Demand
|
Orem
real estate demand
has declined by 31%,
comparing the first
half of 2007 with
the same period in
2008.
However, Orem has
one of the
lowest average
number of days a
condo stays on the
market until sold
within the county.
It takes 12 days
less to sell a
condominium in Orem than the
state average of 65
days. The 192 condos
sold over the past
year represent
20% of the total
condominiums sold in
Utah County. The
designation of UVSC
now as Utah Valley
University should
slowly increase the
student market for
condos, both sales
and rentals.
We expect more condo
developments near
the I-15 corridor to
accommodate the
growing student
population. |
