So I ended last week on a very positive note. I closed with my buyer's on a Short Sale Listing in Draper, located in Corner Canyon Estates. The home was in fabulous condition. The location? Exactly where we wanted to be and the spacious and lush backyard would entertain most buyer's needs. The Real deal maker was the price. $325,000 and $9000 in closing costs. This was not a Suncrest or South Mountain listing. This home had a very usable, almost 1/2 acre lot with a 3 car garage and on a cul-de-sac. Anyways, I don't want to brag but what a great buy! I also wanted to commend the listing agent and while I don't make it a habit to endorse the competition... TAMMY CAMPBELL with the Alliance Group was amazing. She really knows short sales and her attention to details and finishing touches is amazing! I will forever encourage my Draper home buyer's to consider a Short Sale listed by Tammy. My personal opinion of Short Sales has change because of this transaction. Here is a pic of the Draper House priced at 325,000!

Salt Lake City Market Update:
The Salt Lake Board of REALTORS® announced that 1,934 existing single-family homes were sold in Salt Lake County in the fourth quarter of 2010, down 21 percent compared to 2,450 sales in the fourth quarter 2009.
“It’s no surprise that home sales were down compared to last year,” said DeAnna Dipo, President of the Salt Lake Board of REALTORS®. “Last year at this time the $8,000 federal tax credit created a surge in home sales. However, the most recent fourth quarter sales numbers are up 12 percent compared to home sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 - when the Great Recession was at its strongest point. This indicates the worst of Salt Lake’s housing downturn is over.”
Although single-family home prices in Salt Lake County were down 4 percent in the fourth quarter, there were a number of cities that saw house price gains. They included: Draper (84020) up 7 percent; West Jordan (84081) up 6 percent; Sandy (84092) up 12 percent; Herriman (84096) up 10 percent; Salt Lake City (84103) up 18 percent; Murray (84107) up 7 percent.

The demographics of Draper show that 38% of its residents are in the age group 25-44 and are highly educated. Bottom line, this city obviously appeals to the younger generations and the upwardly mobile professional. This tends to signify a buoyant job market. Unemployment in the Salt Lake Valley is well below the national US average and, thanks to a generally low cost of living, the area attracts operations centres of billion dollar corporations such as eBay’s main customer service centre, giving the future a bright outlook. This makes Draper a great place to find homes for sale with a view to raising a family. As well as low crime rates, this area also has an excellent record in education with many school districts achieving 98% graduation from high school compared to the US average of 80% and also a high number moving into higher education with renowned University of Utah on the doorstep.
Draper is not all about school and work. A host of recreational opportunities are within a few miles drive or even just a short hike away. Eight world class ski and winter sport resorts are all within an hour’s drive and the trail systems are amongst the best and most extensive in Utah. With one of the most gorgeous locations along the front of the Wasatch Mountains, you’ve got a healthy quality of life with sophisticated city living. Draper real estate just might be one of the best places to invest in property.
Whether you are looking for a typical suburban subdivision, a quality townhouse or luxury real estate in a mountain setting with spectacular views, Draper has a real diversity in housing. The city promotes community living and wherever you chose to look for houses for sale, you’ll have access to 70 restaurants, 30 parks, a golf course and be able to be involved in Draper Days which include Healthy Draper, Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Haunt, September Concert, and Christmas in the Heart of Draper.
