Status of The Southern Utah Real Estate Market for October

Well folks, October 2008 is in the books. I hope you are already for Thanksgiving and getting ready for the turkey. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to thank those who we were able to close this month. We know you have a lot of choices and we are always flattered you have chosen us.

Randy and Beth Wyatt (Sold Listing)
Bob and Brenda Crow (Sold Listing)
Toni Thompson (Purchase)

I would also like to thank Dustin and Traquel Dayley for referring the Wyatts, and Gerald and Cortney Brewer for referring the Crows. I was able to find Toni when I spoke to her mother Colleen Simkins about a listing I had in the neighborhood.

So this is what happened in the Greater St. George and Hurricane during the course of this last month. Once again, remember, this only includes homes and lots that have conveyed on the MLS, I have no way of being accurate on non-MLS sales.

Foreclosures and Short Sells

The foreclosure market is really ramping up. I am in the process of revamping my foreclosure website so that it will give everyone full access to any foreclosed listing on the MLS. No bull, just listings you can actually buy. The site is www.southernutahforeclosure.com. Check it out. It should be up in the next few days. I am excited about it, and I think it will help.

Short sells. Starting to see fewer of them, a lot of them, of course are turning into foreclosures.

Good deals are abounding. I am seeing more and more of them everyday. It is a great time to buy.

As always, please let me know what I can do to help you and yours with any and all of your real estate needs.
