Start your deck budget with your home's price, not with a photo you saved.

I get asked about deck budgets constantly, and it's almost always after somebody has already picked out the design.

One more number worth knowing. Most pros keep a deck to about 10% to 15% of the home's square footage. On a 2,500 square foot house that's roughly 250 to 375 square feet. Go bigger and you start eating into the yard buyers wanted, which works against you even when the deck itself is beautiful.

DM me DECK and I'll tell you what buyers expect at your price.

Off-leash spots are not interchangeable. Some suit a dog who runs, some suit a dog who would rather sniff.

A dog who bolts needs a fence. A dog with energy to burn needs room. Worth knowing which one you have before you pick a spot.

All five are close enough to be a regular thing rather than a trip.

Send this to whoever needs a new spot.

The off-leash list around Salt Lake is longer than the two names that always come up.

5 trails and parks around here where dogs get to run off leash.

🦮 Millcreek Canyon - Dog Lake and the Big Water Trail give dogs a spot to cool off and swim.
🦮 Tanner Park - Paved walkways and a playground up top, quieter in the mornings before the crowds.
🦮 Neffs Canyon - No parking after 10pm, and the stream can dry up some summers.
🦮 Mount Olympus Trailhead - It's a steep climb with scrambles near the top, best for strong, fit dogs.
🦮 Ferguson Park - Water stations throughout and two small pavilions if you need some shade.

Check whether each one is fenced or open before you go. A dog who bolts needs a fence. A dog with too much energy needs open ground.

Send this to whoever you always end up walking dogs with.

"Let's list high and come down if we have to" is costing sellers real money right now.

The thinking makes sense on paper. Start high, leave room to negotiate, drop the price if it doesn't move. No harm done.

But there is harm. It's just quiet.

Buyers aren't negotiating your high price down. They have too many other homes to look at, so they skip yours and never call. You never hear the "no." You just get silence, and then a price cut a month later.

By then the listing is stale. The same buyers who would've jumped in week one now assume something's wrong with it.

That's why the day-one price matters more than almost anything else you'll decide. It's not a starting point you can walk back for free. It's the thing that decides who shows up while your interest is highest.

If you're weighing a move this year, send me a message. I'll pull the real numbers for your home and your neighborhood so you price it right the first time.

You could name your one sunset spot in Salt Lake right now without thinking about it.

Most of us have exactly one. You found it early, you take people there when they visit, and you never went looking for the rest.

The 5 in the video are the ones worth the trip.

The timing is the part people mess up. Getting there at sunset means getting there late.

Save this so you have it the next time you get out of work and the sky is doing something.

"We can always come down later" is the line that costs sellers the most.

It sounds safe. Start high, leave room to negotiate, drop the price if the house doesn't move.

But buyers don't negotiate a high price down anymore. They have too many other homes to look at, so they skip yours and never call. You don't get a low offer to counter. You get silence, then a price cut a month later.

The thing the slides don't have room for: the price cut itself becomes the story. Buyers see the reduction and assume something's wrong, so the house that was overpriced now gets treated like it's flawed. Two strikes from one decision.

If you're weighing a move this year, send me a message. I'll pull the real numbers for your home and your neighborhood so you price it right the first time.

Sellers are giving concessions at a record rate. Here's how to actually use that.

For a few years, buying meant waiving the inspection, racing five other offers, and paying over asking just to lose anyway. A lot of people stepped back and waited. That market is fading.

There are more homes on the market now than there have been in years. When buyers have options, sellers have to compete, and right now nearly half of them are offering concessions. That's the highest share on record for this time of year.

A concession isn't just a lower price. It can be the seller covering your closing costs, paying for repairs the inspection turns up, or buying down your rate so your monthly payment drops. On the right listing, that's thousands of dollars you're leaving on the table if you don't ask.

The leverage is real, but it's uneven. A house that's sat for a month has far more room to give than one listed last week, and knowing which is which is the whole game.

If you've been sitting out, send me a message. I'll walk you through what you can actually ask for right now.

Most sunset spots are fine. These are the ones I'd actually send someone to.

Half of them you've probably driven past without knowing what you were missing. A clear line to the light — an open horizon, a glowing skyline, or a peak catching the last of it — nothing in the way, and somewhere to sit once the color starts. That's the whole list.

📍 Neffs Canyon - The valley opens up below and the Wasatch catches the last light.
📍 Mount Olympus Trailhead - You can watch from the parking lot or hike up for valley views.
📍 Flat Iron Mesa Park - Wide open field with mountain views and benches for when the sky turns.
📍 Holladay City Hall Park - Mount Olympus is right behind you and the gazebo's perfect for sitting.
📍 Olympus Hills - The walking paths give you elevation for city views without a real hike.

Send this to whoever you'd watch a sunset with.

The projects that feel the best to live in are usually the worst ones to do right before you sell.

People pour their budget into the primary suite or a full kitchen because those are the spaces they love. Then they get almost none of it back at closing.

The stuff that actually pays back is small and boring and mostly on the outside. A door. Some siding. The face of the garage.

Even if selling is years away, this changes what you do first. Fix the things buyers judge from the curb before you sink money into a remodel you'll want redone by the time you list anyway.

If you know someone getting ready to sell, send them this before they spend a dollar in the wrong place.
