Last weekend there was a ribbon cutting ceremony at a marvelous new project in West Valley City, I hope you were there, for the train rides, canoeing fun, Hay rides and Dessert bar.

If not, call us we'll give you a ride, next Saturday. I don't know if all the giveaway's will still be in place, but it's worth the time.

I was impressed, as i usually am with an Ivory opening.

Highbury @ Lake Park shows West Valley Homes for sale in a totally new light, and a newly decorated 4,000 sq. ft. Model Homes presents Ivory Homes @ it's best.

As usual Ivory has built a community within a community and if you you are looking for Townhomes in the $180s, or New homes for sale from the $240s you need to get out to Highbury SOON!

REMEMBER:

$8,000 Federal Tax Gift + $8,000 Match From Ivory +$4,000 State Grant = $20,000 Savings.

The new golf course clubhouse is under construction, giving even more value to the 18 New Golf Course Home-sites that were just paved.

If you are a do it yourself-er and want to build your own house or hire your own home builder to build your new home, check out the 1/4 acre home-sites available for sale @ Highbury at Lake Park.

Now, before you decide that I'm working for Ivory Homes, think again. In fact. I want to work with you.

As knowledgeable and as nice, and as helpful as that agent seems to be (the one in the Model Home). They will NEVER represent you interest over the builders. They are paid by the builder, they are trained by the builder and by law, they have a fiduciary duty to the builder as they negotiate a home sale.

You need your own representation when buying a New Home. It costs you nothing, and it will give you someone to watch your back.

Salt Lake Foreclosures In Riverton UT-What They Sold For!

Trying to figure out how to price an offer on Salt Lake foreclosures in Riverton UT?

It's easy; Check this out.

Identify foreclosures in Riverton UT that have sold in the last 30 days. Don't include short sales or any other pre-foreclosed homes or condos. Only include homes that are real foreclosures. Houses that are owned by the bank or corporate investors through the foreclosure process. These are sometimes called REOs.

Put together a narrative of each home sale, describing age, size, asking price, sold price less any seller paid concessions, lot size, price paid per square foot, etc:

Now you have information to help you compare what the home you are looking at is worth as opposed to homes that have actually sold.

In the last 30 days there have been 3 Riverton Foreclosed Homes actually close.

Riverton Foreclosures:

Foreclosure A is a 30 year old 2,008 sqft single family Cape Cod style foreclosure in Riverton in the Western Charm neighborhood. The home was listed for $165,000 and sold after 8 days on the market for $160,000. There were no concessions. The $5,000 discount represents about a 3% deviation from the listed price. Price per sqft was $ 79.68.

Foreclosure B is a 4 year old 3,610 sqft Riverton UT Rambler in the Monarch Meadows subdivision. This foreclosed home listed at $225,000 and sold and closed in 35 days for $257,500 dollars less $8,995 in seller paid concessions, for a net price to the bank of $248,505. This was over 10% of the listed price of this Riverton foreclosure and brought the price per sqft to $68.84.

Foreclosure C is a 3 year old 5,504 sqft Rambler on a third acre in the Castle-wood Estates area of Riverton Utah. This Riverton Rambler was listed @ $379,900 and sold in 20 days for $379,900 w/ concessions of $6,000. Net to the Bank was $373,900, which was less than 1.5% discount. That's $67.93 per sqft for a foreclosed home in Riverton Utah.

This is by no means the best way to determine an offering price. It's just easy.

What's the best way?

Call your Realtor. Ask them to prepare a CMA, (Comparative Market Analysis) so you will know exactly what that property is worth.

If you don't have a Realtor and would like to discuss making an offer on a Salt Lake Foreclosure, give us a call @ 801-567-0946.

Salt Lake Foreclosures In Herriman UT-What To Offer?

Last weeks post that identified Salt Lake Foreclosures, where they were and what home buyers were actually paying for them, was a big hit.

We got calls about just about every community in the Salt Lake Area.

Needless to say, our blog on how much to offer on Salt Lake Foreclosures will become a monthly staple.

A lot of potential home buyers asked if we would comment on individual areas or Zip codes in Salt Lake City.

Many potential Home Buyers have heard that you can buy these Homes or Condominiums for pennies on the dollar.

Ads on Radio, TV, and in newspapers support these falsehoods by making unbelievable claims about instant wealth available to investors that invest in Salt Lake Foreclosed Homes.

Heres how we find out the truth.

Rather than disprove these claims, we are going to take a more direct approach, and simply list for you the listed price vs the actual sales price of Salt Lake foreclosure homes that have closed in the last thirty days.
