Embracing Mistakes, Pursuing Continuous Learning, and Enhancing Client Service
As a seasoned Realtor®, I often receive calls from fellow agents seeking my perspective on various real estate challenges they encounter. I usually start by reminding them, "You know I am not an attorney, right?" This underscores that while my advice is rooted in extensive real estate experience, it doesn't replace legal expertise. For legal queries, I recommend contacting the legal hotline provided by the Utah Association Realtors® (801-676-5211). They have attorneys available to address all your legal concerns.
In this industry, making mistakes is inevitable. Whether it's an oversight during a transaction or an error that leads to additional costs for a client— like the purchase of a new appliance—the key is not to avoid mistakes but to respond to them constructively. Mistakes provide valuable lessons that identify growth areas, helping us improve and become more adept agents for our clients.
"There's always more to learn" is a maxim that holds particularly true in real estate. The more knowledgeable we are, the better equipped we are to serve our clients. One effective way to enhance our expertise is through professional designations. I strongly advocate for these credentials; they provide essential knowledge that aids our clients in making well-informed decisions.
For those who have not yet pursued their Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) designation, consider this a gentle nudge. The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) offers this designation for free—an excellent opportunity to enhance your skills without financial burden. Additionally, the Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) endorsement from NAR is also available at no cost and contributes three hours towards the required core education.
Our industry often faces challenges with public perception. To shift this, we must continuously strive to better ourselves, enhance our service, and provide greater value to our clients. Improving daily, both personally and professionally, is essential. Education and self-improvement are ongoing endeavors that require dedication and hard work.

Happenings In the News
Owning v. Renting
The Salt Lake Board of Realtors® published a sponsored article on the benefits of owning a home v. renting on KSL.com on May 14. The article highlighted the benefits of owning a home, including the fact that a monthly mortgage payment can act as a kind of enforced savings plan, enabling homeowners to build a net worth approximately 40 times greater than that of renters. In fact, the Federal Reserve Board’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances reports that the typical homeowner’s net worth has climbed to $396,200, compared to $10,400 for renters. A 2023 study by the National Association of Realtors® demonstrated that middleincome homeowners nationwide accumulated more than $122,000 in wealth due to their homes appreciating by 68% over the past 10 years.
Single-Family Sales and Prices Rise in Q1
Despite higherthan-normal mortgage interest rates, singlefamily home sales and prices both increased in the first quarter in Salt Lake County, rising by 3% and 6%, respectively. The median price of a condominium fell by 2% yearover-year during the same period. However, the number of condo units sold increased by 18% in the first quarter. The typical home took 53 days to sell in the first quarter, down from 57 days a year earlier. Additionally, more people put their homes on the market, with new listings increasing by 17%.
More Listings, Price Reductions
High interest rates and a growing glut of homes for sale are leading many homeowners to reduce prices, hoping to entice discerning buyers to bid, according to Realtor.com. And some markets are feeling it more than others.
The percentage of homes with price reductions is on the rise, increasing from 12.7% in May 2023 to 16.6% in May of this year. In fact, 46 of the 50 largest metros saw the share of price reductions increase compared with last May, up from 44 in April.
In Salt Lake County, active listings increased to 2,260 as of May 31, up 4% from 1,595 a year earlier, according to UtahRealEstate.com. Sellers reduced their listing price about 1% compared to the median sold price in May.
The South saw a 4.9 percentage point increase in price reductions year over year. For comparison, the West recorded a 3.3 increase, the Midwest 2.2, and the Northeast the lowest, at 1.2
The number of homes on the market in May has increased 34.2% since a year earlier, which has squeezed home sellers even more. Homes are spending an average of 44 days on the market, and that’s left many homeowners with no choice but to cut prices.
“With greater inventory and a slower time on market, it is possible that price growth might continue to decelerate further until the market sees a meaningful decline in mortgage rates,” noted Realtor.com economic data manager Sabrina Speianu in her analysis.
The Salt Lake Home Builders Association will host its 78th annual Parade of Homes Aug. 2 through Aug. 17. Salt Lake Realtor® Magazine asked Caroline Merrill, newly installed executive officer of the Salt Lake Home Builders Association, her thoughts about this year’s Parade and where Utah’s housing market is headed.
1. What’s new in this year’s Parade of Homes? What styles and price ranges make this year unique?
This year’s Parade of Homes promises a variety of architectural styles, from classic colonial to modern designs. These homes offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship and innovation of local builders, and members of the Salt Lake Home Builders Association. There’s something to see for everyone at this year’s Salt Lake Parade of Homes!
