Recently we find ourselves doing more and more energy audits on library buildings in small rural towns and local municipalities of Utah. Most of these buildings were older school buildings or former municipal buildings. These older buildings have not been upgraded or retrofitted with newer windows and doors. During a blower door test these anomalies become very apparent with infrared thermal imaging. The dark blue in the infrared photos is actual cold air infiltrating inside.

Energy Auditing Historical Buildings like the old Evergreen Avenue Historic District in East Millcreek, Utah | Information gathered from any Utah energy audits in the Historic Areas of Salt Lake County, Utah will be used to determine energy efficiency, retrofitting and weatherization projects. Retrofitting projects will include air infiltration, energy efficient windows and doors, insulation levels, weather-stripping and caulking, and electric base loads.

Using the data from the energy audit to retrofit and improve the energy efficiency of a number of it's municipal buildings that will result in substantial reduction in energy usage.

We need Positive Price Action to confirm market bottom. One month of price improve isn't sufficient to confirm the market bottom. We need to see appreciation month over month for three months.
PRICE ACTION
Other good signs in addition to positive price action is lower DOM (days of the market), lower new listings and higher percent of new listings being SOLD.
SUMMARY
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 are making buying decisions and are doing some bottom fishing.
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.
Data considered accurate... However is NOT Guaranteed. Contact your Mark Watterson your Local Property Resource Specialist for the most up-to-date data and help to determine your specific risk tolerance.
