I have opinions about where to watch the sun go down in Salt Lake.

Most of these are five minutes away. A couple are worth the drive. The one thing nobody tells you is the timing, so I put the arrival window on each.

📍 Ensign Peak Nature Park - Valley and Great Salt Lake spread out west
📍 Lupine Trail - City opens up as the loop climbs
📍 Blackridge Reservoir - Open water doubles the color on the beach
📍 Oquirrh Lake - Bridges over the lake face the mountains
📍 - Rooftop lines up straight with the mountains
📍 Scenic Tram - Alpine summit catches the last light first

The highest-returning project before you sell costs less than your fridge.

Almost every seller I talk to opens with the kitchen. It is the room they have been meaning to fix for years, and listing finally gives them permission to spend the money.

The data does not back that up. The 2025 Cost vs. Value report puts a garage door replacement at 268% recouped and a midrange bathroom remodel at 80%. The projects at the top of the return list are almost all small and on the outside of the house.

Here is the part the ranking leaves out. The projects that score highest for return are not the ones people love living with. Kitchens, primary suites, new roofing, those are what homeowners actually enjoy. That happiness just does not always come back to you dollar for dollar at closing.

So the question is not which project is best. It is whether you are spending to enjoy the house or spending to sell it. Those are two different budgets.

Send me a message before you spend anything and I will tell you what buyers are paying attention to right now.

The project with the best return at resale is the garage door. I know how that sounds.

About $4,700 to replace. It adds roughly $12,500 in resale value.

A new steel front door is next. Around $2,400 in, and more than double that back out at closing.

Then compare that to a midrange bathroom remodel. About $26,000 spent, about $21,000 back. A minor kitchen refresh, new counters and cabinet fronts and paint, actually does slightly better than break even. It's the full gut renovation that quietly costs you.

The pattern is hard to miss once you see it. The projects that pay you back are small, cheap, and on the outside of the house. The ones you'd be excited to show people are the ones you lose money on.

That doesn't mean skip them. Some projects are worth doing because you'll enjoy living with them, and that's a real reason. Just know which bet you're making before you commit the budget.

Send me a message and I'll tell you which of these is worth doing on your house before you list.

There's a version of me who always orders a salad and another version of me who only orders dessert.

This list is that second version’s top spots. 7 spots, all on repeat this summer, none of them picked for any reason other than they're real, real good.

Right now I'm dreaming about:

👉 Forty Three Bakery's raspberry danish with vanilla cream and brown sugar streusel, because baker Andrew builds seasonal pastries around whatever fruit is most interesting at the farmers market.
👉 Rockwell Ice Cream, mostly because it's made in-house daily with 16% butterfat, so it's denser and more intense than standard ice cream.
👉 Nielsen's Frozen Custard's concretes, which will make you briefly consider buying a second and third.

A client added their daughter to the deed to avoid probate. Clean, simple, done.

The estate attorney saw it differently.

Three things nobody told them:

1️⃣ Adding a name transfers your original cost basis. The taxable gain calculates from what you paid in 1991, not today.
2️⃣ Inheriting the home through a will would have given her a stepped-up basis to current market value. Same house, very different tax bill.
3️⃣ A gift tax return was required. They found out after.

One conversation with the right person before the deed gets filed can change everything. Always ask me about anything to do with your home. If I don't have an answer, I can refer you to my trusted estate attorney.

He titled it as joint tenancy. Seemed straightforward.

When he passed, his daughter's share automatically transferred to his son. The will didn't matter. The deed overrode everything.
She got nothing.

I was talking through a case like this with the estate attorney I refer my clients to and something they said stuck with me. They said most families don't find out how their deed is titled until it's too late to change it.

Do you know how yours is titled right now?

If you're not sure, that's worth figuring out before anything gets filed. Drop DEED in the comments and I'll connect you with someone I trust.

You don't have to suffer when it gets too hot in Salt Lake. Check out these 6 places to cool off this summer.

📍 Murray Outdoor Aquatic Center
📍 Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center
📍 Liberty Park Pool
📍 South County Outdoor Pool
📍 Magna Pool
📍 Wardle Fields Regional Park Splash Pad

Which one is your favorite?

Just $1 for little kids, $4 youth, $5 adults, first-come first-served. A four-story waterslide tucked inside Murray Park, so swimming is just part of the day. Has a zero-depth entry beach area for the toddlers AND two diving boards for the older kids so you're not suffering on a hot day with nowhere to go.

I tell every buyer I work with: learn your parks system. Salt Lake has it and most people barely use it.

Something I keep seeing with clients in their 60s. They're protecting their savings like it's the only thing they have, while sitting on hundreds of thousands in home equity they've never thought they could touch.

I sat with a reverse mortgage specialist and asked them to walk me through how it actually works. The costs, the options, what trips people up.

It's not for everyone. But if you own your home and retirement feels tighter than it should, it's worth understanding.

Save this and send it to someone who needs to see it.
