A note from Jordan

Hi Mark & Jenna — fall is here, and our corner of Davis County is still one of the tightest markets on the Wasatch Front. Your home gained an estimated $6,000 this month, and two homes within a half mile went under contract in under a week. Below is what I'm watching on your street. It's what I'd want to know if it were my home.

05Your neighborhood's story

The town that was waiting on a baby

In 1939, four neighbors (Archie and E. Glenn Green, Sam Raymond and Alden Burton) set out to make the farm settlement above Kaysville a town of its own, so it could pipe in water instead of hauling it from Haight's and Baer Creeks. Incorporation needed 100 residents. An expected baby helped get them there, and the first town meeting was held on August 23, 1939. They named it Fruit Heights, after the peach, apple and apricot orchards pioneer Grandison Raymond Sr. began planting in the 1850s.

c. 1850
Families settle along the Old Mountain Road, the trade route between Salt Lake City and Ogden.
1917
Arthur Butcher buys the area's first car, a Ford, for $411.
1948
Highway 89 cuts through the farms and pulls traffic off Mountain Road.
Today
About 6,100 neighbors, and orchards still dot the bench.

06Jordan's take

What this means for you

If you're staying put

Your estimated equity gives you options: a remodel, a rental down the road, or simply peace of mind. Your value is tracking above the neighborhood, so the kitchen paid off.

If you're curious about selling

In your price range, homes priced at value go under contract in about three weeks. Spring brings more buyers, but more competing listings too. Timing is worth a conversation.

If you think like an investor

Homes like yours nearby rent for about [$X,XXX] a month. I run these numbers for my own properties, and I'm happy to run them for yours.
