Aerial Photos from Ogden Valley Balloon Festival, 2014

Here’s one more reason to love the Ogden Valley – the annual Balloon and Artist Festival.  This year, launches were at Snowcrest Jr. High School.  There was an evening launch at Nordic Valley (formally Wolf Mountain) along with the night Balloon Glow, concerts (all day and night), food, artists, vendors, kids play area, and so much more.

To learn more about the Festival, check out the Ogden Valley Balloon and Artist Festival web site.

Hello everyone! This is Ann Zieve with the Northern Utah Home Team and Keller Williams success realty. I’m here to give you my weekly market update. And today I have sales data from second quarter 2014 so we’ll go over that we’ll also look at some homes on the market. So let’s get started.
And first up we have the sales data for Weber County. This is showing us this green line is the number of units listed. The blue line is the median sales price and the red line is the number of units sold by quarters from 2014 back to 2009. And we can see at the end second quarter 2014, the number of units listed has increased from first quarter. It’s about the same where it was a year ago. Our median sales price has dropped from where it was a year ago although it is up slightly from the first quarter and the number of units sold has increased from first quarter but again it’s about where it was a year ago. So if trends continue the way they did last year we can expect to see number of homes listed, sold and prices starting to decrease as we go in to the third quarter for Weber County.
Well let’s take a look at Davis County. Here’s the data for Davis County. We are looking at the same things but we can see as slightly different pattern. For one thing, the median sales price is up at 219,000 which is an increase from where it was a year ago and an increase from where it was at first quarter. If you remember Weber County, the median price is around 150,000 so quite a bit higher in Davis County. Number of units listed has increased from first quarter and about where it was a year ago and the same with the number of units sold increased from first quarter about where it was a year ago. Now in Davis County, we could also expect to see if trends continue from a year ago, that the number of units listed and sold will start to decrease but a year ago the price continue to increase for another quarter so we’ll keep an eye on that and see if our prices are going to continue to increase in Davis County. Well let’s take a look at some home in the market in Davis County.
And first up is 329 Whits End in Kaysville. This is a beautiful 4 bedroom 5 bath home on almost an acre (0.84), has some great features with water features, a huge barn in the back and every bedroom has its own bath so they’re all set up like suites. This is a beautiful over 4,000 sq. ft. home on the end of a cul-de-sac and definitely worth checking out.
And next we have 1230 Fairmont Lane which is in Layton. This is a 4,700 sq. ft. home with 7 bedroom 5 baths at the end of the cul-de-sac. On over a half acre, I’m sorry it’s .39 acres and it has a mother-in-law suite on the main floor which is a very rare find. You can see all the beautiful finishes, lots of space in here for everyone and extended family as well.
So that’s the end of this week’s market update. Feel free to give us a call, a text or an email if we can help you with your real estate needs and until then, keep living smart.

VIDEO: How To Get $25k More Than Asking Price When Selling Salt Lake City Utah House

I’m Matt, I’m Shannon.
We’re from Salt Lake City, Utah and we decided to sell our house because Matt wanted to go back to school. So, initially looking at the comparables we decided to list our house at a certain price, and I wasn’t exactly sure it was going to sell at that price. So, day 1 we had, I don’t know, 6 showings day 1 and maybe 10 the next day. With that, all the showings, we had 6 offers within the first 2 days and 4 of them were above asking price. So we actually were able to get an offer almost $25,000 dollars more than our asking price, which was way more than we’d ever have hoped for. Inspection requests list, they had a whole long list of $10,000 worth of repairs and Joel negotiated things and was able to get the list down. We only ended up paying about $1,600 worth of credit towards the sellers. We didn’t even have to do the repairs.
I really, really liked the marketing side of it. I feel like, sometimes, that when you put it with other agents, or whatever, they just kind of half do things, but…
He came and did a video walk-through, and he had professionals take pictures of it. It was pretty much as easy as that! I liked the professional photos, it made the house look really nice.
Yeah! And they had our own personal website page, they posted it on Facebook, and had me post it on Facebook, and all my friends were posting it on Facebook! So, so many people saw the listing!
A big blurb about the house. And all avenues were covered! You could find it on Facebook, you could find it on YouTube, you could find it on Google, you can find it on wherever you look you would be able to find our listing! And it wouldn’t be the 5th or 6th down. It would be number 1! And so that helped, having a lot of people see it. And I think that’s the reason why we were able to get more than our asking price is because there was so much interest in the house. If there wasn’t that much interest in the house, there’s no way we could have gotten it. And multiple offers! Multiple offers!
Another reason why Joel and Ann are awesome, is all the updates! We knew exactly who was viewing the house, I knew exactly what they thought of it after they viewed the house, we knew exactly what was going on! Every week we got an update and we knew where we were in the process, and so we didn’t have to be like, “I wonder what’s going on?” We already knew. That’s true!
So, call Joel and Ann because they’re really easy going, and they’re really awesome. They get along. Hard working! They’re very hard working! They’ll work for you and you know that they’re working for you! That’s what I’ve noticed, a difference in our past experiences.

I was trying to get into a house that was bigger and so we had to rent this out and we were losing money and so this (selling the house) has been phenomenal for us.
Once we’ve found Joel & Ann, this has been awesome. We loved the attention to detail and just the communication with us.
You got two competing offers. You can’t do better than that. No, no. Multiple offers! We initially were just going to take one round and just go with it and then after talking to you and Joel , we decided to do a competition and ended up earning us our original asking price which has been huge. So your advice and counsel was great.
So the big difference between you guys and other agents for us was that it felt like that everyone else just threw us on the MLS. That’s all that they did. They put you on the MLS, throw you on Zillow and KSL and move on. You never talked to them; I mean we got no communication, no feedback.
Yeah, we noticed the difference I think immediately with Joel as he went through the presentation of how you would market the property, all the different points that you would use to try and find buyers. The communication is the key that we would able to see what was going on. What marketing was happening, how many hits we were getting. If you had talked to anyone I knew that immediately. I mean those were just huge helps.
I liked how many different things you could do to put our house out there so people could see it and want to look through it so I think that was the first step. Before It’s there but no one knew about it I guess.
Just the little details the Google docs, the aerial photo, and the video of the property. I saw the video and I wanted to buy it.
I think the fact that you’ve asked that question is just a testimony to how good of a realtor that you are. I don’t think that you guys could have done anything differently. I think it was wonderful. It was wonderful from the beginning to end.
I’d gotten to a point that we’ve been through enough realtors so in the beginning I was hesitant and leery of any realtor to be honest with you. I’d got to the point where I didn’t trust any of them. And so I think, as much as I liked the presentation I still had that bad taste in my mouth. Here we go again- Hopefully this is going to be different. Hopefully they’ll actually follow through on their promises. And now being on the back end of it, you guys lived up to every promise and exceeded. And we had yet to have a realtor even fulfill the basic promises.
Well, congratulations and enjoy your life without a condo to worry about. (Yeah!)
