Hire a Springville Utah Realtor

Are you looking for a local Springville Realtor?  Paul Teasdale has been selling homes in Springville Utah for 18 years.  Paul has lived in the Springville/Mapleton for about 14 years.  Paul is familiar with the schools, neighborhoods, restrictions, city and recreational activities.  It is often difficult to shop with a Realtor in Springville that is from Salt Lake City or some other area.  A local Springville Realtor can really help you find that piece of land or home you are looking for.

Would you like to review the Statistical Inventory of Homes for Sale in Mapleton, Utah?

When you find a good home for sale Springville, Utah that is a match are you ready to make an offer?  Take note that making a purchase offer is different from actually purchasing the home.  These are two separate actions that you must undertake when buying a home in Springville.  In Utah County we use the standard Real Estate Purchase contract that is approved by the Utah County Association of Realtors.

Should you write an offer on a property in Springville, Utah?

If you really like the home in Springville, UT then the answer is yes, you should immediately make a purchase offer on it.  This is especially so if you see something special about it or if you find that it is a good buy.  Don’t kid yourself into thinking that you are the only one who noticed.  If you saw it, chances are somebody else saw it too and he may just be able to buy it before you do if you do not make a purchase offer.

If you are still hesitant about making a purchase offer on the house, you can still make a purchase offer with much more confidence if you add some provisions on it that will allow you to cancel the transaction and get back your money deposit.  A typical offer on a home includes several contingencies.  A few contingencies are, appraisal, financing and inspection.  A buyer typically has a right to cancel a contract based on the dates set forth in the contract.  A buyer can cancel up until these dates but not after.  If you cancel after the dates have passed you may lose your earnest money deposit.

Below is a copy of page one of the Real Estate Purchase contract for buying a home in Utah County.  The typical offer without addendums has 6 full pages.  If you are looking for a full copy of the real estate purchase contract contact Team Teasdale Realty.  If you just have questions about the purchase contract feel free to call us and ask our opinions.  If you are looking for legal advise contact a real estate attorney.

Advantages of making an offer first on a home

The best reason to make a purchase offer as soon as you can is that it increases your chances of becoming the owner of the home in Springville Utah.  It acts as some sort of reservation for the property because once you make the purchase offer the seller accepts it, he will no longer be able to accept any other offers from other buyers until you cancel it.  If he does accept another offer, it will only be as a backup.  That offer will only be considered if and when your transaction with the seller does not push through.

Making a purchase offer early also increases the chances that your offer is the first offer received.  This is very important because other buyers usually shy away from making their own offers once they know that someone has already made one.  When this happens, the buyer will be under more pressure to sell the home in Springville because you will be the sole offer he has thus he would be more willing to accept it.  You will have more leverage for negotiating the deal and you will have a better chance of getting your home at a bargain.  If you make an offer and multiple offers appear on the home you may have to raise your price to the asking price or above the asking price to get the home.

Disadvantages of making an offer on a home you are not sure you want.

Of course, there are also disadvantages of making an early purchase offer.  The biggest one would be the cost.  Once a purchase offer is made, the costs for the appraisal of the house in Springville UT, the production of the credit report, and the costs for the home inspection will usually fall on the prospective buyer.  All of these costs are non-refundable and will be deducted from the earnest money deposit that was given early on.  Other costs, such as closing costs and title policies, are usually also waived once the purchase offer is cancelled.  Lastly, though the rest of the earnest money deposit will be returned, it could take up to 30 days for you to receive it.

Making offers can be confusing and it depends how you make your purchase offer. There are advantages and disadvantages regarding making a purchase offer and you might want to consider getting a Realtor to help you decide whether or not to make an offer.

In that regard, you need to call Paul Teasdale from Team Teasdale Realty. He has been in the real estate business for over 17 year and is experienced in selling homes in the Springville Utah area. Are you looking to get a loan for a home in the Springville or Mapleton area?  A quarter of the homes in Spanish Fork Utah have offers.

Currently we have 218 homes for sale in Springville Utah and 51 Under Contract.  The real estate market is really moving in Utah County.  The market is healthier than it has been in the past five years since the economic depression started.  Our area has really gone through some rough times with a ton of bank foreclosures and short sales in Springville Utah.

The number of homes for sale in Utah County has dropped from around 4,000 homes for sale this time last year to 2,798 home for sale today.  The inventory is declining and the percentage of sales is rising.  The chart below represents active listings in Utah County and the percentage of listed homes that are selling each month.

The listing inventory has fallen off a cliff.  If listing inventory drops and the number of buyers increase we will see a major market shift.  This is simple economics of supply and demand.  Prices will increase and the market will catch fire again.

Average Sale Price of Springville Utah Homes

The graph below show the average sale price of homes for sale in Utah County.  You can see the average sale price is currently hovering around $200k.  The average sales price has moved from close to $300k per year all the way down to $200k.  This is a huge drop.  I believe the drop is over and the average sale price will increase over the next two years.  The market has been hammered for the past five years and it is showing major life since 2012 began.

Sales Price of Homes in Springville Compared to Sold Price

The graph below represents the median sales and sold price of homes in Utah County.  The closer the sales price is to the sold price the healthier the market.  You can see in 2008 and 2009 these lines were far apart.  The market and prices were correcting downward.  Prices felt more stable in 2010 and 2011 and these lines grew closer together.  Notice in 2012 the median sale or sold is sharply increasing.

If you are buying a home in Springville Utah you may want to do it soon.  Rates are low at around 4% and inventory is decreasing.  Prices are also on the rise. In my opinion we are hitting a real estate bottom in Springville considering the past five years.  If this is true we may see a short squeeze on prices and inventory over the next few years in Springville Utah.  If you are selling call me and I will give you a free comparative market analysis (CMA) regarding your homes value.  I have been living in Mapleton/Springville area for over 12 years and been selling homes here for 17 years.

