  Mortgage rates In Tooele County, Utah as well as around the country are inching up and in some cases they are more than inching, they are skyrocketing. Homes for sale In Stansbury Park, Grantsville and Tooele UT became more costly to buy in just a few hours of Home Mortgage rate volatility last week. To see what I'm talking about visit these blogs from our Salt Lake office. Want a lower interest rate? Mortgage rates increase, house payments up! I hope you haven't been caught without a loan commitment or a home to apply it to.  Even though we have blogged about this almost every week, we are not going to say "we told you so" if you seem to have been left behind. What we will say though is GET ON IT AND GET ON IT TODAY !    It may not be too late!! Heres what to do! Step 1.   Call us to...

  When you Buy a New Home in Stansbury Park, Utah, you get all the incentives. If you hurry you can buy a New Home or Condominium in Stansbury Park and qualify for the $6,000 dollar New Home Incentive.( there is only so much money available so you need to get moving before that money is gone) If this is your first home or you haven't owned a home in the last 3 years, you can probably qualify for the Federal First Home Buyer Tax Incentive. That's another $ 8,000 in savings for your family. Actually you can take advantage of these incentives in a number of Utah Communities, but I mention Stansbury Park, because it's a bedroom community to Salt Lake City, its a great place to live and it offers the most New Home inventory in Tooele County. Look at the New Home Choices In Stansbury Park: Fi...

Buying a New Home in Stansbury Park is the best deal yet!! It's the best New Home deal In the Area ? And if it's an Ivory Home @ Benson Mill Crossing It even gets better. On Cories Salt Lake blog yesterday, she was touting  the new Ivory promotion where they match the new government $8,000 gift for first time home buyers with $8000 dollars of their own. When you add the 2 together, you have a package worth $16,000 dollars.  But wait, there's more !!! Ivory also offered a 30 year fixed rate interest percentage of 4.5% for a limited time on all of their single family homes, town-homes and Condominiums for sale along the Wasatch Front. So Corie was almost right, that is a great package. But it's not THE BEST. It's not the BEST, because if you don't have a down payment what do you do? You g...

Just think about it, a new year just around the corner, and still time to buy a New Home in Stansbury Park. I know, you can't believe you can select a neighborhood, pick a floor plan apply for financing, and close your new home in time for a New Years housewarming. I didn't either but then I looked at the "shadows" post on Cories blog and saw what Richmond America was doing over on that side of the mountain, and got pretty excited. If they can do it we can do it!  BETTER ! We've got them beat hands down. In all four categories. FINANCING:Sure they have a special 4.5% FHA financing option with an interest rate on a 30 year mortgage. (5.1434% APR) but so do we. What they don't have is 100% financing  available throughout Tooele County. QUICK CLOSING:I don't know why I let the fact that it...

This is just between you and me.  I don't think the three major New Home builders in Stansbury know it. I think Richmond American Homes knows they have a great product in a great area (Stansbury Place, Picket Lane, Starside). I think Fieldstone Homes is sure that they build "big homes, small prices" in a wonderful neighborhood (Stansbury Place).  I am sure that Ivory Homes touts the fact that you can buy a beautiful New Townhome from $150,000 in their new mixed use development Benson Mill Crossing, adjacent to a significant Utah landmark;  Benson's Grist Mill. We all knew that you say. !!! O.K., but did you know  that in 1855, a community that had built up around the mill was  called RICHVILLE?. Did you know that that  little Community  once was the Tooele County seat,(until 1861)???  D...

I matured before Stansbury Park did (or at least I got older) . Let me explain, I'm from an old Real Estate family, and the dream of building a golfing community at the entrance of Tooele Valley was talked about at my house back in the days when a Stansbury golf coarse lot was $5,000, Millpond Condominiums were selling for $27,000 and most Utahns thought that the mosquito was the national bird of Stansbury Park. The dreamers were all part of a young  company called Terra-Corp.(they didn't get much older).  Terra-Corp was successful in Southern Utah with a development called Bloomington, and saw no reason why that concept would not be as successful as a bedroom community just 26 miles from Salt Lake City. The problem was,(in those days) there was a lot of undeveloped land between Salt L...

I came across a blog yesterday on Active Rain called Know thy Neighborhood  It's about Agents from out of the area listing houses or helping someone buy a home, and why it's not a good Idea. It reminded me of my past rantings about Stansbury Park, and the number of out of area listing agents and why I dont think thats a good Idea. I can understand why the agent wants to do it, I just cant understand why any one would think it made sense to let them do something they are not qualified to do. No matter what I say though, it still happens.  Sooo, in the spirit of co-operation, and to show that I am a team player, I have a short list of things I have found that your agent should know (some haven't) that will save us all and your buyers some disappointments.  You probably wont believe them. ...
