Prices for Weber County real estate are gradually softening each month even though buyers are taking their time chosing a home. If considering a move to this lovely area, I suggest you buy as soon as you are ready due to all the publicity in national magazines over the high adventure complex in downtown Ogden and the wonderful skiing, ice skating, and wilderness activities. Interest rates are still wonderful though they are expected to increase. It is a buyer's market more and more and qualified buyers are looking to Weber County for affordable housing.
