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:...
"The Phoenix market" is really four or five markets stacked on top of each other. A $420,000 house in Mesa and a $900,000 house in North Scottsdale aren't competing for the same buyers, and they aren't moving at the same speed. So if you're thinking about selling,...
You've decided. The house goes on the market this winter, snow or not. Maybe the new job starts in February. Maybe you bought the next place already. Either way, the question isn't whether to list. It's how to keep a December listing from turning into a March...
If you own a house in Kaysville, Layton or Bountiful, you've probably noticed the yard signs are staying up longer. Your neighbor's place went on in August. It's still there. So is the Davis County housing market turning on sellers? The September numbers are in,...
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...

You close on a brand-new house. Nobody has ever scuffed the baseboards. Then, a few months in, a crack shows up over a doorway and the back patio starts to tilt. So who fixes it? Most buyers assume "the warranty" does. In Utah, the honest answer depends on a...
You've got a number in your head. Maybe it's the Zestimate you screenshotted in spring 2022. Maybe it's what the house two doors down sold for that summer, when buyers were writing love letters and waiving appraisals. That number is the hardest thing to let go of...
