Salt Lake Real Estate Stuff I Didn't Have Time To Blog !
My desk, in fact my entire office is just overflowing with Real Estate articles, clippings and other things related to the Housing market in and around Salt Lake City. At one time I must have thought they were important enough or interesting enough to save so that sometime later I could tell you about them through my Real Estate Blog.
I never got around to it, and now instead of inspiration, it's just clutter.
As I toss & shred I recognise the information, but I have long since lost the ""AH HAH" moment that was to be the germ of an article.
Rather than just let all this info be carried away on Monday morning, never to be commented on, I'm just going to jot down the essence that I once thought could make important and interesting Real Estate Information.
I'll let you make up a story to fit the topic.

Ivory Homes one of Utah's largest New Home Builders has entered the 55+ age group market with a line of condos and single family homes that appeal to an age group that no longer wants to be responsible for outside maintenance, and desires the freedom to pack up and leave for a couple of weeks without seeing the homestead go to the dogs. Like just about everything Ivory Homes does, it will be well thought out and of high quality. From the Salt Lake tribune 2/27/09.
More than 3 dozen units in the Regent, a downtown Salt Lake City Condominium project have been reserved. Fifty four units are left in the first phase. Since the Regent is a 20 story project I'm wondering how you phase construction on 150 Condominiums. Courtesy Salt Lake Tribune 11/01/09.
That area on the corner of 90th South and 2200 West will be forever known as "the Pumpkin Patch" to West Jordan homes Owners.
