Homes for Sale in Utah

The other day the Salt Lake Board of Realtors held a blood drive for the American Red Cross. As the phlebotomist began her process to draw my donation she asked, “Is now a good time to buy a home?” The answer was and is a resounding YES, without any doubt in my mind. In good, up markets or bad, down markets, a home is yours and is more than a dwelling place, especially if you plan to live there for more than a short while. You’re not renting, you’re not living in your In-Laws basement, and you own it. There are numerous tax benefits of home ownership. She and her husband are presently renters. She wanted to know how to go about looking for a home and asked what she should do next. I explained that most people in her situation do one of two things first. One, they may drive around looking for a new home in builder communities or search for an existing home in a selected neighborhood. Two, new home buyers may want to visit with a favored mortgage company to help determine what price point the home buyer may wish to shop. Either start works especially when the home buyer has a good handle on their finances and know what they are looking for.
