You know what your car is worth in about two minutes. Your house, likely the biggest thing you own, somehow feels harder to pin down. So it's fair to ask whether there's a Kelley Blue Book for houses, and whether it works in Utah and the Phoenix metro. The answer...
One headline says Phoenix prices are still rising. Another says sales just fell 40%. Your neighbor in Glendale cut her price twice. So which is it? Both headlines can be true at once, because they measure different things. Here's what each number says as of late...
You walk through your house with a buyer's eyes and suddenly everything looks like a project. The dated kitchen. The carpet. That crack in the driveway. Take a breath. Most of that list matters less than you think, and a few boring items matter more. Short answer:...

Drive around Sandy or West Jordan this month and count the yard signs. You're not imagining it. There are more of them than there have been in years, and a lot of those signs have been standing a while. If you're about to list, that's your competition. If you're...
Your home is worth seven figures. Congratulations. Now you have to find someone who can actually write that check, at a 7% mortgage rate, while more of your neighbors are listing too. The top of Utah's market doesn't behave like the middle. Fewer buyers qualify,...
You've been watching St. George listings for months. Some of the same houses are still up. A few have quietly dropped their price. And you're starting to wonder if you finally have some room to push. You might. But "buyer's market" gets thrown around loosely, so we...
