If not now, WHEN?

“Our challenge is to ensure we do everything possible to share the reality of Utah’s current market. Tell your family, tell your friends, what is really happening in our market. Seek out opportunities to have conversations with everyone you come in contact with. Help the public to be educated.

Share the Facts
• Utah’s unemployment rate is 2.6%
• Utah's economy is the best ever and the prosperity the state's residents are experiencing is anticipated to continue through the first half of next year.
• Utah’s unemployment rate is anticipated to remain low at 3 percent during the first half of 2008.
• More than 48,000 new jobs are anticipated for the first six months of 2008—a 3.9 percent increase over the number of new jobs that emerged during the first half of 2007.
• Utah is named “Most Dynamic Economy”
• Interest rates are at historical lows. The reality is, if buyers have a job, and they have income, and they have a good credit rating, they can buy a house today!

*Housing inventories offer more options than in the last year. Inventory is up 24%. Buyers and sellers have opportunities.
IF NOT NOW, WHEN? It’s a great time to buy real estate.”
