I learned to fish from my dad, and he taught me never to cast where the fish were jumping. He'd say the jumpers already ate - you want the water nobody's watching. 🎣

Selling a house works the same way. Everybody obsesses over what the house down the street listed for. The number that matters is what homes actually sold for - and lately in the Salt Lake Valley, that's running about 98% of list, with homes taking around 60 days to find their buyer. That gap between the asking price and the real number? That's where deals are won or lost. 🎯

If you're thinking about selling this year, the smartest thirty minutes you can spend is looking at the sold data for your street - not throwing your line out and relying on wishful thinking. I'll pull it for you, no strings. Call, text, or DM me today. 🏡

My neighbor had a rule about yard work: sharpen the mower blade before you mow, every time. Took ten extra minutes, and he'd catch grief for it - until you saw his lawn next to everyone else's.

Ten minutes of prep beats an hour of pushing harder. That's true for lawns, and it's true for selling a house. 🏡

Just closed on a great home in east-side Murray - 9 days on the market, in a market where homes are averaging closer to 60. No tricks, no luck. The sellers did the unglamorous stuff: they took the prep recommendations seriously, and they priced it where the market actually is, not where we wished it was. Buyers noticed. Buyers acted. 🎯

This market rewards preparation. If you're thinking about selling - this year, next year, whenever - the best time to sharpen the blade is before you need to mow.

Happy to walk you through what prep and honest pricing would look like for your place. Just call, text, or DM me. No pressure, just straight answers.

Hard-earned July wisdom: a popsicle gives you about 4 minutes before it's running down your arm. There's a window, and then there's a mess. 🫠

Putting your home on the market is the same way. The first two weeks on the market are your popsicle window - that's when the serious buyers look. Priced right and prepped right, that window is all you need. Priced wrong, you're licking your wrist in front of the whole neighborhood.

This market rewards preparation. Call or DM me, and I can help you get your popsicle window right.

Straight talk, no spin: homes in Salt Lake County are taking about 60 days to sell right now and closing around 98% of asking price. What does that actually mean? It means priced-right homes are still selling - and the ones that sit are almost always a positioning problem, not a market problem. If you want a real market analysis of what your home would sell for, not a Zillow guess, call, text, or DM me. -Michael

30 years of doing this, and I can tell you the best part hasn't changed once.

It's not the sold sign. It's not the closing table. It's the moment right after - when I put the keys in my client's hands and someone's next chapter officially starts.

This business gave me a career without ever making a single cold call or knocking on a stranger's door. Just taking really good care of people, who then tell the people they care about.

So if you're the reason a friend or neighbor ever landed in front of me - THANK YOU. You're a big part of my success. 🙏

Everyone keeps asking me the same question: “Michael, is it still a good time to sell?” 🤔

Here’s the honest answer - and it comes with a warning. ‼️

Right now in our market, 248 homes just dropped their price. Only 19 raised it. The average home is taking about 60 days to sell.

But here’s the number that matters: homes are still closing at roughly 98% of asking price. Translation? Buyers are absolutely still out there and still paying - they’re just done overpaying for homes that are priced on hope instead of data.

This is not a market where you guess at a price and cross your fingers. This is a market where preparation and pricing strategy are the whole ballgame. The sellers who get it right are winning. The ones who don’t become a price-reduction statistic.

After 30 years and every kind of market you can imagine, I can tell you exactly where your home needs to be to sell strong. Free home valuation, zero pressure. DM or text me, and let’s get your number right the first time. 🎯

Sorry if I was hard to reach this weekend - my eagle doesn’t get great cell service over Mount Rushmore. 🤷‍♂️

Hope everyone had an incredible 4th of July holiday! 🇺🇸 Back to solid ground this week doing what I do best: helping my clients around the Valley buy and sell homes. (By the way, the eagle definitely helps with the aerial property photos) 😎

🗣️ I’m having a lot of conversations lately that start with:

“Our interest rate is amazing…but our house just doesn’t work for our life anymore.”

That tug-of-war is 💯 real.

Holding onto a great rate feels smart - because it is.

But staying stuck in a home that no longer fits has a cost too.

What most people don’t realize is this isn’t an all-or-nothing decision. There are usually more options than the headlines (or social media takes) suggest.

Sometimes it’s not about giving up a good rate - it’s about understanding what flexibility you actually have.

If you’re quietly weighing that decision, I’m always happy to talk it through. Feel free to call or DM me anytime to chat. 🙂

⏳ The next 90 days might be the best window of opportunity in 2026 for anyone thinking about buying a home in Salt Lake County. Here’s why:

For the first time since 2022, interest rates have dipped below 6%. That alone changes the math for a lot of buyers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines.

At the same time, there are 2,357 homes currently for sale in Salt Lake County - about 19% more than this time last year. More options = More leverage.

Prices have also largely leveled out, which means buyers aren’t chasing runaway appreciation the way they were a few years ago.

Here’s the part that tends to repeat every year, though: After the holidays, more buyers start paying attention again. Not all at once - but enough that competition slowly builds as we move toward spring. And when competition increases, prices usually follow.

That’s why this window matters.

Right now, buyers get something that doesn’t always overlap:

* Improved rates
* More inventory
* Less competition

Later in the spring, it’s often a different story.

I’m not saying everyone should buy a home right now - and I’m definitely not saying anyone should rush. But if you’re already thinking about making a move this year, this is usually the time where you can have the best advantage. 🏡

If you’d like to see what your options are, give me a call or shoot me a DM.
