More great news for the Utah Real
Estate market. According to a report in the Sunday edition of the Salt Lake
tribune, Utah Bank Owned and foreclosed property has declined nearly 49% in the
first quarter of this year, compared with the same three-month period in 2011.
As a Salt Lake Realtor, whom pays
special attention to the local Real Estate market, I could not be more pleased
with the number of positive reports indicating a recovering housing market.

Nationally, the number of homes receiving some type of foreclosure-related
action - a notice of default, auction or repossession by a lender - was down 16%
according to foreclosure listing firm Realty Trac Inc.  The declines do not
neccessarily mean that the foreclosure crisis is over in Utah. Nor do the
declines indicate that a surge in Home prices can be expected anytime soon.  In
Utah and Nationally it will take years for the Bank
Owned property and foreclosure mess to level out.

  The news does indicate to many Real Estate professionals that the bottom of
the housing crisis and falling prices has passed. It is still a very good time
to Buy a home in Draper,
Salt Lake City, Sandy or Holladay. For many Home buyer who have been sitting
