We will also offer comment on some of these stats if we feel it will ad to the value of the information.

We will pay particular attention to the recent phenomenon characterised as distressed properties, and listed as Foreclosures, Bank Owned (REO), HUD Homes, or Short Sales.
New homes (new construction) or homes for sale by owner (FSBOs) probably wont show up in this report, as few of these houses are listed across the MLS.
Grantsville Utah, Homes For Sale:
There are 152 single family homes for sale on the Salt Lake MLS. Only one is a Condominium. ( cowboy country is not condo country) In the last thirty days 36 houses / condos were added to this inventory.
Bank Foreclosures/Short Sales:
A small percentage of homes for sale (6%) are HUD homes, bank owned, short sales, or houses that require third party approval before a sale can be made. Of the 9 distressed houses, the majority are located in the new subdivisions and are a result of overbuilding for the area. Seven of the nine bank owned or short sales are less than 4 years old .
Homes Sold Last 30 Days:
In the last 30 days 10 homes or condos were sold in Grantsville Only 2 of these were bank owned or short sales.
Under Contract Last 30 Days:
During April 19 single family homes/condos were put under contract. Assuming that 90% of these houses close, there will be 17 less homes for sale in Grantsville. There were no contracts written for bank owned or short sales.
Average Days On Market:
I am reporting these numbers without conviction as most of you know how I feel about the way the days on market stats were gathered. The MLS has made changes and from now on I expect this part of our report to be meaningful. In the meantime it is reported that Homes in Grantsville have been on the market an average of 57 days before they are sold. Over the last 30 days, Realtors and home owners removed 11 homes listed . The reasons were varied but included not being sold after more than 120 days.
Conclusions:
Overall, the resale home Real Estate market in Grantsville is in pretty good shape. The degree to which you think this is true depends on whether you are buying a home or needing to sell. Home buyers, if they show patience, have decent credit and a modest down payment can find tremendous home buys. Sellers however need to price their home realistically and not try to be a better marketer than the next door neighbor was, (18 months ago). If money was borrowed using the house as collateral, maybe the profit has already been spent, and selling for whats owed is a good deal. Outstanding investment opportunities can be had, but more of a long term nature than for short term flippers.
Each area is different and I would invite you to visit our blog over the next few days to see whats happening in Tooele City, Stansbury Park, Erda or Stockton See what they have to offer.
