2156 E. Whitekirk Way | Tidy Townhome
$235,000 | 2,002 sq. ft. | 3 beds | 3.5 baths
March is well known for all sortsa’ madness but we’ll be having none of that here -this tidy townhome is all about eliminating it. Keep your pom poms in the car when you roll up and realize that this is a highly desirable end unit.
That means a 2-car garage, extra windows on your non-shared wall for more natural light, and a little more legroom in the yard for little mister, misses, and your four-legged friend. See if you can keep from cheering.
The inside will test your temperance when the starting lineup is announced: Granite counters, laminate floors, stainless appliances, fireplace, plantation shutters, half bath and a Trex deck to literally scream from the mountaintops, if you wish.
Oh, that was just the main floor. Upstairs has two bedrooms, laundry (washer & dryer included), a master bedroom (3 total rooms) complete with a walk (or dance) in closet and a master bath that will make you want to do the wave.
Downstairs is light and bright with a walkout basement. The room is set up for, well, whatever you want it to be; you pick. Bonus, there’s another full bathroom downstairs.
The Stoneleigh Heights market odds show that this tidy townhome won’t last ’til the final four. Reach us today to get in on the action!
1956 E. Brookings Drive | Fluid Floor Plan
$350,000 | 3,632 sq. ft. | 4 beds | 2.5 baths
Is it just us, or do you also think an Adirondack chair fits perfectly on that front porch?
If you can make it past the urge to sit and sip a beverage, step inside to find a fluid floor plan that just, well, makes sense. The generous flex room on the front of the house is perfect for the telecommuter, bookworm, or your great great grandparents’ antique furniture-you know, that “too heavy to move” piano?
Nine-foot ceilings (yep…9) on the main are a terrific match for the wide open family room and kitchen. Oh, and that kitchen? Double ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, granite ‘tops, and a perfectly placed prep space that makes serving buffet style easy-peasy.
The upstairs has 4 large bedrooms, a master suite (and grand master bath) with peek-a-boo views of Utah Lake and a bonus loft that is a great space for [insert: family room, play area, or hobby room]. Neutral paint tones on the walls present a clean slate that are ready for your own splash of color.
Downstairs, the unfinished basement is awaiting your crafty customization. A wet bar, perhaps? Game room? More rooms for a growing family? You pick. That stamped concrete out back would look nice with Jack or Jill’s chalk drawing or that smoker you’ve been waiting to fire up. Dinner at 6?

For those who like to be just a hop, skip, and jump from the action, you’re in luck. At the heart of SunCrest (think: green space, clubhouse, exercise room, pool & hot tubs, and The Ridge Market and Cafe) this home is situated beautifully.
And while you’re just a beat away from the hubbub, you’re tucked quietly away in a nifty little neighborhood dotted with custom homes and punctuated with otherworldly views overlooking Salt Lake County.
If by chance you find yourself needing a break from the sunrises or sunsets from the home’s many windows, the plantation shutters help provide a little alone time in this former model home.
The main floor, complete with airy vaults and open spaces, provides ample room for socialites who love to entertain or families that love to get together.
Check that covered Trex deck, it’s the sellers favorite spot to unwind.

The home features a wide-open living and dining room that can handle your cousin’s cousins for get-togethers, or your rowdy Wednesday night bunco crew.
The master sits on the corner of the home providing a quiet retreat from all the other main floor attractions, but it’s close enough to young ones’ bedrooms or an in home office to really offer everything you need right there.
Our favorite piece to this charmer is the gigantic (no seriously, it’s huge!) downstairs family room. Two other bedrooms and a full bath add to this home’s mantra: it’s move-in ready.

February SunCrest Market Update
Say hello! Newsletter | Facebook | Instagram
Last month, we mentioned 2015 was best overall year for homeowners since 2007 thanks to steady demand, attractive interest rates, and a healthy Utah job market. This month, we forecast into 2016…
Interest rates will rise
Sure, this may not be a bold predication, but one that we anticipate will impact most looking to buy or sell in SunCrest. From news outlets, leading economists, to real estate blogs, the consensus is that rates are forecasted to be above 4.5% by years end. What does REALLY mean? Check out the infographic to see its impact on a home priced at $250,000.
Rental rates will continue to increase as buyers save for their down payment
Low rental vacancies, lack of new construction rentals, and difficulty to save sufficient down payment to purchase a home will continue to drive SunCrest rents upwards. The good news for those looking to buy in SunCrest? Utahns are able to save quicker. In a recent report, Utah was cited as one the best states for buyers to save enough for a down payment—1.46 years for a 3% down payment program.
Stoneleigh Heights will stay hot
The Stoneleigh Heights townhomes have been performing exceptionally well. Since July of ’15, townhomes are going under contract within 3.5 weeks (2015 Avg= 55 Days) and appreciating by 3.9% year over year as compared to 3.6% appreciation in all of Draper. At a current median price of $212,500, these spacious and affordable townhomes are perfect for millennials, boomers and everyone in between!
Our take:
Despite the forecasted climb to interest rates, 2016 looks to be another year of growth and action in SunCrest. Whether buying, selling, or renting; this year is the time for action if you’re looking to make a change. Plus, with new SunCrest developments on the horizon, we’ll be looking back on this year as a key moment in SunCrest’s story.

January SunCrest Market Update

January SunCrest Market Update
2015 marked the best overall year for SunCrest homeowners since 2007 thanks to steady demand, attractive interest rates, and a healthy Utah job market. As we start our 16th year assisting families with their SunCrest real estate needs, let’s look back at 2015:
Q1 2015
If you recall, last winter was pretty dry (yes, we mean moisture). The lack of flurries in the air could have helped contribute to the fact that sellers got more money per square foot for their homes in this quarter, than at any time all year long. Buyers paid an average of $109.71 per square foot during that three-month period.
Q2 2015
Bump. Set. Spike! We see it every year. As the snow melts and families start planning for spring and summer, we see a spike in SunCrest homes coming to the market.
Interesting fact! Did you know that 72% of all SunCrest homes listed in 2015 actually sold? This is up from 63% in 2014.
Q3 2015
SunCrest sellers and buyers were feeling like the market was hot, hot, hot! Homes spent an average of 39 days on the market during this quarter, as opposed to the overall 2015 average of 94 days.
Q4 2015
SunCrest buyers and sellers didn’t leave as much room for negotiation in the 4th quarter of 2015. On average, homes sold for 98.65% of asking price — over 1% higher than the yearly average.
Our take: We are often asked, “When is the best time to buy or sell in SunCrest?” Our answer is always the same—when you’re ready. Everyone’s timing, housing need, work situation, and/or family decision is different. We believe in arming you with the information you need to make the best decision available. Facts are just facts; but being able to research, understand, analyze, and interpret the facts will help you make an intelligent and informed decision.
