Our Passion: Giving Back Through
Summit Sotheby’s International Realty Cares

When we talk about how Summit Sotheby’s International Realty and our sales associates differ from the competition, we typically talk about market share, significant sales, and global brand power. The truth is, our commitment to excellence in real estate is only matched by our commitment to our community. Last past month our agents and clients teed off to support local non-profit organizations at the awe-inspiring course at Victory Ranch. We are proud to share with you, our neighbors, our community, and our friends, that since its inception Summit Summit Sotheby’s Cares has raised $690,000 and counting for local charities and non-profits.

Please enjoy images and video from this year’s Summit Sotheby’s Cares Golf Tournament, held at Victory Ranch.

We’d like to thank everyone who participated with us this summer at one of our summer events. From Deer Valley to the Tour of Utah, we really enjoyed one heck of a Utah summer. Here’s a recap from each of our Summer events. Stay tuned to our blog for information on upcoming fall and winter events.

Summit Sotheby’s International Realty Update for August 2018

It can be easy to assume that all real estate brokerages and sales associates are the same. The truth is, we’re passionate about being different – our unique qualities are at the heart of everything we do. For us, our responsibility goes way beyond assisting our clients in the purchasing and selling of real estate. We’re ambassadors of our community and of our industry. We look at each moment as an opportunity to bring irreplaceable value to our clients around the world, and in the process, redefine the real estate industry. Luxury isn’t tangible. It isn’t a price tag. Luxury is an experience and a commitment to going beyond the status quo. Being different isn’t for everyone, but to us, it is everything.

Spend the Summer with Summit Sotheby’s International Realty 

4th of July Recap

We had a fantastic time at our annual 4th of July party, hosted at our historic 625 Main Street office in Park City. Clients, friends, and family, all decked out in their patriotic attire, packed our offices and enjoyed breakfast and refreshments as the parade made its way down Main Street.

With summer in full swing, we look forward to seeing you at our next Summit Sotheby’s International Realty event.

2018 Tour of Utah

The 2018 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah will take place August 6-12. Host venues for 2018 include St. George, Cedar City, Payson City, Antelope Island State Park, Layton City, Salt Lake City, Canyons Village, Snowbird Resort and Park City.

“This year’s Tour of Utah has some exciting challenges for competitors, which will make it an incredible seven-day battle for fans to watch,” said John Kimball, managing director of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. “It all starts with the stunning beauty along Red Hills Parkway for the Prologue route in St. George. In the next six days, the course averages 7,200 feet of climbing each day to test our international field of riders. This is truly America’s toughest stage race.”

The seven-day, 536-mile route for this summer’s Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah will include nearly 44,000 feet of elevation gain and the brutal Empire Pass climb.

Private Three-Acre Mountain Estate – 425 S Woodland Hills Dr, Woodland Hills

Settled on the mountain among the natural scrub oak, this three-acre estate is the perfect balance of privacy and open views. The current owners bought the land and thoughtfully designed and contracted the home to be built around the view of the mountains looking upwards from the living room and back deck, to the breathtaking valley and lake views from the master suite and library.

Stage 3: August 9: Antelope Island to Layton City

Stage 3 is the longest day of the race at 104 miles and starts on Antelope Island, home to hundreds of American bison. After a windswept 7 miles on the Causeway onto the mainland, the race will serpentine through Davis County to the new finish in Layton.

Stage 4, August 10: Salt Lake City

The Tour of Utah returns to Downtown Salt Lake City with a slightly new course. The start/finish line has moved from the Capital to Main Street with an amazing backdrop of the Salt Lake City skyline. The riders will tackle 10 laps of the 6.8-mile downtown course. This year marks the 11th year Utah’s capital has hosted a stage in the Tour of Utah.

Stately Traditional Two Story in Federal Heights – 1263 E 4th Ave, Salt Lake City
Upon pulling up to this property, one would have to look twice to realize this is 1994 construction in a neighborhood of older homes. A real benefit given the 10′ ceiling heights, modern layout, up-to-date electrical, plumbing, HVAC, en-suite baths, closet/storage galore AND a four car garage! This home has recently been updated to suit today’s discerning buyer.

Stage 5, August 11: Canyons Village to Snowbird Resort

Stages 5 will push each rider to the brink. The Aug. 11 fifth stage has three major climbs — Jordanelle Reservoir, Guardsman Pass, and Little Cottonwood Canyon. The peloton will climb 9,975 feet on the queen stage that starts in Canyons Village and ends after 94.8 miles at Snowbird Resort.

Wasatch Springs Townhomes present a unique opportunity in the Park City marketplace. Offering brand new construction, gorgeous on-trend finishes, two-car attached garages and just minutes to Park City this simply doesn’t exist anywhere else for the price. Don’t miss out.

