Salt Lake Real Estate

September 2007

Over the last few years the Salt Lake City Real Estate market has been very healthy with yearly price increases in the double digits. While the market remains strong compared to much of the rest of the United States, it has started to slow. The recent tightening of loan criteria for people with poor credit and those who are self-employed also continues impacted the market.

At the moment it is the Salt Lake City Real Estate mid to high price range properties that are taking longer to sell, and in some cases we are starting to see motivated sellers reduce listing prices. Homes under the $200,000 price and still selling very quickly and in some cases receiving multiple offers.
