Ogden, Utah – Real Estate Market Report As we come down to the final quarter of the year 2010, I wanted to post some numbers for the last 120 days. The Ogden, Utah area is still running at about a 15 month supply of homes on the market with 593 homes currently listed for sale, and about 61 homes closing each month. The available inventory has increased over the last 12 months, from about 10 months supply to what it is now. I believe part of the difference was a small blip encouraged by the TAX CREDIT earlier in the year.   Here's a snapshot of how it looks right now: Homes On The Market Homes on the Market :593 Price ranges: $13,900 to $990,000 Median Price: $124,900 Homes Under Contract: 109 Homes Selling per month: 61   Last 120 days (Homes That SOLD) Homes Sold; 310 Price Ranges $24... 09/16/2010

Ogden, Utah Has It's First Infrared Certified Home Inspector.   Infrared Technology used during a home inspection allows the most in-depth and advanced home inspection available. The public is quickly catching on to the amazing benefits provided by an Infrared Inspection. Once a home buyer uses an Infrared Home Inspector there is little to know chance of them ever returning to the "peek an poke" flashlight inspection.   Infrared Home Inspections are the same cost of a flashlight inspection yet offer nearly double the benefits. We are seeing many home inspectors holding back on buying infrared cameras due to the substantial costs of the equipment. A quality FLIR triple fusion Infrared Camera like the ones we use on every inspection at Power Check costs about $11k dollars. Yes, that's ver... 08/29/2010

Ogden Utah Commercial Property Inspections The purchasers of commercial properties often overlook the importance of a professional inspection — a surprising omission for a major investment of this kind. Yet the same buyers would never purchase a home without a detailed physical evaluation. For some reason, there is a perceived difference between residential and commercial properties where defect disclosure is involved. Commercial buildings are prone to all the same defects likely to be found in a residence: roof problems, issues with plumbing, electrical, and heating systems, faulty site drainage, foundation settlement, safety glass violations, trip hazards, and more. The bottom line is clear: Commercial real estate is expensive. It pays to know what you’re buying before you buy it. Buy... 05/31/2010
