Thinking about selling in the south valley? Five quiet things cost sellers real money, and every one is avoidable. Here's my honest read. 👇🏽

Pricing to impress instead of to net. Skipping the cheap pre-list fixes. Not knowing your own equity before you list. And getting soft on the back-end negotiation, where a lot of money quietly gets given back.

I price to what you actually walk away with, not to a number that looks good on day one. And I run your real numbers before we ever list, so nothing surprises you at the closing table.

Utah fall colors 2026: the highest peaks turn first (mid-September), then the color rolls down the canyons into the south valley by mid-October. 👇🏽
Here’s the real schedule, top to bottom:
🍂 9,000+ ft (Mirror Lake Hwy, Cedar Breaks) — peak mid-Sept
🍂 High canyons (Alpine Loop, Big & Little Cottonwood, American Fork) — late Sept to early Oct
🍂 Foothills & benches — early-to-mid Oct
🍂 Valley floor, Herriman to South Jordan — mid-to-late Oct
My real take for 2026: with the dry summer, go early rather than late — the high drives may peak fast and drop quick.
Save this so you catch peak week. And if these mountain views are the reason you want to be on the west side of the valley, that’s exactly the kind of move I help people make.

What real estate listing words actually mean, part 2: “cozy” means small, “needs TLC” means bring a contractor, and “priced to sell” usually means it has already been sitting.

Every listing description has a translation. Reading them is literally my job, so you do not tour three houses to learn what one word was hiding.

House hunting in Herriman, Riverton, Bluffdale, South Jordan or West Jordan? I will translate the listing before you spend a Saturday on it. Free read, link in the first comment.

New home appraisal rules for Utah sellers take effect November 2nd — and here's my real take on it.
This is a full overhaul, not a tweak. The report's longer and appraisers now go room by room to find your home's true value, so the upgrades you've made matter more than ever.
If you've done any work — roof, solar, HVAC, a remodel — pull your permits from the Salt Lake County website and keep your receipts so it actually counts. Do it now, not the week of your appraisal, and it won't hold up your closing. Let's take the fear out of this one.
👉🏽 I put the whole thing on one simple checklist — comment APPRAISAL below and I'll send it your way.

Utah homeowners, quick PSA that could save you real money. 🏡 When your home is your primary residence, Utah lets you exempt a big chunk of its taxable value — we're talking nearly half. But here's the catch most people miss: when you move or buy, you have to make sure it's claimed. I see homeowners overpay every year just because nobody told them. Just moved? Comment "TAX" or DM me and I'll point you to exactly where to check. Keep it Real. 🖤

I talk to a lot of Herriman homeowners who say "I have been thinking about selling" and then... nothing happens.

So let me address the three things I hear most.

"Rates are too high." For who? Your buyer pool still includes people relocating from LA, Chicago, and Seattle where $600K buys a fraction of what it buys here. Rates are relative.

"I will wait for prices to go up more." Prices in Herriman are up 1.7% over the past year. They are not dropping. But waiting does not guarantee a better outcome, especially if inventory keeps building.

"I do not know where I would go." This is the real one. And it is exactly what I help people figure out. We can plan your move before you ever list.

If any of this sounds familiar, let's just talk. No pressure, no pitch. Just real information so you can make the right call for your situation.

May Herriman real estate numbers are in and I want to share them with you because they tell a really interesting story.

53 single family homes and townhomes sold in Herriman this month, straight from Utah MLS. Not Zillow estimates. Not Redfin guesses. Actual closed sales.

Here is what the data shows.

Sellers are getting 99.1% of their asking price. That means if you price your home correctly, you are walking away with nearly full ask. That is a strong seller position.

Buyers are averaging $11,592 in seller concessions. So while sellers are holding on price, buyers are getting help with closing costs. Both sides are finding a way to make deals work.

Single family median sold price came in at $690,000 with an average size of 3,572 square feet. That works out to about $216 per square foot.

Townhomes closed at a median of $439,352 averaging 2,024 square feet at $227 per square foot.

Days on market varied quite a bit. Single family homes went under contract in a median of 47 days.

Townhomes took longer at 104 days, which tells you buyers in that price range have more options and are taking their time.

The bottom line: this is not a broken market. It is a balanced one. And balanced markets create opportunity on both sides if you know how to read them.

If you want to talk through what any of this means for your situation, I am always here.
