10 Years of Building in Victory Ranch, UT

Have you been to Jordanelle Ridge? It is just gorgeous. Check out this video I recorded in May 2018 to see what the area looked like then!

I had an interesting conversation with a nice man while in Victory Ranch the morning I recorded this video. He said last year they did 40 homes in Victory Ranch development. They build custom homes everywhere across the area.

In fact, this gentleman did the estimating on some homes up in Sun Valley recently. He said, “We have a good 10 years of building to catch up to our demand, to get the inventory to catch up to demand.” It was so fascinating to hear how busy they are!

The view of Heber Valley featured in the video is beautiful. The views of the Reservoir and Mount Timpanogos are just amazing. I have a client coming in tomorrow from California just to come look at Victory Ranch and the amazing views & do some home shopping.

A few other areas to consider are Red Ledges down in Heber and the Crossings. There are so many things happening in all of Wasatch County for those interested in Real Estate.

In fact, there’s a lot of Real Estate opportunities in all of Utah. I was in West Valley with a client two weeks ago and there’s a lot happening there as well. You might tend to think of Salt Lake Valley as being built out, but there’s still areas that are still growing!

If you have any questions about the market and where prices are at today and where things are going just let me know. Get in touch and I’m happy to give you some numbers, let you know what your value is for your property, or if you’re looking to buy what the market value is currently. I am here to help. Take Care!

Park City Views and 2019 Trending Paint Colors

Hey everyone, I’m in Park City enjoying these views today! If you a take a look at the video, you’ll see how beautiful it is, and what a wonderful place Park City is to live!

I got to spend some time today in a home in the April Mountain subdivision in Park City. Just below this area is old town Park City. There are gorgeous views of the ski resort here, making this such a beautiful location. 


I want to talk to you about home color trends for 2019. 
Just a few months ago I met with a number of realtors and paint company representatives.

They talked about what home colors will be trending in 2019. It was interesting, because many of the colors they mentioned included the schematics of different gray shades. 

In a recent article written by Decor Aid, two of their top ten 2019 paint colors were different tones of gray. 
Lilac Gray: For those looking for a warm and minimalist feel in their home, they suggest using this color. I personally love the pairing of light blues and yellows along with this light gray tone as shown in the picture below.

Pewter: This paint shade is extremely versatile. Decor Aid suggests to “take pewter paint color ideas throughout your home rather than just one room as it’s one shade that works with everything, everywhere.” This dark shade gives great contrast in rooms and can be used on the walls along with furniture, throw pillows and art. Paired with white it adds dimension and warmth.

Black cabinets, black counter tops with a white backsplash and white walls are also predicted to be popular. 

The home I saw in Park City today was gorgeous! There are many similar homes in the area that are currently listed if you’d like to walk through them with me.
Give me a call if you have any decor trend questions and I’ll get you in touch with the right people!

We can also check out the beautiful Park City area and some of the homes! Whether you want a second home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for family gatherings or if you’re looking for a primary residence this area is ideal. 

Give me a call! I’d love to help you out in Park City, Wasatch Back or the Wasatch Front. Take care!

Provo Canyon – Only closed twice in 20 Years

This video is not from today, it was made and then uploaded later.

Hey everyone, I am in Provo Canyon and you can see a little backup of cars! I often have people that are looking to move up Provo Canyon or towards this way that say, “Oh but the canyon is often closed…” I’ve lived in Wallsburg for twenty years now, and this is the second time it’s happened to me! Take a look at the video to see just how beautiful Provo Canyon is! 
20 years, 2 times. This is such a beautiful Canyon and I feel privileged to drive up and down it every day! I’m actually grateful that this happens every once in a while, just to remind me of the beauty! Not that it’s easy to forget; I mean this Canyon is gorgeous and I love looking at it as I drive up and down the canyon. 
I hope this answers some questions people often have asked me about the canyon. It’s really a good and well-maintained road. It is seldom closed despite the many rumors and I thoroughly enjoy living at the top of it. Absolutely nothing can beat these views!

Home Improvement – Finish Your Basement – DIY

Do you have home improvement projects to work on?

Are you not sure where to start??

Finishing your basement can significantly increase the value of your home. 

I just helped my son finish the drywall for the basement in his in-law’s home so him and his wife could move in after just being recently married.

Here are my 3 simple tips for remodeling:

1. If you can, do it yourself, but consider hiring a professional for the electrical and plumbing.

2. Keep in mind there will be intensive labor such as the sheet rocking shown in this video.

3. Map out all the details before you start. Make a plan.

If you have any questions about remodeling, I could answer them for you! If not, I’ll be sure to point you in the right direction. I am here to help you make your home the best it can be for your own enjoyment or ready for the market!

You may be too cold still to think about swimming outdoors here in Utah. However, August will be here before you know it and with that is our annual Coldwell Banker Client Appreciation Party at the Lindon Pool.
We have great food, great competitions, and more often than not great weather. One of the most fun things to participate in is the “Lily-Pad Race”.
I’m always so grateful for those I get to work within Real Estate and those that continue to refer their friends and family to me. Please plan on attending our Pool Party and we’ll see who wins the competition this year. Hope to see you there!
