Utah is a top state for housing appreciation

Two national reports have recently ranked Utah in the top 10 for housing price increases. For the first quarter, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said Utah had the eighth-highest appreciation among states. The agency said Utah house prices increased about 3 percent from the same period a year earlier.

Similarly, CoreLogic ranked Utah in the top four for two of its rankings. Excluding distressed sales, like short sales and foreclosures, Utah’s 5.3 percent increase in prices was the highest in the country. Including distressed sales, Utah ranked No. 4 in appreciation at 5.4 percent.

If you know of anyone looking to buy or sell a home, I would love the
opportunity to talk with them. Thank you for thinking of me!

Now imagine a $200,000 or $300,000 home, with payments being made over the typical term of 15 or 30 years loan.   YEAR 30 YEAR MORTGAGE P&I PAYMENT ON Int erest Rate $100,000 Mortgage ______________________________ __________________ 2003    6.15%    $609.23 2004    5.75%    $583.57 2005    5.77%    $584.84 2006    6. 40%    $625.51 2007    6.38% ...
