This time of year brings a new tax accession, and a lot of homes taxes are going up.  Property tax increases are based a homes value, not the increase of local government taxes.  As home values increase so do their assessed values, and that means taxes are going up.

"The National Taxpayers Union estimates that as much as 60% of taxable property in the U.S. is over assessed."  Despite the large number of homeowners taxes going up, only half of those homeowners protest their assessments.  This means that their are a lot of homeowners out there paying too much for their property taxes.

All real estate markets are local, and the Logan Utah real estate market is no different.  You may hear in the news that every market is a buyers market, great deals are to be had, and you should never offer full price on a property.  I am here to tell you, you better think again.

Here's Why:

Over the last 3 weeks I have noticed big changes in the Logan real estate market. What I mean is, 3 weeks ago there were over 850 homes on the Logan Utah MLS.  As I check the MLS today, there are only 710 properties that are active.  In just 3 weeks our real estate market has shrunk by 140 properties.
