West Jordan is growing, and there are some BIG housing proposals worth keeping an eye on! 👀

The West Jordan City Council recently discussed three proposed developments that could bring hundreds of additional homes to the area.

Here's what's being considered:

🏡 Lewiston Place: 196 proposed townhomes near 5600 West and the new Trader Joe's.

🏘️ Oneleven: A proposed expansion adding 158 homes, with a mix of single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes.

🏡 Harper: A proposed 405-home master-planned community featuring single-family homes, townhomes, and condos.

But here's what's interesting: it's not just about adding more homes.

These proposals also bring up important conversations about infrastructure, water availability, parking, transportation, and how growing communities can maintain their quality of life.

And if you're buying, selling, investing, or considering moving to the Salt Lake Valley, these are the kinds of local developments worth paying attention to.

One important note: These projects are still under consideration. They have not received final approval.

I break down all three proposals and what they could mean for West Jordan and the surrounding real estate market in this week's blog.

🏙️ Salt Lake City has been building a LOT of apartments. But what's happening next?

The Wasatch Front has added more than 33,000 multifamily units since 2023, and thousands more are expected to come online.

But here's what's interesting: despite all that new construction, apartments are still being absorbed, and the market may be approaching a turning point.

According to a new industry report, vacancy could increase slightly by the end of 2026, while fewer new projects moving forward could help tighten the market heading into 2027.

What does this mean?

🏡 Renters may continue to find opportunities through move-in specials and rental concessions.

📈 Developers and multifamily investors are watching supply, demand, and construction activity closely.

🌆 And for the Salt Lake Valley, these changes are part of a bigger conversation about how our communities are growing and where housing opportunities are developing.

Whether you're renting, buying, selling, or investing, understanding what's happening locally matters.

I break down the numbers and what they could mean for our local housing market in this week's blog.

Downtown Salt Lake City is about to look very different. 👀

And we finally have a better idea of what's coming!

Smith Entertainment Group just released new renderings and details for its proposed downtown entertainment district, along with major plans for the Salt Palace Convention Center.

Here's what caught my attention:

✨ A new 6,000-seat concert venue with plans for 80–120 concerts per year.
✨ New restaurants, retail, office space, a hotel, and residential development.
✨ A pedestrian walkway connecting City Creek, the Salt Palace, and the Delta Center.
✨ Improvements to Japantown Street and renovations to Abravanel Hall.
✨ A major Salt Palace overhaul ahead of the 2034 Winter Olympics.

But here's why this matters beyond sports and entertainment...

These plans could help reshape how people experience downtown SLC, making it a more connected destination for living, working, dining, and spending time.

And for anyone following Salt Lake City real estate, neighborhood development, or considering a move to Utah, it's definitely a project worth watching.

There are still plenty of unanswered questions, including construction timelines and how much housing will actually be added.

I broke down the plans, what we know so far, and what they could mean for our local community in this week's blog.

I need to say this because I think it is stopping a lot of people from buying.

Your first home does not have to be your forever home. It has to be your right now home.

I watch buyers sit on the sidelines for years waiting for the moment they can afford the house they actually want. The four bedroom with the good school district and the kitchen they pinned on Pinterest and the yard that fits the dog they haven't gotten yet.

And while they wait, they pay rent. Someone else's mortgage. Month after month.

Here is what I have watched happen over and over again for the buyers who did buy.

They bought the smaller house. The one that needed a little work. The one in the neighborhood that was almost right but not perfect. They bought it because the numbers made sense and the timing was right.

Then three years passed. Five years passed.

They built equity. Home values moved. They refinanced when rates dropped. And when the time came to move up, they did not start from zero. They rolled that equity into the next purchase and suddenly the dream home was actually within reach.

That is how this works in real life.

Your first home is not a compromise. It is a move. A calculated one. You are not settling. You are starting.

The buyers who win long term are not the ones who waited for perfect. They are the ones who got in smart and let time do the rest.

Here is the math that actually matters for your first purchase.

Can you afford the payment without it wrecking your monthly budget. Does the home have room to appreciate. Is the neighborhood stable or improving. Can you see yourself there for at least three to five years.

If the answer to those is yes, that is your green light. Not the granite countertops. Not the primary suite. Not the zip code you ideally wanted.

Those come in round two. And round two comes faster than you think when you play round one right.

Stop waiting for the dream. Start with the smart.

Could Salt Lake City become an even bigger ski industry powerhouse?

A new report says Alterra Mountain Company—the owner of Deer Valley, Solitude, and the Ikon Pass—is reportedly considering relocating its headquarters from Denver to Salt Lake City.

Nothing has been officially announced, but this is exactly the kind of news I keep an eye on because major employers can have a real impact on our local economy, housing market, and the future of the Salt Lake Valley.

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or simply love living here, it's another sign that Utah continues to attract national attention.

I broke down what this could mean for Salt Lake City real estate, our local communities, and why it matters for anyone thinking about living in Salt Lake City.

What if you never had to choose between mountain living and city convenience?

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind retreat tucked into the foothills of Emigration Canyon, where privacy, luxury, and breathtaking views come together on 1.69 acres.

Imagine waking up to panoramic mountain vistas, stepping onto your own private trail system for a morning hike, then being back in downtown Salt Lake City in just 15 minutes. Or spending the day skiing in Park City before returning home to unwind in your soaking tub, steam shower, or private sauna.

This incredible home offers:
• 5 spacious en-suite bedrooms
• 7 bathrooms
• Floor-to-ceiling views from nearly every room
• Heated garage
• Solar power + major recent upgrades
• Private trail access
• One of the quietest neighborhoods on the Wasatch Front

Luxury isn’t just about beautiful finishes—it’s about how a home makes you feel. Peaceful. Connected to nature. Close to everything.

Can I say something that nobody talks about out loud?

A lot of the home purchases you're watching happen around you are being funded in ways you can't see from the outside.

Up to 78% of Gen Z buyers and around 56% of millennial buyers are receiving financial help from family to purchase a home. That is not a small number. That is most of the people in your age group who are buying right now.

So if you've been looking at your friends' homes wondering how they are pulling it off on the same salary you make, there is a very good chance you are not missing something about budgeting or discipline. You are just not seeing the full picture.

There is zero judgment here. Receiving family help to buy a home is a smart move and a generous gift. Not everyone has access to it and that matters.

But here is the part I really want you to sit with.

A lot of parents and grandparents are starting to think differently about when to give that gift.

$100,000 at 29 looks like a down payment on a home that builds equity for the next 30 years. It looks like a monthly payment you can actually afford. It looks like roots and stability during the years when that matters most.

$100,000 at 59 looks like... money in an account you already have.

The impact is not the same. Not even close.

Giving generational wealth early, while the recipient is in the season of life where it changes their trajectory, is one of the most financially powerful things a family can do. And more families are figuring that out right now.

So if you're feeling behind because everyone around you seems to be buying and you can't figure out how, give yourself some grace.

You may not have the whole story.

And if you want someone to actually level with you about what your picture looks like and what is realistic, that is exactly what I do.
