Areas of Expertise

I have been asked questions about this tough market and have listed a few of them below.

Has the Utah Real Estate Market bottomed?

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 and some homeowners are making buying decisions.

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.

The National news media will probably not report a bottom until the average of the homes in the US show a confirmed bottom by exhibiting positive price action.

Is there a solid indictor we can trust to confirm a bottom?

Look for homes appreciating in value, in your area of interest. With comfirmed appreciation in the market of your interest. We will have started our climb from the bottom.

I want to get a jump on the appreciation cycle to maximize my appreciation in the up cycle. Who can tell me when we are at the bottom prior to the market confirming with price appreciation?

Short answer is no one can. We can roll the dice and buy without a confirmed bottom. Some call it bottom fishing.

This is not for the average home buyer. The average homebuyer buys to live in the home and not to time the market for a flip or some other investment strategy.

Market timing is risky and few will succeed.

Please understand the answers to the above questions are designed to answer the majority of the buyers concerns. As with life there are always exceptions.

I do believe in the free market system and believe the market will improve.

Many are waving the white flag and still waiting on the sidelines.

Having made the above statements, so there are no misunderstanding about current market conditions. Especially those buying for a short term investment and not a long term home for their family.

I would argue that those who are looking to buy at the market bottom will most likely miss it. Extremely (if not impossible) difficult to time any market bottom, in combination with the majority of home buyers afraid to purchase at this time. I believe we will see an unprecended pent up demand at the market bottom that will cause a bounce in home prices.

Those who are looking for a home for their family with plans to stay long term. Why not buy now? Especially if the numbers make sense, i.e. Owning vs. Renting. Even, if the market retracts more (which is extremely likely) in the future. Between the coming market bounce and future normal appreciate. Why not make an informed buying or waiting decision?

You were very sensitive to the fact that we had many questions. You were always there for us. You made the offer and it was accepted. We would not even have known an offer could be made had it not been for you. We were amazed that an offer over 20% under asking price would be accepted, it was and we could not be happier with our home. You are tops and you were always accessible by phone or email. You took the time to explain everything to us in detail. You were a pleasure to work with. You knew the answers to all of our questions, and even provided us with information we did not know we needed. You were great. We did not have any problems and you rate tops in very area. We are happy to be a reference and we can not think of one thing you could improve.

I love training, breeding, caring for and riding horses. I never thought I could afford a horse boarding, training and breeding facility. Mark made it happen with my limited resources and with no money down. I was able to purchase my DREAM PROPERTY and never brought one dime to closing.

I am a Professional Investor and follow-up is extremely important to me. Mark never missed a follow-up and was always accessible. Knowing investors and their needs are also important and Mark is a star player that goes the extra mile. We are all busy however; he would always return calls in an acceptable time. Customers and their best interests come first with Mark. He is constantly working on providing resources and information for his clients to enable them to make informed decisions. I can not say enough good things about his knowledge, availability, ethics, honesty and meeting his commitments.

We moved from Nevada and had to find a home to purchase that was wheel chair accessible with ground level entrance. The only home we could find was for sale by owner. It did not matter to Mark he work hard to make it all come together. It is wonderful to find someone that puts the client and their needs first. Thanks Mark.

When we first met Mark Watterson he told us that if he wasn't the best real estate agent in the world for us, he felt as though he wasn't doing a good enough job. He proved himself to BE the best agent in the world. Mark takes client service to a new level. He was always on the ball and kept his word and time schedule without fail. He was always ready to go the extra mile, prompt to return phone calls, and great about protecting our interests. Even though our sale closed escrow a month ago, Mark is still there whenever we need him. He is even helping us get bids for our basement completion. There are few people left in the world today who, in business, are so committed to their work and those that work with them as Mark is. He is the best! Thanks so much.

Availability and market knowledge are very important to me and Mark did not disappoint me. Marks knowledge of the market was the deciding factor in why I chose him to market my two Utah properties. I would use Mark again and would recommend him. His honesty, availability and work ethic were much appreciated. High marks all around for Mark.

I'm a single mom and this was my first time selling a home. I tried selling it myself and was very glad I hired Mark to manage the process for me. Mark willingness to educate me on all the choices and follow through every step of the process was GREAT! He was with me through the entire selling process. His overall professionalism, knowledge, service, ethics, honesty, accessibility, and he is easy to work with, could not be better. Mark is the one to call, when you need a strong negotiator and one on one service.

When you need results this is the man. He uses all the marketing tools. Headline space on Realtor.com, print, open houses, Internet marketing and whatever it takes to get total exposure. My house was sold in far less time that I thought was possible (less than 35 days in a slow market).

I have been trying for months to get my property purchase completed. I was being told a lot of things that made the transaction seem extremely difficult to get done. I don't know maybe it is? I do know Mark got it into escrow in less than two weeks. This is the get it done guy. Thanks Mark

I need to sale my home and did not know where to turn. The market was slow and I was getting married and we could not afford two house payments. Mark listed my home and it was SOLD in less than 30 days for full asking price. What a stress relief.

I'm a first time home buyer and needed someone I could trust to get me through the entire process. This is the biggest purchase in my life and I was very nervous. Mark was always there for me, to educate and guide me. He was GREAT and I love my home. Thank you Mark, you have earned a client for life.
