Janet Naisbitt-Bagley

Sunday was spent in Milford, Utah, where our great-granddaughter, Jaidyn Marie, was blessed. It was a beautiful day with a slight breeze. I enjoyed the peace and relaxation away from the stress of the world beginning with the drive through the hills, trees & greenery between Cedar City and Milford. It seemed like a page out of time. We had a great picnic at the Pavillion! Smell the hamburgers? It just doesn't get any better than spending time with husband, children, their spouses, grandchildren, family and friends.

Being a REALTOR, however, it is difficult to do anything without at least thinking about real estate. I thought what a quaint little town Milford is. No wonder our daughter, Michelle, loves living there! I thought about how living in a small town gives our grandchildren the opportunity to excel in sports and academics. Of course, they'd be successful anywhere, but small towns do have their advantages!

If you are considering moving to a small town, I recommend taking a look at Milford, Utah, real estate. Take off on your ATV and enjoy the fun of the ride!

I was asked this question today, so I wanted to reply with a resounding NO! Let me qualify that: You must continue owning and living in the home for at least 3 years, according to what I have been told, in order to not have to pay back the tax credit.

There are several signs that the market may be turning around in the Cedar City, Utah, area: 1. Investors are showing up on the buying scene again. 2. We are receiving multiple offers on the bargain priced properties. 3. We have more offers, more sales in progress and more closings.

All of these are indications of a market turnaround. It is too soon to tell if the market has turned, however, because of the number of foreclosures entering the marketplace. It's a great time for buyers to buy! Check out the huge inventory of attractive bargains at www.homesincedarcity.com and click on search MLS.

With the low interest rates and low prices, I believe it is a great time to buy while there is a huge inventory of homes. It's a sea of opportunity for buyers, and Janet's team can help with every home no matter which office has it listed. That saves you hours of time to work with Janet and her team of professional realtors!

I recently sold some rental units to my daughter and son-in-law thinking that they were getting a great deal in this market! Now the same type of units have come on the market for even less! I was devastated until the listing agent told me he had paid thousands more than my daughter and son-in-law had, and that his renters were still making his payment for him.

Then I learned that my buyers would have actually lost more if they'd left their money in the investment they had. They're thrilled with their investment because the rents coming in are actually giving them a nice profit! Since real estate and rents go up over time especially in inflationary times, they are pleased with their purchase.

What's the problem--none! Real estate is still the best investment I know of even in tough economic times like these. Like my son-in-law said, you can't guess the exact bottom. I still feel good about buying now while interest rates and prices are low and the inventory is high. Interest rates are expected to rise, so I strongly believe that this is a great time to find your dream home or rental property.

I spoke to an appraiser yesterday that believes the market may have bottomed out in March for Cedar City, Utah real estate. My assistant Matt and I are working with 3 buyers tomorrow. We are certainly seeing more accepted offers on properties and are very busy working with buyers and making offers and negotiating contracts. It's too soon to tell if the market may be turning around, but I believe it is definitely more active. I hope the appraiser is correct and that it is not just a spurt. It's tough to guess the bottom, so I believe you should buy now. I hope it's a trend. Please let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you.
