Apparently, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton, wants to tax the snowbirds even if they are no longer legally state residents.

If you missed the show it will be posted soon on the realestate-weekly.com website.

We have noticed an ever increasing trend in the Saint George Utah New Home Market where home builders are being forced to build “spec homes” because “to be built” listings have not been moving.   Here is an interesting news story from CNBC that explains the recent phenomenon.

The explanation lies in the fact that buyers are unwilling to carry two homes, so they are only beginning to look for a home once the home they own is under contract and that is the reason that homes that are underway are such hot sellers.  For more information check out this link from  CNBC….