Homes span a wide price range, from the low $400,000, to multimillions, accommodating various budgets and features.
One of the entries in this year’s Parade is located on the Draper bench, with expansive views of the Salt Lake Valley. This modern styled home has vast glass walls that provide unobstructed valley views of Salt Lake. The home also includes a custom pool and spa, golf simulator, home gym, theater room, bar and indoor basketball court – offering an array of entertainment options in the home.
In collaboration, the Salt Lake Home Builders Association and Homeaid Utah have partnered to showcase a memorable home renovation, the Milestone House. This special project provides housing for young adults ages 19 to 21 who are experiencing homelessness. The goal of Milestone House is to create a safe, positive, and empowering environment where these individuals can focus on personal growth and work towards their dreams.
2. What is your background and experience as the Salt Lake Home Builders Association new executive officer?
I’m excited to be working with the Salt Lake Home Builders Association again! It all began with coordinating events at the Home Builders Association of Utah. Then, the Salt Lake Home Builders Association welcomed me as their Director of Events, where I coordinated the Salt Lake Parade of Homes and other various events. My HBA journey continued as the Executive Officer of the Utah Valley Home Builders Association—a rewarding six-year chapter. Along the way, I started an architectural/real estate photography business, capturing homes of all shapes and sizes through my lens. And now, here I am, back with the Salt Lake Home Builders Association. It feels like coming home.
3. How many homes are in this year’s Parade? How many people do you expect to tour this year’s Parade homes? This year we invite you to explore 20 homes of varying styles, shapes, and sizes. These homes are spread throughout the Salt Lake Valley, with one home in Grantsville. Take the time to drive out west and see what there is to offer in Tooele County! We are looking forward to expanding our reach with the Parade in 2024!
4. What is the history of the Salt Lake Parade of Homes?
Since its inception in 1946, the Salt Lake Parade of Homes has been an annual tradition—one that we’re continuing into our 78th year! From the early days, builders in the Salt Lake valley understood the profound impact of homeownership to individuals and families, and this understanding continues to shape our tradition of homeownership today. The Salt Lake Parade of Homes was the first of its kind in the nation. It offers attendees an opportunity to explore fresh design concepts and discover the latest home trends.
5. What are the bottlenecks in building new homes today? In today’s market, there are many reasons for the bottleneck in building new homes. These reasons include home costs, environmental regulations, zoning and land availability, construction labor shortages, increased material costs, and interest rates, among others. High home costs and interest rates pose equal challenges for both builders and buyers. These factors collectively contribute to the bottleneck in new home construction and require a comprehensive solution to address it effectively.
6. What advice would you give a first-time home buyer? Owning a home continues to be a dream for many, although it has become more challenging to achieve in today’s market. Information can be your best ally! There are several areas that new home buyers should be aware of. Understanding your financial situation, determining what you can afford, and knowing what first-time home buyer programs are available to you might be the best advice I can give. Be educated. Go into your search with your eyes wide open. Be patient and research the options available to you as a first-time homebuyer. Happy house hunting!
7. What can cities do to make housing more affordable? (I wanted to inform the public on costs at the city level with this question, and then answer it. Use whatever you want!)
Simplifying and expediting building permits through streamlining the permitting process would be a great step toward enhancing housing affordability. By doing so, construction costs can be reduced, encouraging further development.
Additionally, consumers would benefit from a careful review of the city’s impact fees. In Utah, did you know that $20,000$40,000 of a new home build goes to the municipality in which a home is constructed? Cities in Utah can legally collect “impact fees” from new development, offsetting the impact of growth on municipal infrastructure. These fees should only cover costs incurred due to infrastructure impact. The impact fees are based on water systems, roads, wastewater, stormwater, power facilities, parks, open spaces and trails, public safety facilities and public safety. Typically, impact fees account for 4% - 8% of new construction costs, depending on the city. It’s essential to be informed about these fees before building a home!

Is it Harder to Buy a House Today Than in the Early 1980s?
By The Lighter Side of Real Estate
If you’re in one of the younger generations, buying a house right now likely feels pretty difficult, if not impossible. If you’re like a lot of younger people, you probably feel like the best chance you have at avoiding becoming a “forever renter” is to hit the lottery. (And not one that pays out a few thousand bucks. We’re talking mega millions…)
It’s easy to feel like this might be the worst time in history to buy your first home when so many younger people are facing historically high home prices, mortgage rates that have gone up quickly and considerably in a short amount of time, and often have a lot of student loans to pay off with salaries that aren’t
stretching as far due to inflation.
