Heber City, UT

Heber City, Utah's real estate  is extremely hot right now.  We could put a listing on the market right now and we could easily receive 10 offers. I wouldn't recommend taking the highest bid, to my clients

Instead, we as Professionals working for our clients would take the cash offer because wee want to ensure that there were no hang-ups along the way toward closing, 

Appraisals, are not keeping up with the sales prices. If the appraisal doesn’t match the contracted price, buyers usually can’t get the mortgage and then never make it to settlement.

They’re kind of putting a glass ceiling where we can’t raise our prices any higher than we have comps to support it, so we REALTORS are definitely going with more cash offers than we used to,

First-time buyers are feeling the brunt of the competition. They tend to be more mortgage-dependent and many also using low down-payment loans, which tend to have stricter underwriting standards. When appraisals come in even the slightest bit under the contract price, the mortgage financing can fall through.

Anytime prices move up fast, the actual appraisal process, because they’re looking back in history, not forward into the future, they are lagging behind, 

From the buyer’s perspective, it’s a tough situation where they want to rely on the value of the home, on the appraisal, yet they know that if they decide to back away there are other buyers waiting to pounce.

“In today’s real estate landscape, it’s important that we continue to empower our advisors by aligning with strategic partners who provide the greatest opportunities to give our network and consumers a competitive edge in selling homes efficiently,” said Anthony Hitt, CEO of Engel & Völkers North America. “EDGE goes beyond a standard syndication function by truly marketing our listings to relevant consumer segments in ways in which they want to be marketed.”

EDGE is inclusive of primary digital and mobile platforms reaching over 500 million consumers each month, from first-time homebuyers to the most affluent clientele – a reflection of Engel & Völkers’ breadth of service experience.

In addition to broad, yet strategic listing exposure benefits, EDGE provides specific advertising, lead generation, editorial, language translations and consumer insights that are easily sharable with Engel & Völkers advisors and clients. Engel & Völkers advisors have access to metrics that can help drive and refine strategy for their specific listings and be shared with clients to clearly show the extensive exposure being provided through the program.

"Now is the right time to enhance our current syndication offerings into something much more robust, exclusive to our network and via a platform that we can enhance and evolve with the changing needs of our advisors and clients,” said Jill DeSilva, SVP of Marketing & Platform Development for Engel & Völkers North America. “We will always lead with personal experience and leverage the right technologies to enhance the white glove service that’s synonymous with Engel & Völkers.”

Park City, Utah - Bus system goes electric

Park City, Summit County launch fleet of electric buses

SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah -- Park City and Summit County have launched their new electric bus fleet called the Electric Xpress.

The fleet includes six buses that run only on electricity.

They received a federal grant of $3.9 million for transit last August, and in 11 months’ time they have the E-buses on the ground and working as of Friday.

“There are very few cities that have been bold enough to take on a new technology and embrace it the way Park City does,” said Proterra CEO Ryan Popple.

Proterra is the electric bus company.

“These vehicles are powered by a very powerful, energy-dense electric motor that is capable of climbing the hills in Park City and driving in the snow,” Popple said.

Darren Davis, Park City Transit Manager, said the buses will help them achieve goals.

“We are trying to do something that really supports our sustainability goals,” Davis said.

Davis said Park City is on track to meet its zero-carbon footprint by 2022. Summit County plans to cut its carbon emission by 50 percent by 2032.

“It kind of sets the stage for the nation,” Davis said. “Hope they follow our lead.”

A regular diesel bus only gets about four miles to the gallon, while the Proterra electric buses are six times more efficient, according to Proterra.

The E-bus route is from Kimball Junction to the Old Town Transit Center. It will run seven days a week from 7 a.m. to midnight, and it is a fare-free ride.
