Here in the Salt Lake Valley we have had tremendous growth in the real estate market. All throughout the valley we were seeing properties sell with multiple offers on it and sometimes going for higher than asking price but things have started to settle down a bit. We are still in a very strong market but we are seeing a lot of people "waiting until after the holidays." This means that sellers are not seeing as many buyers come through and this should continue until after Christmas. But for those buyers who are out looking right now, most of them are real and very strong. Many of them need to be here prior to Christmas therefore there might be great opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