So when a Baby Boomer (or a real estate agent) starts throwing around how interest rates were 18% back in 1981, it comes across like they’re trying to make it sound like it was tougher back in their day. It’s the real estate equivalent to claiming they walked 10 miles to school, barefoot, uphill both ways, in a blizzard. It sounds like an exaggeration they use just to minimize how tough you truly have it.
Sure, as Baby Boomers (or agents) like to point out, interest rates back in the early eighties were sky high. But, as the current younger generations like to point out, houses also cost a lot less back then!
Both generations have valid points of view, so which generation is right about it being a more difficult time period to buy a home?
Perhaps the better question is: Does the truth even matter if you personally feel like owning a home is too expensive and unattainable now?
Boomers “Win” the Contest for Having Struggled the Most
Apparently, it actually was more difficult for Boomers to buy a house back in the day!
According to this Yahoo Finance article, a recent analysis of historic home prices, income levels and mortgage rates found that the toughest housing market for firsttime buyers was in the early 1980’s.
That assessment isn’t just based upon the fact that mortgage rates were more than double the current rates, but also these factors:
• The average loan payment increased by 34% in one year in 1980.
• The typical mortgage payment for Baby Boomers buying their first house took up 33.2% of their income, as compared to 22.5% for Millennials, 22.6% for the Silent Generations, and 25.8% for Generation X.
• While mortgage companies prefer home buyers to have a debt-to-income level of below 28% — which is how much of a person’s monthly income goes to paying their debts — there are times where it goes above 30% in each generation. However, the ratio reached an all-time high of 53.69% in the third quarter of 1981.
• Even though they did not have as much student loan debt, the job market and unemployment was worse at that time.
So, technically speaking, it was more difficult for Baby Boomers to buy their first house than the current younger generations.
Perspective and Hope to First-Time Buyers
But back to the question posed above: Does it really matter if you feel like the economy and odds are stacked against you buying a house in the early 2020’s?
The short answer is, probably.
It’s not that you can prove or disprove that it matters with data. It’s more of a mentality issue — if you think homeownership is unattainable, it’s certainly not going to help you become a homeowner.
Whenever the topic is discussed, there are always people in the younger generation who get defensive
and try to give reasons why it’s actually more difficult for them to buy a house right now. This would probably hold true whether the statement referred to the year 2024, 2004, 1994, 1984… or any other year. Buying your first house is almost always relatively difficult for any person, in any generation. As the saying goes, if it were easy, everyone would do it.
On one level, it may be annoying to hear that Baby Boomers did in fact have a more difficult time buying their first home. But the real takeaway should be that so many of them did buy a house, even though it wasn’t easy for them to do.
If you feel like it’s an attack when people try to offer perspective on how buying a house isn’t the most difficult or impossible thing to do, and you’d rather try
and prove to them (and yourself) that it’s the worst time in history to try and buy a house, you’re entitled to feel that way.
But if you’re looking for hope that becoming a homeowner is possible for you, these recent findings should be plenty of proof that first-time buyers somehow manage to buy a home in even the toughest markets. And it’s probably obvious how well that worked out for Baby Boomers who did so back in the eighties.
The Takeaway
Buying a home right now feels nearly impossible for younger generations facing high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and student loan debt.
While it might be annoying when Baby Boomers claim it was tougher back in their day, recent analysis confirms it was more difficult for them to buy a house in the early 1980s due to skyrocketing mortgage rates and a higher debt-to-income ratio. Despite these challenges, many Boomers still managed to become homeowners.
The key lesson? Buying your first house is often difficult, relative to the current economy and real estate market, but it’s not unattainable. If Boomers could do it in what was the most difficult market historically, there’s hope for today’s first-time buyers too.

10 Ways Real Estate Pros Can Save When Money Is Tight
A good rule of thumb is to put enough savings to cover six months of expenses into a cash or stable value-type account.
By Melissa Dittmann Tracey
News about economic tumult may be making you feel jittery about your finances. After all, 37% of agents recently said they were struggling to pay rent for their offices, according to a poll by Alignable, an online network for small business owners.
Real estate professionals, along with other American workers, may not be feeling particularly rich: About six in 10 consumers say they are living paycheck to paycheck—about 45% of whom earn more than $100,000 per year—according to a recent poll from PYMNTS and LendingClub. Further, consider that the median gross income of Realtors® was $54,330, according to NAR data.
