Cedar City real estate

March 26, 2008 by Jon Christianson.

The Cedar City real estate market is picking up steam early this spring. The summer time brings people from nearby cities looking to escape the heat and crowds. Many of the people realize the potential for not only recreational enjoyment, but for real estate investment potential. Brian Head, Duck Creek, and Panguitch Lake offer great ameneties, activities, and good real estate prices on vacation property. Compare to other recreational areas and you will see that Southern Utah not only has generally lower prices, but much lower amounts of congestion. Our ski resorts, lakes, and streams aren’t nearly as crowded as other getaway destinations in the West. Come take advantage of all that this beautiful area has to offer.

Spring in the Southern Utah mountains near Cedar City

March 25, 2008 by Jon Christianson.

Spring has hit in the Southern Utah mountains. However, there is still snow and some mud in the Duck Creek area and people are still skiing at Brian Head Ski Resort. The ground is dry in Cedar City and now is the perfect time to look at land and existing homes/cabins. The real estate market here is picking up and the hot Las Vegas summers always bring people to the mountains looking for their perfect retreat. The weather is getting warm in the mountains and soon the evening freezes will not be every night. If you have been thinking about buying or selling property in the Brian Head, Cedar City, Duck Creek, Panguitch Lake or surrounding areas now is a great time to get into the market. Buyer interest is up for this time of year and the real estate market is much firmer in recreational areas typically than in residential areas.

Recreational real estate offers people their own vacation spot and is potentially a great investment

March 16, 2008 by Jon Christianson.

In residential real estate markets around the country defaulted home owners, banks, and other sectors of the industry have been trying to reel in this current housing market situation. People in some places are upside down, mortgage brokers have gone out of business, and the list goes on. Recreational real estate markets offer something a little different for investors. In the rocky mountains, on the beaches of oceans, lakes, etc., there is a demand for destination properties. Sellers in these markets often times have owned for a number of years, have stable loans, and some even outright own their property. You have people with all types of financial situations in any real estate market, but typically the sellers in recreational markets enjoy their property and will hold a little firmer on price. Many have the attitude they will keep enjoying their property until someone comes along and buys it. This factor not only has the potential of keeping prices stronger but it also keeps up demand. There is a limited supply of nice land tracts available in recreational areas. I specialize in recreational real estate in the Southern Utah mountains. I watch the news and really don’t relate to the gloom and doom in the media. I am still busy working with buyers and sellers. This time of year is actually busier than it usually is. Many people have contacted me and expressed their interest of touring properties this spring, summer, and fall. This year is looking like it is going to be a hot one for cool mountain getaway property near Las Vegas, Nevada. Now is a great time to tour properties in this area. Early spring offers buyers first picks on the years selection of listings in the mountains before the summer season. If you have been thinking of a cool summer getaway like a cabin at the lake or a condo on the slopes, visit http://SouthernUtahEstates.com and learn more about this real estate market and the services I offer.

Buyer Services

March 16, 2008 by Jon Christianson.

Buying a vacation home or property in the mountains can be one of the most enjoyable experiences. As your agent I understand the scope of what you are going through because I have been there. I originally started coming to Utah from Las Vegas on weekends before I became a resident. There are very few people who know the mountains here as well as I do. I not only know the real estate market here, I recreate in the mountains and have been my whole life. I have lived in this area for almost ten years and spent much of my youth exploring this area as well. When I am not working you can find me fishing, atving, hiking, or enjoying other activities in the area. Southern Utah has vast remote and pristine areas if you know where to look. As your agent I listen to not only your home criteria but what type of outdoor activities and ambiance do you want to have at your cabin or property. As a full time agent I sell millions of dollars in property every year. I have been a full time agent since I started in real estate. I have been a member of the Coldwell Banker International Sterling Society of Top Producing agents throughout the world. I was also a rookie of the year. My success allows me to focus on my clients needs and provide an unbiased and pressure free presentation of properties. Choose an agent that has you in mind.There are many factors involved with finding what you are looking for. The numerous subdivisions, county parcels, and lease lands all have different circumstances regarding year around access, water, utilities, etc. As your agent I will guide you through the process of locating the mountain property of your choice. I cooperate with other agencies and I will give you the pros and cons of any listings. Once we find the property you are looking for I will protect your best interests through the whole process of the offer, due diligence, escrow, and close of the transaction. I enjoy what I do and so I don’t need to hard sell or pressure buyers. I just show the properties that best suit your needs and that you are interested in.

