Right now going around Cache Valley is a guy named Shawn Phillips, who claims to have a company “Shawn Global.” He has made several offers on half million dollar houses that he has never even seen. He makes the offer remotely, sets up inspection appointments, then won’t keep his appointments to ever see them. He typically says he will put down $20,000-$100,000 in Earnest Money, but surprisingly never actually provides the check.

Why he does this? Perhaps he really think he will magically come up with the money to buy the Cache Valley Homes, or maybe he’s just desperate for attention. I don’t know what his motive is, but the result is a lot of discouraged sellers. Logan Real Estate sellers get excited to finally get an offer, especially on these high end homes, but then get devastated when they realize that they have wasted their time and don’t really have a legitimate offer.

The police can’t really do anything about it, because he’s not really breaking any laws. But it is really annoying, especially if sellers start making moving plans for their next home because they think their house will sell.

With that in mind, you don’t have to spend a fortune to do this. In fact, you can make your home appealing even on a budget. Here’s a few ways:

Just two weeks ago, there were 718 active residential listings in Cache County. That’s a net list vs. under contract of more than two new listings a day. At the rate we are going, we will likely see a record number of homes on the market, and will see more than 900 listings at once by the time summer hits.

In comparison, last  year Cache County had less than 700 homes on the market. February of 2008 had 514 homes listed, and February of 2007 had around 400 listed homes, almost half the number we have right now.

It is possible that many of these homes were listed by people who want to take advantage of the move up tax credit. If this is the case, after April we may see a reduction in Logan Utah Real Estate inventory.

This buyers market will only last so long though. If you want to take advantage of the large selection, tax credits, and really low interest rates. Start your search for Logan Utah Homes for Sale now, whether you’re looking for an affordable Rodeo Drive Condo or a New Home in Smithfield Utah.