To weather potential business hiccups, financial experts offer 10 money-saving tips.
1. Beef up your reserves. A reserve account consists of savings to cover any unforeseen expenses, which can be crucial during tough financial periods. For
the self-employed, a good rule of thumb is to put enough savings to cover six months of expenses into a cash or stable value-type account, advises Brian Wiley, founder of Tree City Advisors in Boise, Idaho, and host of “The Real Money Pros” radio show.
2. Revisit your spending habits. Scrutinize your expenses to find ways to reduce or eliminate excess. “This is a good practice in any economy, but it’s even more important when cashflow is limited,” Wiley said. “You might be surprised how much you can save by eliminating extra television services, daily lattes and memberships.” Pay special attention to items like your car or homeowner’s insurance: Drivers who comparison shop on auto insurance, for example, can save an average of $1,127 a year, according to a study from CarInsurance.com.
Michael Soon Lee, CRS, GRI, associate broker at Realty ONE Group Future in Dublin, Calif., advised in
a Center for Realtor® Financial wellness webinar to cut at least $1,000 a month in personal expenses, particularly if you lack three or six months’ worth of savings. Cut back on non-critical spending, such as dining out, gym memberships, coffee shop visits and cable TV, and find more ways to save at sites like AmericaSaves.org, he suggests.
3. Re-evaluate where you’re investing money. Assess the value of all your accounts like checking, savings, investments, retirement, etc. “Each of these may become critical resources and should be prepared ahead of a need,” Wiley said. “The best practice is to have any money, which might be needed in the next three years, set aside as a ‘cash-like’ investment, such as a CD, money market or short-term government bond.” On the other hand, stocks are often volatile in an economic slowdown and often require a more long-term growth strategy. So, if you have an important savings goal to fund within a year, choose a more stable investment, like CDs or bonds. “Be sure risk investments are purposeful and are given the amount of time needed to recover before the value is needed,” Wiley noted.
4. Get smarter about taxes. Work with a qualified
that your business is structured appropriately, Wiley suggested. For example, how much of your income should be designated as W-2 pay (selfemployment income)? In some cases, the answer may be all of it, Wiley said. “But in many other cases, the answer is some of it, which leaves the balance to be distributed as a dividend if you are filing as an S-Corporation,” he added. “This type of strategy could save you lots of tax dollars.” Wiley said the top financial mistake real estate professionals make is not saving enough for taxes and missing out on savings. “If you do not have a good tax plan, then you are likely paying much more in taxes than necessary,” he said. “I have seen many cases where independent contractors pay 50% more in taxes than they should.”
5. Create a budget. You’ve heard it before, but now is a good time to have a budget. Too often, “many people discount the concept of making a budget until they find themselves living in lean times,” Wiley said. “It is always better to be prepared—and trained—before you need to adhere to a tight budget.” Have a personal and business budget that estimates your earnings and expenses and breaks down a full list, item by item, of regular expenses. Track how you do and modify when needed. Need
Wellness includes budgeting tips and spreadsheets to help. Sites like Mint. com or your bank, credit union or credit card company likely offer budgeting tools as well, Wiley said.
6. Open specialized savings accounts. To help stay on budget, financial experts recommend opening multiple, individual savings accounts. For example, pool funds into multiple accounts labeled for emergency/ reserves, taxes, retirement and business expenses. Ryan Serhant, CEO of Serhant and equity holder in RLTY Capital, offers tips to independent contractors on financial health. Since the beginning of his real estate career, he has allocated commission checks to separate banking accounts, particularly for taxes, to avoid spending commission money he doesn’t really have. His general rule of thumb: Save one-third of each paycheck for taxes and one-third for living expenses; the rest can go to savings.
7. Keep on investing. No matter the market, it’s always smart to continue investing, Wiley said. He recommends a dollar-cost averaging strategy—the practice of investing a fixed dollar amount on a regular basis. In a sluggish market, the lower prices on investments can serve as an advantage in that they likely will increase over time. Also, investing even a little amount could make a significant difference over the long haul. For example, the Acorns app automatically rounds up the price on everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and then places the excess into an investment portfolio. So, if you buy a donut for $2.30, Acorns rounds that to $3 and invests the 70-cent difference on your behalf. Daily spare change like that could amount to $900 per year in investments.
