas in Utah, the Sun crest area of Draper probably affords the homebuyer and investor alike the greatest opportunity for gain. It also is an area that contains substantial risk. With the bankruptcy of the developer in May of last year through the lawsuits between Draper City and Zions Bank the development has been destabilized to say the least. Obligations are no longer valid and the overall plan has changed and is bound to change even more as the commitments are evaluated by interested parties. It has been my experience that over time these things will work themselves out, but investing in Sun crest is not for the faint of heart. I would encourage anyone considering an investment in Draper to get a Realtor that is knowledgeable about the area and experienced in Real Estate new development.

The Lockbox is a very important component of the Listing Package when it comes time to have your home listed for sale. A lockbox is a padlock with a cavity inside where a key to your home can be placed. Only someone with an electronic key or the combination can get into the lockbox and access the key. Having a lockbox available at your house makes it easy for other agents to gain access to your house.
Without the lockbox, agents representing buyers would have to set appointments to meet you or your agent at the house so they could gain access and view the home. This would be inconvenient. Since almost every other house does have a lockbox available, if you do not allow one most agents will simply not show your property. You will miss out on lots of potential buyers.
The listing contract specifies whether you allow a lockbox or not. It is locked into place, usually on the front door and cannot be removed.

Many factors come into play when you attempting to figure out how much you can afford in a new home. In addition to your monthly mortgage payment, there are closing costs, moving expenses, plus purchases and maintenance for the new home. The rule of thumb is generally considered, your gross income multiplied by 2.5, will give you an approximate amount for the price of home you can afford. The amount will vary depending on how much you have as a down payment, your debts, financial situation, and credit history and rating. Your debts, including alimony and child support, should not be more than 30 to 40 percent of your gross income.
Monthly Mortgage Payment
Lenders are very careful to make sure you have the ability to repay your loan. As a general rule, your monthly mortgage payment should be equal to or less than 25 percent of your gross monthly income.
Amount of Money needed at Closing
You will need money for down payment and closing costs, plus any move related expenses and maintenance or repair costs for your home. The down payment will generally fall between 3 ½ percent and 20 percent of your property value. Closing costs can be estimated somewhere between 2 and 7 percent of the property value.
Remember when getting ready to purchase a new home you should consult with a Professional Loan Officer and Realtor. They will help to guide you through the process and make it a very enjoyable and successful endeavor.

We need Positive Price Action to confirm market bottom. One month of price improve isn't sufficient to confirm the market bottom. We need to see appreciation month over month for three months.
PRICE ACTION
Other good signs in addition to positive price action is lower DOM (days of the market), lower new listings and higher percent of new listings being SOLD.
SUMMARY
Currently we are not seeing the needed positive price action (along with other indicators) to confirm a market bottom. This is NOT a good time for those with low and/or no risk tolerance to purchase.
High and medium risk tolerant investors are making buying decisions and are doing some bottom fishing.
Some are trying to time the market and market timing is risky. Trying to time the bottom is not for the inexperienced buyer and extremely difficult.
Those waiting for a market bottom confirmation will (almost always) miss the bottom. This is because confirming factors are lagging indicators.
Buy and hold is the best buying strategy.
Data considered accurate... However is NOT Guaranteed. Contact your Mark Watterson your Local Property Resource Specialist for the most up-to-date data and help to determine your specific risk tolerance.
