Coats 4 Kids and Keller Williams Utah Realtors are hosting an open house on Friday, December 12, 2008 from 12:00 - 7:00 p.m. The open house will be held at the Westgate Lofts Condominiums-the latest in renovated loft style residences. The Westgate Lofts are located at 342 West 200 South near the Gateway Mall in downtown Salt Lake City. Anyone stopping by the open house to donate a coat will receive a free gift. The purpose of the coat drive is to collect new coats for pre-school and school age children who do not have access to winter coats.
Coats 4 Kids is a non-profit group making an effort to provide winter coats for kids in SLC who don't have them. Established in 2000, they depend entirely on volunteer service and donations. Coats 4 Kids co-founder states "We know that it is a worthwhile and rewarding effort to provide warmth to children who would otherwise be suffering and possibly missing school rather than brave the cold without a coat." All volunteer efforts and sponsorships are gratefully welcomed.
I'm sure you've noticed that interest rates have come down.....again! They are the lowest they've been in years. And housing prices are near what they were in 2003 in my particular area! Do you have clients that are fence sitting....waiting for the perfect time to buy? Yeah, most of us do. You may want to make them aware of some very interesting numbers. Point out to them the difference in owning a $320,000 vs. a $240,000 home for the exact same payment amount! Do you think that might make them sit up and take notice? Loan Amount Rate Payment Payment Rate Home Price
$320,000.00 @ 5.25% = $1,766.00 $1,766.00 @ 5.25% = $320,000.00
$320,000.00 @ 6.00% = $1,918.00 $1,766.00 @ 6.00% = $294,700.00
$320,000.00 @ 6.50% = $2,022.00 $1,766.00 @ 6.50% = $279,540.00
$320,000.00 @ 7.00% = $2,128.00 $1,766.00 @ 7.00% = $265,566.00
$320,000.00 @ 7.50% = $2,237.00 $1,766.00 @ 7.50% = $252,680.00
$320,000.00 @ 8.00% = $2,348.00 $1,766.00 @ 8.00% = $240,775.00
FACT: Rates are Phenomenal - now!
FACT: Home Prices are Lower and Fantastic!
FACT: We are in the PERFECT STORM!
Home prices and interest rates are subject to change and both most likely will go up.
Payment will go up substantially for the exact same home!
Food for thought!
Happy selling!
"We are calling out the snow gods and welcoming winter back to the Wasatch" says Jessica Kunzer, spokeswoman for Ski Utah. The Fat Flake Festival is scheduled to kick off this Saturday, November 15 at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Just one of the highlights of Salt Lake City's Fat Flake Festival is a race around the Gallivan Center in snow boots. (Do we know how to party or what?) Winners of the race will receive a new pair of ski boots! A vintage ski clothing contest promises to be a real hoot. There will be prizes of skis, winter clothing, and snowboards. There will be autograph sessions with famous Utah skiers and snowboarders. Live music will include a variety of bands including Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Cavedoll and Junior Giant. Come out to the Fat Flake Festival and help us summon up "The Greatest Snow on Earth"! Gallivan Center-Salt Lake City Plaza - 200 south between State and Main.
If you are considering relocating to Salt Lake City, or are new to the area you may be excited to know that bicycle transportation in Salt Lake City has become much more prevalent! Bikeways have become more plentiful and user friendly. As concern over oil dependence increases, and awareness of health concerns and air pollution is more in the forefront the time has come to consider alternatives. Salt Lake City is putting the bicycle back in the life cycle. The completion of the trail that connects the Jordan River Parkway and the Bonneville Shoreline trail makes a great city wide ride! This trail is now accessible from all parts of the city! Salt Lake City even implemented the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan which seeks to "enhance use of the bicycle for transportation and recreation." You can get your own copy of the SLC Bikeways map at www.slcgreen.com. Happy trails!
