We recently closed on the sale of this cute little hamlet located just yards away from the Ogden River Parkway in Ogden. The home is a cozy 760 SQFT in a two bedroom configuration. The home has had many recent upgrades. Built in 1947, the home sits on a 0.12 acre lot with access to creek water at the back of the yard. We had spent quite a bit of time helping our client find the right home. As a school teacher, we had budget constraints to work with and […]

We recently listed this spacious brick clad rambler located at 4410 S. Orchard Ave. in South Ogden, Utah. This home has been in the same family for decades and with changes in living arrangements, the family has opted to put the home up for sale. The home was originally listed for $439,900 and is currently priced at $404,900. The home has great potential with big open spaces and plenty of room to grow. The garage has passive solar heating installed in an oversized 2-car configuration. If you are interested in […]

One of the reasons historic old homes are so enduring is that they are built of materials that were made to last over 100 years. In this video we have some fun showing how a tired 110 year old porch skirt is replaced with a new one fabricated from 2x4s from the hardware store. Hopefully someone in the year 2134 will watch this video so they know how to replace it again.

Vacation rentals are a controversial topic depending on the neighborhood you live in.  It seems that this type of super temporary housing use is loved by its owners and sometimes loathed by its neighbors.  With an AirBnB just a few doors from our home, I admit I have had to knock on the door of a loud guest at late hours once or twice.   In conversation with city code inspectors, it seems that some vacation rentals in the city have even been used for nefarious purposes.   The concept of […]

Interstate 15 has played a significant role in the history of Ogden City.  Before the interstate was created, Highway 89 was the main travel path north and south along the Wasatch Front.  In Ogden, this road is Washington Blvd.  As yesteryear’s travelers sojourned through Ogden, many needed a place to rest.  Hence all the motel’s that sprung up in the 40’s and 50’s along Washington Blvd.   However, as I-15 was laid out and constructed, it took a course conspicuously distant from Ogden’s city center.  With travelers bypassing the heart […]

We recently closed on the sale of a tiny triplex in Ogden.  Located at 718 21st St., this little property is 1,200 SQFT divided into three petite one bedroom apartments.  The subdivision was made sometime in the 1920’s so this building has served this use for over 100 years now.   The property also includes a building lot next door that can be subdivided if the triplex use of the existing structure is forsaken. We initially listed the property for $399,900 and the market quickly gave us feedback that our price […]

The summer selling season is coming to a close this year and its time to take a look at what has happened since our last update.   PRICE ACTION Despite the pervasively high interest rate environment, house prices have continued to lurch upwards since their 2022 slump.  This summer saw prices climb to near their peaks from early 2022.   However, when we adjust house prices for inflation, house prices haven’t surged nearly as much.  While modestly climbing, overall values remain about where they were last summer.   So, it […]

There is a massive push by policymakers to find rental housing for folks in precarious economic circumstances.  A lot of taxpayer money is focused on this effort via programs.  We share our recent experience with one of these programs and hope to provoke some discussion. A lot to digest here.  In the meantime, if you are looking for a hardworking property manager to handle your property and tenants, give us a call.  801-390-1480

We just listed this unique commercial property located at 897 N. 2000 W. win Farr West, UT.  We have had this property under management for many years and the owner has decided to make some changes in their portfolio.   The property itself is .86 acres and sits on the southern boundary of Farr West City.   The improvements on the lot include a main building in the front, a long row of garage spaces behind, and a very large shop area in the rear of the property.  These structures enclose […]

The last several years has seen a lot of public debate and policy action to deal with Utah’s ever scarcer water resources.  The summers of 2020-2022 were particularly hot and dry which added to the concern.  Many Ogden homeowners lost their green yards to water restrictions and many of us are still getting our lawns to recover from those restrictions.  The silver lining to this was water consumption was down and so were the water bills.   Yesterday, Ogden entered the next chapter in ongoing water management efforts.  The City […]

Progress continues on the Matson House Project as crews work to get us to a final inspection and get things ready for occupancy. We take you on a tour of the improvements we have made since the last update months ago. More updates to come!
