South Jordan ranks 18th best place to live in U.S.

South Jordan

Top 100 rank: 18
Population: 51,000
Compare South Jordan to Top 10 Best Places

Founded by Mormons, South Jordan was an agricultural community a generation ago. Now it’s the second fastest growing city in Utah. A huge new development, Daybreak, is planned that would swell the population still more.That population, by the way, is still heavily Mormon. If the breakneck growth and lack of religious diversity don’t deter you, there’s lots to like about this town, including a low crime rate and strong schools.

Residents revisit their rustic roots during the annual South Jordan Country Fest, a celebration that includes a carnival, a parade, and a big-name musical act. –B.D.

How’s The Real Estate Market?

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Hey, one of the most common questions I get asked is, “How’s the market?”  I want to share with you how I answer that–

My experience shows it all depends on where you live and I would love to do some research for you and send you an email that will tell you what homes are for sale now, what homes have sold recently and how long those homes are taking to sell in your neighborhood so you can feel secure in the knowledge that you have the most accurate information. This timely information will tell you right away how the market is right now.  I imagine that information would be valuable to you, would it not?

This is what I do for my friends, family members and people I care about.  Just send me an email and I’ll set you up to automatically answer the question, ‘how’s the market?’ each and every month.  And if you have a friend or family member who would like to get some research on what homes are selling for in their neighborhood, I’d love to provide that to them.

Q. How Do I Find The Right House And Make An Offer?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Real Estate Corner…

Q.    How Do I Find The Right House And Make An Offer?

A.    I recommend that you make a wish list of everything you would like to have in a new house.  Then make a list of everything you don’t like in your current home.  These two lists will give you a good idea of where to start, and help you analyze your needs.

Buying a home requires making some compromises.  You may not get everything you want, but make sure to get what you need.  For example, when buying a home, the neighborhood should be your main consideration.  Is the house in a neighborhood that you like and feel safe?  Will you have a reasonable commute to work?  Does it have a good school system?  (Not only is this important if you have children; it will impact the resale value of your home down the road.)  Does the area have the amenities that you’re looking for (parks, stores, and library) within a few miles?

Buying a house is a big financial investment and commitment for many years.  Before you make an offer, ask yourself if you can afford the house? Be cautious.  If you are buying or selling a home and need competent and caring representation, please call me at

Attention Sandy & South Jordan skiers

Friday, October 16th, 2009

I don’t know about you, but snow on the peaks always gets me excited about ski season.

I’ve started exercising on a more regular basis and have been using the internet to find DEALS on lift tickets.

The best one I’ve found is a Snowbird 2 day pass for the price of 1.  They’re available at the BYU Marriot Ticket office through October 24, 2009.

Let me know if you hear of any screaming deals.

Ski you on the slopes!
