About Box Elder County, UT

Hi…Wanna be my friend? BFF’s even? I am really friendly. Why I just might be the best friend you may ever have. See…I actually do care about you. There are lots of people who claim to be your friend. But who besides your REALTOR really has your back? I will take care of you in sickness and in health. You can place your full trust in me to take care of the largest financial investment you will ever make. Place it all on MY shoulders.

Many professionals choose to just play the lurking friend role on their Facebook profiles (several blogs and webinars suggest this as well) and I have done that as well.

But this week I decided that I am doing myself a disservice and a disservice to my “friends” by being a lurker. The way I see it, this time is the most important time of all to be spouting advice on the real estate front to all who will hear it.

The general public will hear misinformation from the news media and word of mouth if I do not continually offer updates on what the real estate situation is like in my local market. Where else will my “friends” get this information from? Zillow, Trulia, or any number of other consolidator sites with less than accurate information for the general population?

I say NO to being a lurker from now on. I am going to offer tips and tricks and general advice about the real estate climate. Goodbye to Lurking. I am proud of what I do and I offer great advice and service to the public and I am not ashamed to tell them about it.

Yes I do want to be your friend.

Brigham City Homes - If you are searching for homes in Brigham City, you need to be educated on the market. Brigham City has seen a decline in the upper end homes since 2008 just like most cities in the Utah real estate market. Which means, homes in Brigham City over $250,000 are struggling to get sold, and because of this stat, you may want to consider this market. Here's why:

If you can afford a home in the upper price range, above $250,000, you have a lot of inventory to choose from, as well as a lot of negotiating power. In the last 30 days, there are currently 15 homes in Brigham City UT over $250,000 on the market, and there are 0 under contract. This means there is more than a years worth of inventory on the market, and if you know this as a buyer, you can use this knowledge as negotiating power.

If you are in the lower price range, homes in Brigham City under $200,000, it's a different story. Today there are 96 homes on the real estate market in Brigham City, with 38 of those homes under contract. There are more homes to choose from, but with those stats, it shows there is only about 4 months of inventory available. This market is much more competitive, and it's going to be harder to negotiate a better deal on the listing price.

If you want more information on Brigham City homes, feel free to contact me and we can disuss how you can get a great deal on a new home.

The Box Elder County Real Estate market isn't looking as good as other portions of the state. Through the first 7 months of the year, Box Elder County home sales are down 35% compared to the same months last year. At this sales pace, Box Elder County has more than 13 months of active real estate inventory.

So far in 2009, 78 Brigham City Homes have sold, there are 105 Brigham City home listings on the market giving Brigham City 9.42 months of active inventory. There are only 6 Brigham City Condos for sale, and only two that have sold this year, so this statistic is pretty meaningless.

Tremonton's 2009 home sales are less than half of what they were just a year ago. There is also a good high number of Tremonton homes on the market 109, giving Tremonton more than 18 months of active inventory. Garland is in a similar situation, only on a smaller scale. There are just 25 Homes for Sale in Garland Utah.

Box Elder County Homes in Willard and Perry are the most expensive in the County. Willard Utah Home sales are actually up this year while Home sales in Perry are down. The homes for sale in Willard have a median list price of $261,400. Perry Utah Homes have a median list price at almost $270,000.

Home Sales for Rural Box Elder County are also way down. The median price of Rural Box Elder County Homes for sale is $209,000. Over the past two years the average sold price for the rural communities was in the $140,000's.
