Single Mom Knows Now is the Time to Buy!

One of my regular Saturday activities is showing buyers homes! It is one of the best parts of my job, especially when I get to work with a single Mom and two cute children like I did yesterday. A home on Harrison Blvd in northern Ogden had caught their eye. The Seller had gone to a lot of work to add a marble Jacuzzi bathroom, new tile, and some creative landscaping. The view of the mountains from the living room was clearly a plus. The draw-back for my clients was that the backyard was not fully fenced and it was on busy Harrison Blvd. Here is more property information and a virtual tour of this home. It is priced to sell at $170K but that busy street will cause some to think before paying that price.

The second house we saw was just to get some comparison for the same area. This home, located at 1275 N. Willard Peak Drive in Ogden is listed at $172,000. This home has a newly finished third bedroom, a fully fenced backyard, and safely off the busy road of the first home. After our little family toured both homes, they eliminated the first from their list because they liked the floor plan and the amenities of this home over the first. I love this neighborhood too because of the good schools and recreational activities in this part of Ogden. If you like road or mountain biking you will like the gentle hills. If you like seeing mountains go straight up from you front window you will like this area as well. Here are the full details on the Willard Peak home. Like this little family, you’ll like the open floor plan, upgraded kitchen, and triple garage. The rock front and high showing rate make this home one of the most popular in the neighborhood.

One thing for sure, I am excited to do more showings with this single mom family until we find just the right place for them to put down roots in Ogden.
