Utah breaks home sales record in 2016
More homes were sold in Utah during 2016 than ever before. According to a press release from the Utah Association of Realtors, real estate agents sold 49,399 homes, townhomes and condominiums, an increase of more than 800 sales compared to 2015. Summit County saw the largest price increase (19 percent) among counties with more than 200 sales. “Huge demand from buyers combined with low interest rates created incredibly high housing activity,” said DeAnna Dipo, 2017 president of the association, in the release. “While that momentum could lose some steam because of increases in home prices and interest rates, markets are still hot.”
