A Tough Lehi Real Estate Market?

January 13th, 2009 by realtyadvantage

A Tough Lehi Real Estate Market? Despite reports to the contrary, the Vernal real estate market is not dead. Lehi houses are selling and many factors point to Utah real estate market stabilization in the near future. I am Aaron McIntire of Realty Advantage in Lehi.

I am currently working with Lehi real estate clients who need to buy or sell. A large inventory of Duchesne homes and Roosevelt condos is a benefit for buyers, while my clients needing to relocate or downsize are also finding success selling their Park City properties. Bottom line? Economic ups and downs do not affect my ability or determination to assist you with your Vernal home buying and selling.

Why am I qualified to help you sell your Lehi home? Here are just of few of the reasons.

  • I have the resources of a successful brokerage which gives me access to a large pool of ready buyers for your Lehi home or Park City investment property.
  • I can help you effectively price your Roosevelt home or Duchesne rental in the current Utah real estate market.
  • I have experience advertising and marketing different types of Lehi properties and know the best way to attract Utah home buyers in the 84043 area code.
  • I am a skilled real estate sales contract negotiator. Whether you are buying or selling, you don’t want to try to finalize sales terms on your own.
  • I can help you determine if a lease-option or owner-financing agreement can help you get the asking price for your Vernal home.

Call Aaron McIntire at 801-407-3053. I am still working hard to help Lehi real estate clients buy and sell.

Lehi Home Values

Lehi Home Values

Hello.

I am Aaron McIntire of Realty Advantage. Many of my Utah real estate clients ask me how Lehi home values are determined for Vernal homes. The value of Duchesne and Roosevelt properties are typically determined by either an appraisal or market analysis.

An appraisal is conducted by a certified Utah real estate appraiser. It is usually done at the request of a Lehi buyer or lender. The appraisal amount is a certified valuation of a Park City home or Duchesne condo.

The comparative market value of your Vernal home is an informal estimate by a Utah real estate agent. It represents the price a buyer is willing to pay, or to look at it another way, the price for which a house is likely to sell in the current Lehi real estate market.

Of course, you can do your own research and get a sense of your Lehi home’s market value, but you need to realize that listing prices are not a true reflection of the Utah housing market. Some Vernal homes are listed too high and are eventually lowered or taken off the market. With my extensive experience listing and selling homes in the Lehi area, I am in the best position to know a true Vernal home value.

If you are thinking about listing your Park City home or Roosevelt investment property, give me a call at 801-407-3053 for a no-pressure market analysis.

Foreclosure Deals in Lehi

A lot of Lehi, Utah people are talking about foreclosures in the Lehi area these days. Even the local Vernal news is painting a picture of mass foreclosures and mortgage trouble for Lehi, Utah.

What is really going on in our local Vernal real estate market? Is it as bad as you have been reading? The truth is, everyone has been effected by the current market conditions, and the Vernal real estate market is no exception. And while it certainly sounds bad for Vernal, the news is not all bad.

Foreclosure is a terrible thing if you are the one being foreclosed. However as a Lehi, Utah real estate buyer you have a unique opportunity to both get a great deal and even help someone out. Lehi, Utah home owners who are in danger of foreclosure may also be looking for a buyer. In some cases, a foreclosure deal might represent an opportunity to purchase a property at a lower cost and lease it back to the current tenants.

There are lots of options in an Lehi foreclosure deal, and many of them are win-win for both parties. Our current Vernal real estate market conditions may seem treacherous, but there can be a silver lining.

As a real estate agent for Realty Advantage, I specialize in helping people like you negotiate the terms of a Vernal real estate foreclosure deal, including foreclosure deals where both parties are interested in walking away feeling good about what just happened.

Foreclosure in Lehi, Utah is no fun, but it doesn’t have to be a bad deal.

If you are in the Vernal real estate market, and have questions about the opportunities foreclosure represents to you, whether a buyer or seller, give me a call. I’ll be happy to review your situation with you and recommend options. As a Vernal real estate agent, I am approached by parties from both sides, and am in a great position to help you find the right solution.

Purchasing Utah Real Estate: Understanding Your Credit Score

November 3rd, 2008 by realtyadvantage

Lehi Real Estate Property Investment

Many first-time Lehi home buyers ask me how their credit status will affect their ability to obtain a mortgage for their Utah home. As a professional Realty Advantage real estate agent, I can help you understand all aspects of the Vernal home buying process so that you will be an informed consumer, one who is in the best possible position to obtain a Utah mortgage loan, and ready to purchase a Lehi real estate property or to invest in Lehi real estate.

When you apply for a loan for your Duchesne land,Roosevelt new construction, or Park City land, a lender will evaluate their ‘risk’ based on the likelihood of your paying back the mortgage on your Utah property.

To determine your ability, they look at two things: your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) and your credit score. Your DTI represents the percentage of your gross monthly income that is applied to outstanding debt. The higher the number, the harder it would be to make the monthly payment on your Vernal area real estate.

Lenders also look at your credit score. Credit reporting agencies maintain records on every person in Utah and throughout the country who has ever been extended credit. (Can you imagine the size of their databases?) Your credit score is that all-important number that represents your credit profile, or credit history. Remember your first credit card? The student loan payments that went on forever? Those unexpected medical bills? They are all contained in your credit score, and will each have an effect on your ability to get a mortgage loan.

Responsible payment history will produce a higher score. However, if your credit history is less than perfect, I can help you explore mortgage options so that you can purchase one of the Vernal real estate properties currently for sale.

Call me at 801-407-3053 and we’ll talk about the latest developments in the Lehi Utah real estate market.

Lehi Real Estate Property Investment

You have probably been hearing that there has never been a better time to invest in Lehi real estate property. It’s true for a number of reasons…

Local Lehi real estate is priced aggressively to sell due to the current market conditions, and the fact that large numbers of buyers have been scared off by doomsday reporting. While some investors have chosen to stay away, smart investors know that the time to strike in Lehi is now. We are already seeing an improved outlook on the housing market and improved sales statistics across the country.

Lehi sellers are still looking to price their investment properties at an aggressive price in order to compete with an unprecedented inventory of available investment properties. Buyers have a great opportunity to get good deals on real estate investments while the market is lagging to catch up. Spring will be a big season this year and smart investors looking at the Lehi area will want to be holding properties as they increase in value with the market.

If you are ready to look at Lehi real estate investment opportunities, give me a call. I am familiar with the area and can help you find a good deal that is right for you.
