Do you know your home's value?

An article in the April issue of the Salt Lake REALTOR magazine caught my eye, so I am sharing it with you.

The national average for home price appreciation from the end of 2017 to the end of 2018 was 5.73%. Utah's price increase was 9.8% for that same time frame, giving us the 3rd place slot in the nation for increased home prices. Idaho took 1st place with an 11.93% increase and North Dakota took last place with a .02% increase. 

Statistics for this information were taken from the last quarter of 2017 to the last quarter of 2018 and were calculated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

If you take this information and put it to practical application, you can speculate and theorize that if you purchased a home in Utah during the last quarter of 2017 for $300,000, it was worth $329,400 during the last quarter of 2018. That is a 9.8% price increase, and that is a significant increase in your home's appreciation.

If you would like to know what your home is worth, I can give you a free comparative market analysis on your home. Just give me a call and we can determine what your home's value is today.

Ready to make the easiest AND tastiest cheesecake, EVER?

One day one of our 4th grade sons brought home a cookbook from the school library. He wanted to make cheesecake, and so we did. That was a year or two ago and since then I think we have perfected the cheesecake.

Here is the latest and greatest.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE
2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

3/4 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 ready-to-use graham cracker crust

Mix cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla at medium speed with electric mixer until well blended.  Add eggs and mix until blended. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.

Pour into crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chips on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight before serving.

It is so GOOD!
