Short Sales on the rise in Utah

In case you haven't hear the news lateley, short sales in Utah are on the rise. In Salt Lake County Alone in March there were 1,650 short sales. That is 22% of the ALL the homes on the market. The good news is that the banks have finally figured out that they have to deal with the short sale process rather than waiting for the market to return. Now is the best time in recent years to get a good deal on a property in Utah. Prices have fallen, sellers are motivated, interest rates are still low for those that qualify (more on this later).
