In my research of the local South Jordan real estate market, I have noticed quite a few South Jordan FSBO houses. I always make a note of them and contact the owner when possible. The reason I do this is because South Jordan FSBO owners in South Jordan are often willing to work with a ‘buying agent’ who can bring them qualified candidates.

With winter here in full swing, the opportunity for South Jordan FSBO houses to sell is diminished because of several things. Let’s go over a few for the record:

The holiday season takes its toll on consumers, and in the months immediately after the holidays (January and February) it is especially difficult to muster the time and energy it takes to negotiate financing.

The winter months create a lull in foot traffic to homes because of the cold. Fewer people are willing to leave the warmth of their current home in search of a new one when the weather is bad.

Appeal is also diminished. A home will always be more appealing when the landscaping is alive and colorful. The stark cold of the winter months is often beautiful, but rarely does it lend a hand to the real estate market.

Selling ‘For Sale By Owner’ is a difficult task, and even more so in the winter months when the weather and social barriers are against you.

With Mortgage rates at record lows, and an abundance of houses on the South Jordan market, the time is right to buy a new South Jordan real estate property.

In an effort to help jump start the flagging South Jordan housing market, the federal reserve recently lowered interest rates, opening greater access to money for lenders. This normally makes it easier to qualify for mortgage loans for South Jordan real estate. And this is certainly the case, however, you may also have been hearing that big-name lenders are folding up and tightening their loan requirements.

It’s true; the mortgage loan market is experiencing turbulence and lenders are acting nervous. But don’t let this scare you; the truth is that banks are still making money on loans, and the South Jordan economy is more stable than the nightly news people want you to believe.

Buying a new house in the South Jordan real estate market is making a lot of sense right now because prices are good and there are plenty of choices. Smart real estate investors will look to this kind of opportunity to get the right house at the right price.

‘ For Sale By Owner ‘ is a method of selling commercial real estate in the South Jordan area. For Sale By Owner is referred to as a ‘FSBO’, verbally pronounced as ‘fizz-bow’. You may hear real estate agents or property owners use this term to describe commercial real estate properties that are placed on the market by a non-professional real estate marketer.

While there is nothing wrong with selling commercial real estate on your own, research statistics show that you are more likely to sell for more if you have a REALTOR

The Federal Reserve just lowered short-term interest rates by a quarter percent. What does this mean for our South Jordan real estate market? Probably several things, and most of them good.

The Federal Reserve bank makes loans to loan companies, and when they reduce their rates, it makes it easier for other banks to get money and make loans. If you have been considering a real estate investment, now is a great time to get serious.

You may have heard that we have a ‘buyer’s market’ here in South Jordan, and to an extent that is true. And while there are plenty of reasons to buy, there are also good reasons to sell. The resent move by the feds will help on both sides of the deal.
