What Does the Government Mandates Mean for Real Estate in Utah? Is It Safe to Sell My Home?





In today’s real estate market, the buzz is all about how it’s a great time to sell your house. Buyer demand is high, and there simply aren’t enough homes available to buy to meet that growing need.


This means now is the time to make a move so you can close the deal on your ideal terms.

However, what does the government mandates mean for selling a home?


First, real estate is an essential business. People need to buy and sale and rent homes. Second, there are ways realtors are working hard - and I am working hard - to keep both buyers and sellers safe!


I have spent the majority of 2020 figuring out how to sell homes safely, and it’s paying off for those who are choosing to move this year.


Here are two things to make selling your house possible:

1. Implementing Technology While abiding by state and local regulations as a top priority, I am make home sales happen safely and effectively by leveraging key pieces of technology. For example, I use:

  • Virtual tours

  • Accurate and detailed listing information

  • Detailed neighborhood information

  • High-quality listing photos

  • High-quality video

This helps reduce the number of people entering your home, so only those who are very seriously interested need to take the next step: in-person showings.

2. Safe and Effective In-Person Showings After leveraging technology, if you have serious buyers who still want to see your house in person, we use several tools to keep you and your family safe:

  • Limiting in-person activity

  • R­­­equiring guests to wash their hands or use an alcohol-based sanitizer

  • Removing shoes or covering them with booties

  • Following CDC guidance on social distancing and wearing face coverings

Economist Jeff Tucker notes: “Homeowners who feel life is uncertain right now may think they can still get a strong

price if they delay selling until they have more clarity. The catch is that waiting to

sell may raise the cost of a trade-up. This fall's record low mortgage rates, which

make a trade-up more affordable on a monthly basis, are not guaranteed to last.”
