It won’t be long before the leaves start changing colors and the temperatures start to drop. The Fall, much like the Spring, is a time when both sides of the real estate market start to kick back into gear. Lawns start to green up, and as the autumn colors come into shape, properties showcase well. If you’re a buyer and didn’t find your dream property this summer, give Fall a chance. If you are a Seller, early Fall is an excellent time to bring your home to market and impress potential buyers. HOME HIGHLIGHT- LOCATION IS EVERYTHING - SLC NEIGHBORHOODS - From the valley floor up to the benches, Salt Lake City has a variety of neighborhoods that have their own sense of character and charm. Each of these little communities has its own unique characteristics that will fit into anyone's budget, style and vibe. I'm always happy to go through these more in depth if you are interested in looking for a home in a neighborhood you are unfamiliar with. FEDERAL HEIGHTS | This elegant neighborhood features large tree-lined streets, stately homes, and lawns and gardens manicured to perfection. It's within close proximity to the foothills and features gorgeous homes on big lots. The secluded feel of Federal Heights makes it a top spot for high-end homes, both new and classic. *video done for a current listing. Get in touch if you're interested in seeing it in person. HARVARD / YALE | I love the feel of the lower reaches of the East Bench. Everything from Bungalows to mid-century moderns, and even older builds make this one of the most architecturally diverse zones in the city. Accessibility is everything in the Harvard/Yale neighborhood. Great schools, little local markets, and restaurants are within a short walk from your stoop, making it a very appealing area for young families. ST. MARYS | Views for days! The foothills of the towering peaks of the Wasatch are scattered with gorgeous rambler ranch style homes. Nestled into the hillsides are dwellings that generally sit on bigger than average lots and have a more secluded feel. St. Mary's is the best of both worlds. Easy access to city life with a more rural feel. CAPITOL HILL / MARMALADE | When you live on Capitol Hill, you're in touch with the pulse of the city. Modern architecture has been the theme here for the past few years, but the older historic homes still hold down the foundation of one of the oldest neighborhoods in SLC. Views of the lake and the entire valley make you feel connected to this wonderful place we call home. UPCOMING NEIGHBORHOODS: LIBERTY WELLS AND LOWER 9TH & 9TH | Keep your eyes out for homes in these SLC hot spots. The community west of 7th East has been re-branding itself for a while now, but I feel like it's really come into its own in the last few years. It's a great option for smaller, value oriented homes that could be great for your first foray into ownership. SLC - HAPPENINGSSALT LAKE CITY IS A HUB FOR CULTURE AND ADVENTURE.
