Over the years this is probable the number one question I get asked. Just what is the housing market doing today in Cedar City. If you are looking to purchase a home in Cedar City, Utah chances are this is a home you will be living in. While many real estate markets bring investors, the Cedar City community draws families interested in living here. With that being said, our local market is doing fine.

It's important to remember that real estate markets vary greatly depending on the location. Our Cedar City market is unique. Many families have relocated to this area for the quality of life our area offers. Our local prices have dropped some and this offers more families the opportunity to purchase their first family home.

Mortgage rates continue to be at a historical low. With the rates low this is an excellent time to purchase a home. Remember the tax advantages on mortgage interest, the long term investment benefits from home ownership make owning a home in Cedar City a wonderful choice.

For buyers this is a great time to buy. Whether you are purchasing your first home or purchasing your retirement home, today's market is great. If you need area comps or information on lots, acreage, please give me a call.

For sellers the news is also good. Remember in any real estate market it is essential to price your home according to the market. Homes are selling and I can sell your home. Let's get together and discuss the current housing market and how your home fits into today's real estate market.