All commissions in real estate are negotiable.  This is something that you should always remember if you are in the market for selling your home or property in Springville, Utah. From this fact, many brokers and Realtors in Springville have come up with different strategies to define their own niche in the market and to attract more clients.  These real estate brokers usually promise big savings for potential clients and sometimes even offer rebate commissions that are very attractive to homeowners looking to sell their properties in Springville, UT.

Here are some examples which show how discount real estate brokers in Springville, Utah operate in different ways:

Using “Flat Fees” for Listing Services in Springville, Utah

This type of discount advertising is usually misleading and disadvantageous to the seller.  Brokers who offer to list properties in Springville, UT at a flat rate usually do not disclose up front that these flat fees do not include the cooperating fee or the fee that is paid to the broker.  The cooperating fee can be anything you want but most homes on the Wasatch Front MLS in Utah is 3%.  Thus, in this type of setup, the seller usually ends up paying more than the advertised price.  A spin-off of this type of discount brokerage is the offer to list a property in Springville at a low percentage which may be just 1 or 2%.  Just like the flat fee brokerage, the catch here is that there are additional fees that will be charged to the seller that are not mentioned up front.

Providing Buyer Commission Rebates in Springville, Utah

This type of discount broker offers to give a portion of its commission or income to the buyer in the hopes that more buyers in Springville, Utah will ask for their services.  Thus, in order to earn, this discount broker must get a big enough number of clients to allow it to be able to afford the rebates. This is quite a good situation for both the buyer and the broker in the sense that both of them will be earning.  The only drawback here is that this discount broker might not be able to give more personalized service because they will be too busy trying to get more clients into their doors.  The biggest problem with a Realtor giving rebates is the service is often lousy.

Using Graduated Fees in Springville, Utah

Some discount brokers in Springville UT will offer clients the option to choose how much fees they should pay according to how much service they want.  For example, if you only need help from the broker in producing signs and other marketing materials while you handle the rest of the work, you will only be charged a minimal sum.  However, if you need them to handle additional work such as putting your Springville property on an MLS or take calls and negotiate with agents, you will be charged additional fees.  Thus, in this type of setup, you can better manage your budget.

Providing Reduced Broker Fees to get Additional Transactions in Springville, Utah

Discount brokers of this type are thinking they would be able to get back the discounts they give to the clients in Springville, UT if the clients hire them for additional services.  For example, a discount broker is usually willing to lower down his fees if the client agrees to hire him to help in buying a home in Springville after he has hired the same broker to help in selling his previous property.

If you’re convinced that indeed commissions are negotiable, why not give Team Teasdale Realty a call? They will surely be glad to answer any of your questions. For over 17 years, Paul Teasdale has been selling properties in Springville, Utah. If there’s any question that you want answered, you can be sure that they can deliver.

The usual call to buyers, whether buying a cheeseburger at a local fast food restaurant or buying a new home in Springville, Utah, is to up size it or to buy something bigger with just a small increase in the price.  This could certainly be a very welcome promotional gimmick for the hungry customer who is lined up at the fast food restaurant but it may not be the best think to do when it comes to the home you are planning to buy in Springville.  Of course, there are always 2 sides to a story so read on to know more about the advantages and disadvantages of home downsizing in Springville, UT.

Advantages to Home Downsizing In Springville, Utah

Downsizing to a smaller home in Springville, Utah can mean more cash for you.  If you are able to sell your current larger home before you buy the newer, smaller one in Springville, you might even be able to pay for your new home in cash while pocketing a significant amount.  Paying for the smaller home in cash means no mortgage payments to worry about and more cash to use for other expenses with every paycheck.  A smaller home would also generate much less maintenance costs and utility bills.  A smaller home would have a lot less rooms to clean and a lot less floor space and roof area to maintain and repair.  Furthermore, it costs much less to heat or cool a smaller home compared to a larger one.

More Time, Less Stress When Downsizing

Having a smaller home in Springville, Utah means you will have less household chores to attend to.  You will have fewer rooms to clean, a smaller floor to vacuum, and less windows to wash.  With all of these chores needing less time to accomplish, you will have a lot more time to relax and do things you really enjoy.  You will have more time to play your favorite sports or to walk around your neighborhood in Springville.  You will feel a lot more relaxed with the extra time that you get from downsizing your home and you will feel a lot less stressed.

Simpler and Greener Home in Springville, Utah

A small home will have a limited space for furniture and appliances. This means that your home in Springville, UT will consume less energy and will produce less pollution.  Your new smaller home would be better for the environment than your previous larger home.

Disadvantages to Home Downsizing  in Springville, Utah

Limited space to bring in old furniture and receive guests.  Having a limited space is an advantage for the homeowners in Springville, Utah who want to simplify their life but it can be a big disadvantage to those who already own a lot of furniture and appliances and are reluctant to part with them.  Additionally, a smaller home would not be able to provide the space needed to host parties and events.  The limited space would be a big disadvantage for people who regularly receive out of town guests or who regularly host family reunions and gatherings.

Less Prestige in Springville, Utah

Many homeowners consider their home as an indication of their success and their prestige.  A small home in Springville, Utah would not be able to show off the prestige of its owner as much as a large home would. Thus, having a small home is quite disadvantageous for people who consider it very important to maintain an image of their success directly connected with their home in Springville, UT. A person should never connect their success with something material like house.  Unfortunately, many people do connect their success with the size of their homes.

You can start hiring your Realtor now. If you are planning to downsize your home and you are having a hard time looking for the right property, consider calling Team Teasdale Realty. Whether you plan to relocate to downsize or not, Paul Teasdale will be able to help you get the house suitable for your needs.