8. Consider a side hustle. If you’re especially tight on money, consider a side hustle to supplement your income and leverage your skillsets in other ways. Lee suggested generating extra funds by serving as a notary (which could offer $75 to $200 per appointment), home stager, appraiser or property manager. However, understand that you also likely will need to get extra training or licenses to do many of these jobs. To find opportunities, Lee cites websites like SideHustleNation.com or Upwork.com which connect professionals to businesses who are seeking specialized services.
9. Bank on the future. Retirement savings are often one of the first expenses people nix when finances get lean. Wiley, who hosted a webinar for the Center for Realtor® Financial Wellness in January called
“How Inflation and Market Volatility May Impact Your Plans for Retirement,” said there are many strategies for independent contractors to save for their post-career future. He suggests setting aside at least 10% of gross income for retirement. If you haven’t been doing that, you can still catch up. Most real estate professionals have their biggest earning years in the latter third of their career, he said. This still “presents a great opportunity to save more of their income for retirement and to use the many tax advantages offered to ‘late savers,’ such as catch-up contribution limits in 401(k)s, IRAs and ROTH IRAs,” he added. “Saving more in these types of retirement plans will not only help the professional have a larger nest egg but will likely also reduce taxes along the way. Consider it more of a ‘snowball’ effect.” Wiley also said ROTH conversions during lower income years could serve as another retirement savings tool.
10. Find extra guidance. Financial advisers and tax planners can help you identify ways to meet your savings goals and expand your financial safety nets. Also, sites like financialwellness.realtor, an educational resource for real estate professionals provided by NAR, offers personalized financial planning goals, budgeting tips, tax and retirement planning, and ongoing webinars on various topics. “Get help from an investment professional if you need guidance, and always be sure to only hire an adviser who will work in your best fiduciary interests,” Wiley said.

MAY 2024
Median Price of a Single-Family Home Climbs to $625,000
Home sales continued to rise in May in Salt Lake County, according to UtahRealEstate. com. There were 1,167 sales of all housing types for the month, up 1.13% compared to May 2023. Single-family home sales accounted for 71% of the total sales.
In neighboring Davis County, home sales fell by 7.30%, with 343 units sold in May. Weber County also experienced a decline in sales, down 5.45%. Conversely, Utah and Tooele counties saw increases in sales, up 1.53% and 28.95%, respectively.
The notable news in May was the increase in listings. In Salt Lake County, new listings rose to 1,792, a 20.11% increase from 1,492 in May 2023. Despite this, the median price of homes sold in the county increased to $543,000, a 2.26% rise from $531,000 a year ago. The price of a single-family home climbed to $625,000, a 4.17% increase from $600,000 in May 2023.
Nationally, existing-home sales declined in May as the median sales price climbed to a record high, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Total existing-home sales—completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops—fell by 0.7% from April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.11 million in May. Year-over-year, sales decreased by 2.8% (down from 4.23 million in May 2023).
“Eventually, more inventory will help boost home sales and tame home price gains in the upcoming months,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “Increased housing supply spells good news for consumers who want to see more properties before making purchasing decisions.”
The median U.S. existing-home price for all housing types in May was $419,300, the highest price ever recorded and an increase of 5.8% from one year ago ($396,500). All four U.S. regions registered price gains.
“Home prices reaching new highs are creating a wider divide between those owning properties and those who wish to be first-time buyers,” Yun added. “The mortgage payment for a typical home today is more than double that of homes purchased before 2020. Still, first-time buyers in the market understand the long-term benefits of owning.”
“Eventually, more inventory will help boost home sales and tame home price gains in the upcoming months.”

Krisel Land Acquisitioner Rhea Construction Scheduler
HOMETOWN: Lindon, Utah
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT D.R. HORTON?
(Krisel) “I love coming to work surrounded by good people who work their best and have the common goal of providing beautiful neighborhoods with affordable homes. In my job, I interact with many company departments, and I see our communities take shape from dirt to completion. Together, we produce a neighborhood that is built well, beautiful, livable for all stages of life and has a sense of community that stands the test of time.”
(Rhea) “As an architect’s daughter, I’ve always had an appreciation for the way the design of a home can shape a community. D.R. Horton builds homes for every step of the home buying journey. Being a part of a team that continuously creates good looking homes and communities has been an amazing opportunity.”
Krisel (pictured right) is a Land Acquisitioner at D.R. Horton, Utah Division, and is excited and proud to have a family member (Rhea, pictured left) working alongside her at a company where family is first
All in, for Community.
On Friday, June 7th, Windermere offices across the West Coast closed their doors to give back to the community. In Utah, we lent our time to South Salt Lake, cleaning, updating, and maintaining Fitts Park.