I enjoy helping people discover all that this area has to offer. I cover the whole mountain so that we can find the area that is best for you. The areas I service include Brian Head, Duck Creek, Panguitch Lake and the surrounding areas. I would love to be your agent and assist you in finding the perfect piece of property in our area. I can be reached at 1 (435) 691-5184 email at sold@southernutahestates.com

Seller Services

March 16, 2008 by Jon Christianson.

Selling a house doesn’t have to be hard or frustrating. Many of my clients are very satisfied with the service and representation they receive. Chose an agent that works with buyers. Many agents spend all their time listing property. Listings are very important but without lots of buyers other agents just have lots of inventory and rely on other agents (like myself) to actually sell the home. There are numerous polished agents in the area with flashy websites and they seem to promise the world. I bring honesty, experience, integrity, and a dominating marketing plan to sell your property. I sell most of my own listings and I sell lots of other agents listings as well. I have been a full time agent since I started in real estate. I have been member of the Coldwell Banker International Sterling Society of top producing agents throughout the world. I was also a rookie of the year. I have a thorough understanding of the market, the business, and most importantly I have an intricate knowledge and love of the areas I work.

In today’s Southern Utah market many buyers are coming from outside of the area. Roughly 3/4 of buyers turn to the internet first to search. That is why you need an agent that markets heavily on the internet as well as in print and other forms of advertising. I have an optimized website for all the keyterms and areas I work in. Your listing will be featured on Realtor.com, local Coldwell Banker sites, Iron County MLS IDX internet search, and all of my sites as well to maximize your properties exposure to buyers. Many second home buyers do not know very much about our areas and I provide the knowledge to help buyers find a second home in the area that is right for them. I service the whole mountain so your property is exposed to people looking all over the area. I cooperate with other brokerages and agents so your home should be exposed to their clients as well.

Many agents tell clients what they want to hear (price wise for example) just to get the listing. I am honest and dedicated to “selling” your property not just “listing” it. Choose an agent that does more than just put a sign in the yard and an ad in the paper. Selling property should be an exciting and smooth experience. I am honest and protect your interests throughout the listing, presentations, negotiations, escrow and close of the transaction. I work hard to make sure that my clients are receiving the best representation. I enjoy seeing the happiness of a buyer and the satisfaction of the sellers knowing they got a fair shake. All of these things are what I bring to the table and that is why my services are valuable. So when you decide to list you home give me a call to put my marketing in place for you. I would like to welcome you to be apart of this exciting opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you. If you wish to get a free current market analysis of your real estate holdings, then please email at sold@southernutahestates.com or give me a call and I would be glad to discuss your property with you.

Cedar City real estate market has great selection and potential for buyers

March 16, 2008 by Jon Christianson.

If you have been thinking about a second home in the Cedar City area now is a great time to shop. The area has not been hit as hard with foreclosures as other parts of the country. With sellers and banks being very competitive for buyers and a nice inventory of listings to search through the boat is still boarding. There are potential buyers in any real estate market and as the old saying goes “the early bird catches the worm” so goes the best deals. A portion of the buyers out there are always waiting for either prices, rates, or the “perfect” property. I have met buyers who have been on the fence for years and just watched as recreational real estate went up over time. The current real estate conditions in this market are stronger than many others right now and there is potential for long term gains in recreational, residential, land, and commercial real estate in the Southern Utah and Cedar City areas.
