Hello Rolando.  I hope all is well with you and your family.   I told you I would send you a testimonial (many moons ago) and I wanted to follow up on that.  Here it is:   I was having trouble selling my home with another realtor after the mortgage industry started to collapse.  My previous realtor recommended an inflated asking price that got me really excited, and then my home sat on the market for 6 months with little activity.  As the mortgage industry collapsed, the number of qualified buyers was decreasing as were home values.  I researched active realtors in my area and ones who really understands different parts of town who also had a lot of experience.  After speaking to several realtors, I chose Rolando Gill.  I asked him to give me an honest asking price that would sell my ho...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are probably aware of what’s going on with the government bail-out. It looks like there is going to be a $700 Billion bail-out of the economy. Experience shows that when the government gets involved in anything, prices go up. As the bailout is implemented, it’s likely that fees, points and even interest rates will start to go up. So right now there is an important window of opportunity. While Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are flush with new cash, they are able to purchase more loans from the banks. Also, because interest rates are quite reasonable right now, it is a great opportunity for someone who is looking to buy their first home, someone who is looking to move into a larger, more spacious home, or someone who is looking to buy investment pro...

Welcome to the beginning of my 2008 monthly real estate market report for West Valley City, Utah located in Salt Lake County. This report will be broken down into two different sections, one for Single Family Residence and the second for Condos.

West Valley City is located just west of Salt Lake City and is about 10-20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City.  West Valley is a young city.  It saw most of its growth after WWII and was incorporated in 1980.  The majority of homes were built in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.   This is a great place to find affordable homes in the valley.  It also has great new, clean, affordable condos like this one below made by Trophy Homes in 2003.              West Valley runs about 2100 South to 4700 South and 1300 West to 7200 West.  See map above from West Valley City's Homepage.  As of September 2007 there are approximately 478 residential properties on the market according to the WFRMLS.  Last month 71 properties sold for an absorption rate of 6.73.  The price range of sold properties for last m...

West Valley City Utah home sales went through a major transition in June. Home values continued to rise by 1.7% for the month of June and were 28% higher than they were in June 2006. In just the last 6 months West Valley home prices have increased by 15.6%. That is the biggest increase in the Salt Lake Metropolitan area. But, will the increases continue or will we begin to see some softening of prices? I think we will see a softening. Month Average Sold Price Change from Prior Year # of Homes sold Change from Prior Year Absorption Rate in Months 1ST Qtr $205,704 +34.4% 285 +1.4% NA April $210,477 +26.4% 100 -1.9% 3.9 May $215,472 +21.8% 145 +5.8% 2.8 June $219,032 +28.6% 84 -43.6% 5.1 2ND Qtr $214,111 +24.8% 339 -12.9% 4.1 The absorption rate, which is the leading indicator of real esta...

West Valley City is still one of the hottest home markets in Salt Lake County. Home values have increased every month in 2007 and in May were nearly 22% higher than what they were in May 2006. Not only are home values strong but the number of homes sold has stayed very close to 2006 record levels. West Valley is one of the few cities in Salt Lake County still considered a sellers market. Our absorption rate (the number of months it would take to sell the current inventory of home listings). is 3.0. anything below 5 is considered a sellers market. Check the Salt Lake County absorption rate chart and compare West Valley City. We expect the demand in West Valley to continue. It is a great community and its community leaders are growing it with a strong strategic plan. For more information ...

West Valley City Homes sold dips 16% while home values increase a staggering 33%!This is a quick analysis of the West Valley City residential Real Estate market comparing March 2006 home and condo sales activity to March 2007. Please be cautious in making any buy or sell decisions based on a single months analysis. Quarterly and trend analysis are much more meaningful that isolating a single month. But, it interesting to compare our statistics to what we see in national and regional activity and trends. March 2006March 2007Change %Homes Sold119100-15.97%Average Sold Price$158,055$210,051+32.90%Condos Sold57+40%Average Sold Price$141,000$147,128+4.35%Average Days On Market3130-3.23%West Valley City followed the national and local trend of a decline in the number of homes sold but from th...
