What does it mean for Sellers? It’s still important for home Sellers in Utah to price ahead of the slight downtrend in the right now market - get in front of the demand instead of chasing it down. You’ll do better on your sale with a conservative price point that’s accurately informed with local data than if you had aimed to squeeze everything out of it possible and as a result stayed on the market for 3 months. 




Buyers: The market leans a little in your favor, do not believe the seductive idea that it has tipped over to be completely in your favor. I’ve make a ton of informational shorts and reels about this in the last couple of months, and apparently I can’t overdo this message so just remember the market has not crashed and is not on the verge of it - believe me I will be the first one to show you the data if it does. It’s not going that way at all right now.




Remember that I track interest rates from the following website:
