Wasatch Back Land Statistics

Good morning everyone hope you are doing great and having a wonderful weekend.

It was great to have a Memorial weekend and celebrate this country and our freedoms and everything last weekend, hope you had a great Memorial weekend.

Anyway I want to get back into some real estate and just give you some information. I am in Wasatch County, actually in Wallsburg, I’m on a client’s two acre parcel that he has for sale and just a gorgeous area. He’s got two acres here and then a back two acre parcel also, both of them buildable.

Wasatch County is just an incredible place. I know we hear a lot about the Wasatch Front, Lehi it was on the news that it’s the 11th fastest growing city in the United States. So the Wasatch
Front a lots happening but the Wasatch Back is also have a lot going on.

So let me just tell you a little bit really quick about some statistics here in Wasatch County which includes Wallsburg where I’m at right now. I had some clients from the East Coast that we’re asking me this week what’s happening and you know they’ve heard news about what’s happening in Utah.

Looking at properties in Wasatch County that have five acres or more in 2015 there were 31 parcels that sold and it was for a total volume value of 18.8 million. Last year there were 37 parcels five acres or greater that sold for a volume of 21.8 million.

So far this year we’ve had 14 parcels sell for a volume of 9.1 million. There’s 12 under contract so in the next 30 to 60 or 90 days those are you know probably likely to close the majority of them. Out of
those 12 six of them are a million dollars or more so within the next 60-90 days we could be at or surpassing last year’s volume with another four or five months left to go in the year.

So anyway, Wasatch County, Summit County is kind of a similar story but there’s a lot going on here if you have any interest give me a call, shoot me a message or a text. I’d love to help you find some property there’s a lot of property that is less than five acres for sale.

As I looked at these statistics as my friend was asking me what was happening here in Utah and development wise those are parcels that typically are going to be subdivided or developed.

Now here in Wallsburg these two two acre parcels are buildable but you’re not going to subdivide them. I do have 1500 acres up here on the mountain if you want a little bit bigger area and you can put probably you know one big nice home or a few you know 200-acre homes 160 acres and there’s a lot of other parcels here in Wallsburg as well as Heber, Midway, Kamas, well Kamas is Summit County that’s another story we’ll talk about that another time.

So anyway you guys have a great weekend and get into the Wasatch back it’s just beautiful about 10 to 15 degrees cooler usually too so it’s wonderful. I’m a little biased, but I love
it up here.

Take care!

Life Revisions

I have a son that regularly asks me to read and critique English class papers and I’m happy to do it.  I think going through and revising a well written English paper is useful to a student to learn and improve their writing skills.

Every few years my wife and I revise our will.  As my mother always told me, that her last check before dieing will bounce, so no need to fight over her will.  We are a long ways from that, but still a revision every now and then is important.

In my work as a realtor we are consistently making revisions to contracts through addenda to the contract.

I understand that life is full of revisions, however one report that is consistently revised downward and often by a large percentage and not within a small deviation.  This initial report has the power to influence investors around the world bringing them joy and jubulation or anger and angst.  Then when the revision is made, as stated previously, often quite a large revision, hardly no one notices. 

This initial report is the ADP National Employment Report.  This report actually came out yesterday and said that 139,000 new jobs were created in February, which is below the 150,000 expected.  The January number was ‘revised’ yesterday from 175,000 new jobs reported initially to an actual 127,000 new jobs. 

The ADP report is consistantly revised after its intial report and as much as I believe in revising things to either to learn or to fit the changing circumstances, the ADP report to me has come to mean very little.  So if you don’t like the current ADP report just wait awhile, it will likely be ‘revised’.

“A life spent making mistakes is more honorable than a life spent doing nothing.”  George Bernard Shaw

Make it a great day!
