Deciding where to live in Utah...

Location, Location, Location is one of the most important issues when buying Salt Lake City homes. There might be many neighborhoods in Salt Lake that you can afford, but which one’s right for you? It's a good idea to explore your options and consider the location issue for a few reasons.

Appreciation: Choosing an area that is in demand will improve the chances that the value of your Salt Lake City home or condo will go up over time. If demand is greater than supply for an extended period of time, prices usually increase.

Quality of Schools: Do you have children or will you in the future? You may want to consider the quality of the schools in the area you buy your Salt Lake home.

Commute to work and other places you frequent: Where you work and other places you frequently visit should play a factor in your decision of where to buy a home in Salt Lake. A short commute allows for more time doing other things and saves you a lot in gas, wear and tear on your car and also reduces carbon emissions. Live close, drive less and spend more time with the people you care about. It's a better way!

Crime Rate: Something worth checking into
if you're not sure or concerned about this issue.
Proximity to transportation: If you commute every day, you may want to be close to an interstate highway or Trax.

Old home or New home?: Most of the Salt Lake suburbs have homes that were built from 1950 to present day.  In Salt Lake City the homes tend to be older homes built prior to 1950.

Finished or Fixer-upper?:  If you don’t like house projects and can’t afford to pay contractors, you probably want a nicely finished home.

Up and Coming or Established neighborhood?
Quiet Street or Busy street?
Urban, Suburban, Resort or Rural living?

If your plan is to move from one home to another, just putting your home on the market isn’t enough.  Your home will need to be ready to show and you’ll need a strategy to accomplish the sale and purchase of another home in a reasonable time frame.

With 10 years selling homes in metro Salt Lake and 20 years in the real estate business, I have many strategies and an in depth understanding of what it takes to help you sell and buy another home.  Call or email me if you’d like to take advantage of this opportunity!
