FaceTime Home Buying

Hey everyone, as you can see from my title on this Facebook Live video, I am with a client of mine who purchased a home just recently and she never actually came to the home.

This is my good friend, Sandy Foster and she saw the home just through FaceTime. So I just want to ask her a couple questions and for anybody that might be outside of my work area, that is interested in buying a home, Sandy can tell you her experience.

So we were looking at homes and because you had come out the one time and we looked at a few, but then we just kept doing everything over the internet and we started doing FaceTime on the homes. How comfortable were you with just doing FaceTime to see the home and walk through the home?

It was a different experience, but it was something that was really comfortable because I was able to get my questions answered by you and doing it with FaceTime was almost like I was walking through the house. So I don’t know it didn’t seem odd at all, it was an easy thing to do, it was easier than flying over here and going through every house individually and I got an idea really quickly if it was something I wanted to continue to, you know, find out more information on or not.

And when I went through this one with you, I knew that this house was the one that I wanted. I just, you know, had a couple more questions about it. Anything I asked you, you answered and it was an easy experience, a very smooth experience.

It was pretty cool and I mean Sandy has been awesome to work with. You were concerned, in fact, you can see kind of the blue, there’s a blue paint to the walls and you were a little concerned. It turned out great, her furniture has turned out so, so good. Let me just show this furniture and anyway it’s turned out really good.

So anyway if you have any questions and like I say you’re outside of the Wasatch Front, the Wasatch back and you’re interested in real estate give me a call. Technology is awesome.

Yes, it was a great experience and I was not disappointed at all.

There’s a few other rollercoasters we went through, but in fact, really that was the easiest part. That was the smooth part; The smoothest part was seeing the home. So anyway have a great weekend everybody.

Best Regards,
Brian Olsen – Utah Realtor

So anyway Wallsburg it is a hot market in Wasatch County, which it hasn’t been that hot, but since March First we’ve had four properties go under contract. So for Wallsburg that is a hot market, but don’t fret there’s still some other properties that are available and if you’re interested in Wallsburg give me a call.

The other three properties are still under contract but there’s still four homes that are listed for sale, and there are 14 parcels that are listed for sale. Further up here there’s two two acre parcels, let me just turn around here so you see, right back here there’s 1,400 acres up alongside the hill here that’s for sale and a bunch in between.

Home Inspection Electrical Panel

Hey you guys, hope you’re having a good weekend.

Just wanted to share some information again on home inspections and this time on some electrical issues and what the home inspector is going to look at.

Remember inspectors are going to look at what is visible and what is easily accessible. One of the things that’s easily accessible is to take the cover off of the electrical service panel, if your home inspector isn’t doing that you need to change home inspectors.

But they should take that cover off and a few of the things they’re going to look for are the number of switches for the size of the home, how many wires going to each switch, the gauge of the wires going into the switch, they’ll look for corrosion, look for taped wires.

Anyway they’ll look for a number of things in there and should give you a good report on that service panel and how things look in that service panel. So you want to make sure that they do that.

One of the things that they won’t do which isn’t easily accessible is when you get to a fixture, for example this ceiling fan here, an inspector is not going to pull the connection, the fixture from the ceiling and so when you get into an older home you just want to make sure that the inspector goes through everything as much as he can. He’s going to check switches he’s going to check you know fixtures and that but he’s not going to be pulling things off the wall like he will the panel on the electrical or the cover on the service panel is easily accessible.

So anyway in an older home you just don’t want to have it look like there’s good wiring and then when it actually gets to the fixture they’ve left some old wiring.

If you need a good inspector along the Wasatch Front give me a call. If you are outside
of the Wasatch Front good luck getting you a good home inspector and happy inspecting.

Take care!

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!