Stage 6, August 12: Park City

The final Stage in Park City will travel 76.7 miles through the towns of Summit County. The riders are welcomed into the ranch with a nasty short Category 3 climb that has segments of sustained 15% grades. After a tough segment through Midway, it’s a race to the bottom of Pine Canyon Road, better known as Empire Pass.

Summit Sotheby’s International Realty Update for July 2018

Announcing our 2018 Summer Edition of Collections

It can be easy to assume that all real estate brokerages and sales associates are the same.
This edition of our Collections Magazine addresses that notion head-on. As you flip through
these pages, you’ll find a visual representation of how Summit Sotheby’s International Realty
is truly different. These differentiating qualities – items we call our “Passion Points”– are on
display in each and every page.

A highlight of not only our Passion Points, but of this publication, is our team. Designing, developing, and distributing a magazine of this magnitude is no easy feat. Every sales associate and member of our in-house staff, in departments ranging from marketing, photography,
transaction management, legal and operations, contributed in bringing this edition to life. This same team works together, as a single unit, day-in and day-out to provide a luxury real
estate experience to each of our clients, regardless of price point or location of their property.

This definition of luxury as an experience, not a price point, has inspired Summit Sotheby’s
International Realty to redefine the real estate industry – pushing us to constantly innovate and
differentiate. We’re all about raising the bar, dictating the curve and doing things in a way that
may be imitated by others, but never duplicated. We’re humbled by the growing number of
families not only in Utah, but beyond, who recognize these differentiating qualities and trust us to advise them with their real estate needs. To each of them, we say thank you.

While we hope you enjoy the pages of our 19th edition of Collections Magazine, we hope that
you’ll stop by one of our offices across the state, join us for one of our company events, or simply connect with one of our talented sales associates. We’re passionate about sharing how we’re different and how we represent Utah’s most distinctive properties like no other.

Summit Sotheby’s International Realty Update for June 2018

Our Passion: A Proven Track Record

In 2017, the Sotheby’s International Realty network achieved the highest annual sales volume performance in the history of the brand. It totaled an astounding $108 billion globally and over $96 billion in the US—topping the brand’s high recorded in 2016!

At Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, we too had a record breaking year. From market share, to days on market, annual sales volume, to total number of transactions, we made waves and worked to redefine the industry in the process.

How did we do it? Through our commitment to being different, and dictating the curve instead of following one. We treat real estate as a privilege, and we’re passionate about getting the job done—and done right.

Mortgage Insurance Going Down:

MGIC announced that it is reducing its borrower-paid mortgage insurance premium rates. The reduction will bring mortgage insurance premium rates on the most popular premium plans down by an average 11%. The effective date for the new rates is June 4, 2018.

An example of how this will affect homebuyers: A borrower with a 638 mid FICO score purchasing a primary single family home for $465,000 with 5% down…

Before June 4th, 2018:

  • Initial MI Rate: 1.61%
  • Monthly MI Payment: $592

After June 4th, 2018:

  • Initial MI Rate: 1.37%
  • Monthly MI Payment: $504

That is an $88/month savings!!

Credit Scores Going Up:

As of April 16th, all 3 of the main credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax & TransUnion) have removed all tax liens from consumer credit reports. Those who had tax liens that were previously dragging their credit down could see improvements of up to 30 points on their credit reports.

11% of the population will see an increase in their credit score, as a result of this action.

Improved credit scores mean better interest rates and loan program options for customers, which gives homebuyers more buying power!

Equine Excellence | Living the Equestrian Lifestyle

Buying an equestrian property is unlike any other real estate purchase, and owning it is unlike any other way of life. There is an emotional component, sometimes even an aspirational one.

While love for the animal drives the lifestyle, it takes more than passion. Maintaining a horse farm, even a small property for hobbyists, requires specific knowledge.

The characteristics that make for a particularly good location are based on personal preferences but typically involve an area having a range of horse properties to choose among, an extensive trail system, comfortable riding weather and a vibrant horse culture.

Intercap Lending Mortgage Update – RATES ARE STILL GREAT!

As 2018 started, mortgage rates had held below 4% for 26 straight weeks. The past couple of weeks have seen this stretch come to an end with the average 30-year rate nationwide being in the mid 4% range. This increase in rate is due to China making statements that they are less interested in U.S. Treasuries, along with our own government rebalancing their balance sheets to have less exposure in the bond market. These items combined with the tax and healthcare reform have made for a fairly volatile market.

The good news is that analyst consensus seems to be that the economy is growing, and coupled with lower corporate taxes, many feel that the economy will strengthen even further. Fortunately, rates are still near half their historical average. Rates are still great! There is still time to lock in current rates before they rocket higher.
