Logan Real Estate Values Remain Stable

If you're one of the many Cache County real estate owners anxious for real estate values to finally rise again, you may be waiting for a few more years. One of the key factors that causes real estate appreciation is the number of homes for sale in relation to the number of buyers. When supply (houses for sale) is down, home prices go up. When supply exceeds demand, prices fall. The current 734 homes for sale in Cache County marks the highest inventory level we've seen since September of 2011. The good news is that the number of pending home sales (under contract properties) are also rising. The number of buyers are increasing at about the rate of inventory, meaning that until economic factors change, real estate values will remain steady.
