What is unique about Utah County right now

  • - Utah County has both fast and slower pockets. Some commuter areas move quickly, while other areas give buyers more room to negotiate.
  • - The larger list to sale gap suggests that many homes start high and adjust later. Buyers who watch price changes can find better value.
  • - New construction and resale compete directly in many neighborhoods, so side by side monthly cost comparisons are critical.

Buying in Utah County

I help buyers compare options clearly and negotiate from real local market pace.

  • - Compare resale and new construction by total monthly cost, not just list price.
  • - Request a full list of builder incentives and their expiration dates before choosing a community.
  • - In fast pockets like Lehi and American Fork, strong preapproval and clean terms help you compete.
  • - In higher inventory areas, negotiate with confidence on credits, repairs, and timelines.

Selling in Utah County

I help sellers capture attention early and avoid costly pricing drift.

  • - Set pricing around current buyer payment comfort, not older peak pricing.
  • - Show clear value versus nearby new construction through upgrades, lot use, or location benefits.
  • - If traffic is weak in the first week, improve terms quickly instead of waiting for momentum to return on its own.
  • - Keep the property easy to show during launch to capture serious buyer demand early.
