🏡 Bountiful Market Update – with Todd Porter,
SURE Synergy United Real Estate Group

The Bountiful market is buzzing with activity, and the numbers tell an interesting story this week:

✨ 5 homes SOLD/CLOSED with an average price of $575,500.

✨ 13 homes went UNDER CONTRACT — averaging $637,038 after adjusting prices down about 4.8% from their original listings. That little price shift made the difference in getting them under contract.

📈 Pricing continues to inch up week over week, and it’ll be interesting to see where these homes finally close.

Snapshot of What’s Happening Right Now

• 47 homes UNDER CONTRACT → Average price: $614,217 | Avg. days on market: 47.6

• 111 homes ACTIVE → Average price: $707,928 | Avg. days on market: 69.1

That means ACTIVE listings are sitting on the market 25% longer than those under contract, and there’s about a 13% price gap between what’s moving and what’s waiting.

💡 The Bottom Line: If you want your home to sell quickly, pricing it right from the start makes all the difference.

💬 Real Estate Q & A

Question: “As a college student, what should I do now to eventually buy a house?”
- asked anonymously

Todd’s Answer: If you’re a college student thinking about eventually buying a house, first off, smart move. Most people your age aren’t even asking that question. Here’s the truth: buying a home isn’t about luck, it’s about preparation.

Start by building your credit right now. Keep a credit card, pay it off every month so that you are not hit with the interest, don’t over-spend. Lenders look at credit history before they look at almost anything else. Second, save, even if it’s a small amount every month. A consistent habit matters more than the number. Third, start paying attention to the market in the area where you think you want to live. Real estate is hyper-local, prices in Davis County are different than Salt Lake, and totally different than Weber. Learn your market before you jump in.

And here’s the mindset piece: don’t waste years renting if you don’t have to. Homeownership builds wealth. Period. The sooner you get into the game, the sooner you’re building equity instead of paying someone else’s mortgage. In for forefront of your mind, always look forward to home ownership with complete clarity and expectation for it to happen.

So, focus on credit, savings, and education. Do that now, and when you graduate, you’ll be lightyears ahead of your peers. And when you’re ready to take that step, you won’t just be buying a house, you’ll be buying freedom and long-term security.

 🔆 Stage Your Home with Light!
Why Bright Homes Sell Faster

Nothing transforms a home like great lighting. Open curtains to flood rooms with natural light, switch to bright, daylight bulbs, and place mirrors across from windows to amplify the glow. Bright, airy spaces not only feel larger and more cheerful, but they also photograph beautifully and make buyers want to linger.

⭐️ Up Closets of Salt Lake City North

If you’ve ever dreamed of having your closet, pantry, or garage perfectly organized (and staying that way!), you’ll love meeting Up Closets of Salt Lake City North. This family-run business specializes in creating custom storage solutions that make everyday life smoother, tidier, and a whole lot less stressful.

A Family Business with Heart

Up Closets may be new to Utah, but the family behind it brings decades of experience. Owner Rori has spent years designing and selling storage solutions ranging from elegant closets to custom wine cellars. Her son Devon, Director of Operations, adds his background in design, fabrication, and construction, while her daughter contributes from Florida, keeping the business running smoothly behind the scenes. Together, they’ve turned their passion for quality and function into a local business dedicated to helping neighbors love their spaces.

What Sets Them Apart

The team at Up Closets prides themselves on more than just building beautiful storage—they care deeply about the experience their clients have. As Devon puts it, “We can’t bear to leave a job unfinished or a customer unhappy.” Unlike big corporate companies that cut corners, this family believes in doing things the right way: with craftsmanship, integrity, and attention to detail. Their goal? To be the best contractors you’ve ever welcomed into your home.

Creativity Meets Customization

From clever tilt-out shoe storage to one-of-a-kind jewelry displays, Up Closets is always innovating. With a CNC plasma cutting table in-house, Devon prototypes unique accessories that make every project truly personal. Whether it’s maximizing your pantry, taming the garage, or designing a dream closet, their solutions are made to fit your lifestyle—not the other way around.
