The best feature in this home may not be what you’d expect. 👀

This West Valley City home offers a spacious layout, a large backyard, and an unfinished basement ready for whatever you envision—additional living space, a home gym, office, theater room, or all of the above.

But the real standout? A beautiful dining room surrounded by windows on three sides, filling the space with natural light all day long. ☀️

UNDER CONTRACT over asking in 7 days. But the story didn’t end there.

This Murray mid-century gem had all the right ingredients: a quiet cul-de-sac, mountain views, thoughtful updates, strategic staging, and a pricing strategy rooted in the market—not wishful thinking.

Then came the appraisal.

When it came in $15,000 below contract price, we didn’t panic. We built a detailed appraisal appeal, presented the data, and successfully had the value reconsidered to match the contract price.

Because getting a home under contract is only part of the job. Protecting your equity all the way to the closing table is where experience matters.

If you’re wondering what today’s market means for your next move, I can help you create a plan that makes sense for your goals.

I also need a fluffy latte and then more clients with impeccable taste🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly though… this is exactly why I love helping people buy along Salt Lake City’s East Bench. The lifestyle here is hard to beat — quiet streets, mature trees, canyon access, incredible light, and homes where the views become part of your everyday life.

And in this market, buying well takes more than scrolling Zillow. Strategy matters. Timing matters. Negotiation matters. Knowing which neighborhoods hold long-term value matters.

If you’re thinking about buying in Salt Lake City — whether that’s Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, Millcreek, Sandy Murray or Draper — I put together a Buyer’s Guide to help you understand the process, the market, and how to approach it strategically.

Comment “BUY” and I’ll send it over.

Not every home purchase starts with excitement.

Some start with a version of life you didn’t expect.

And still — decisions have to be made.

Where the kids will land.

What stability looks like now.

How to move forward, even when it’s not the timeline or circumstances you would have chosen.

This wasn’t about finding the “perfect house”.

It was about finding the right one —
for this chapter.

A place to land, and over time, a place to make his own.

This is often what real estate actually looks like, and I am so grateful for the clients who trust me to ride shotgun through the storm.

📲 If you’re facing a move that requires a more thoughtful approach, please reach out… I’d love to help you navigate those waters.

Some people need everything contained, sealed, predictable.

Others are comfortable carrying a little risk.

Not careless. Just… trusting themselves to handle it.

It’s funny how that shows up in real estate too.

Not all Realtors are the same.

But it’s not always obvious at the beginning.

It shows up later —

in pricing strategy, communication, negotiation, and how problems are handled when things don’t go exactly as planned (because they rarely do).

Some agents are focused on getting the listing.

Others are focused on getting you the outcome.

If you’re buying or selling in Salt Lake City — especially along the East Bench (Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Millcreek, Sandy, Draper) — who you choose matters more than most people realize.

There’s a reason so many of my clients end up choosing Cottonwood Heights… and it usually looks a lot like this.

Tree-lined streets. Mountain views that stop you mid-walk. Parks that feel tucked away, but are minutes from home.

It’s not just about the house here — it’s the lifestyle that comes with it.

On the East Bench — especially in Cottonwood Heights — you’ll find that rare balance of space, beauty, and access.

Quick canyon access for skiing, hiking, biking.

Established neighborhoods with character.

And a pace that just feels… easier.

This is the part people don’t fully understand until they live here.

If you’re thinking about moving to Salt Lake City and want a more grounded, lifestyle-driven option, this is where I’d start.

✨ And yes… it really does feel like this in real life.

Mortgage rates are dipping as we near the apex of the annual real estate cycle, alligning the stars for home buyers…if you have been thinking about a move, call me and let’s discuss your options!

Is now a good time to buy?

The 2025 homebuying season moved at a slower pace, giving the housing market room to shift. By late spring, listings passed 1 million, and inventory kept climbing through the summer, nearing pre-pandemic levels.

For buyers who are financially ready, this fall could be the perfect time to make a move. The best week to buy nationally is October 12–18, with nearby weeks also offering great opportunities. During this period, buyers can expect more listings, less competition, and potential savings of $15,000+ on a median-priced home.
