Salt Lake City, UT

Draper, UT

The level of AWESOMENESS of this listing is unreal...not only are you in the heart of coveted Draper, but you're located near world class hiking, skiing, camping, the nation's largest paragliding park, the aquarium, Real Salt Lake, and the hot Silicon Slopes!

Currently hosting a cosmetologist, you come into this property with a cash flow of $950/mo. - which I will note, it is pretty low for this area. 

Now, whether you renew their month-to-month lease, or you house your own small business...this 3 bed, 4 bath, 2-story townhome, is a phenomenal investment in an area of Greater Salt Lake City that is not only growing, but also being added to tech's Silicon Slopes with the soon-to-be The Point in Draper.

Utah State

Impromptu video of one of Salt Lake City's most expensive, and sought after, neighborhoods.

The neighborhoods just north, and northeast of downtown Salt Lake City, gain interest from just about everyone that drives/walks through its narrow streets.

CHARACTER is the word we're going with today. Having said that, you will have to pay a larger than normal price tag for having a home with character....but that VIEW, come one!

Location is a standout for me. You have direct access to the downtown area, which needless to say, has some spectacular dining options, high end shopping, entertainment options in the likes of: Utah Jazz, Broadway shows, the opera, the zoo, University of Utah football, and don't forget, minutes from aesthetically pleasing hikes surrounding you whichever way you face.  

Welcome to SLC's 'Hollywood' Hills | Salt Lake City, UT | @theactorsellinghomes | David Contreras

South Jordan, UT

Welcome to Drap......er, South Jordan...literally on the diving line between these two highly-desired cities in the valley.

Happy Halloween by the way...from sunny Utah :)

Alair Homes is one of those extremely talented builders, that have amazed many in the past with some stunning builds in the past...including in some of the most recent Parade of Homes shows.

These .4 to .5+ lots are perfect for one of these amazing floor plans, which are mostly stunning ranch/rambler styles.

Anyway, be one of the first ones to save your spot in growing South Jordan/Draper.

New Luxury Homes | Haven Hills Estates | Alair Homes | South Jordan, UT | @theactorsellinghomes

Picture perfect front porch. 

Enjoy all 4 seasons, but especially prepare yourself for unforgettable summer days/nights. 

Whether it's taking in that morning sun, going for a run, paddle boarding, decorating for trick or treaters, the activities with this beautiful backdrop are endless.

Going once, going twice....

10873 S Lake Island Dr | Part 2 | Waterfront | Daybreak | South Jordan, UT | @theactorsellinghomes

Right off the top....this home is a perfect 10, 5 Stars, Gold Medal, a WINNER!

This 4,700+ sqft home is not only located inside the nation's HOTTEST community in the likes of South Jordan's Daybreak, no, it's also a lake front property overseeing beautiful Oquirrh Lake, with a backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains.

To say that this home has curb appeal...it's an understatement. The 2-Story Farmhouse Modern build is an attention-getter from every angle you see it from. As a backload floor plan, the facade of the home faces east, aka, the lake. You have direct access to the island's trail system, as well as the rest of Daybreak.

There are specific locations inside of Daybreak that are even bigger magnets to many homebuyers, The Watercourse, and this here, The Island. 

During the last few years, several builders, many of which I have spotlighted on this channel...have built stunning estates. This one in particular has made my top 5 homes in ALL of Daybreak.

Sandy, UT

Another beauty coming out of Kaden Court in Sandy, UT. 

LS Homes adds to this prime location with this 4,474 sqft modern home, with 4 beds, 3 baths, and potentially a killer mother-in-law apartment.

The beautiful wood flooring greets you as you enter into the foyer, directly adjacent to the office with a view. 

A definite stand out is the high cathedral ceilings in the living room w/ perfect accent wall. However, as you drift to the dining and kitchen areas, I feel that something goes missing.

As mentioned, the awkward space between the dining and kitchen is somewhat odd. 

Another standout comes out of the multiple car garage. Two, Three, Four cars plus RV, tractor trailer, or better yet, a sweet home gym plus a rock climbing wall....the possibilities are endless.

The seller is motivated, and is offering a 30K incentive to entice the right buyer. Keep in mind that the home has received a 15K price adjustment already, so add location to the equation, and you have a great home.

When you hear about new construction in areas like Sandy, UT, you flock to it. Sandy is one of those highly desired areas on the east bench of Salt Lake county. 

Boasting awesome views of the Salt Lake valley, this area also has direct access to the beautiful and majestic Wasatch mountains. Needless to say, a short drive takes you into several canyons, and several ski resorts for you skiers and/or snowboarders. 

If skiing/snowboarding is not your thing, then enjoy the mountains/canyons in the spring, summer, or better yet...the fall. Thousands of residents enjoy the beautiful fall colors; the perfect backdrop for family portraits, bridals, engagements, etc.....for photoshoots, reach out to my wife, and professional photographer (featured in Cosmo).

Back to the property.....

A modern build boasting plenty of room (a little under 5,000 sqft) with large bedrooms, spacious living space, and gorgeous upgrades with exceptional attention to detail. 

New Construction | Hot Listing | LS Homes | Sandy, UT | @theactorsellinghomes | David Contreras

Finally! From the moment I glanced across the street (a couple of months ago), I've been wanting to come back to this neighborhood, and walk through these townhomes.

As mentioned, the End Row unit is already under contract, BUT still accepting back up offers....please reach out to me if you don't know what or how back up offers work.

However, this video walk through is of the Mid Row unit, currently on the market for a little over the 1.3 MM range.

And may I say...wow? There are so many standouts for me of this property, that I would take too long to list. Foremost, the curb appeal is exquisite - the exposed brick with steel (industrial look) has been one of my favorites in recent years. Altus Development did a wonderful job here with not only the facade, but also of the inside.

The custom flooring, decision to use natural stone countertops, the style and amount of windows, thus letting in vast amounts of natural light, is true perfection.

Lehi, UT

This video walkthrough of The Clover will go down in history, as the walkthrough that almost ended it all for yours truly...but as always, I don't cut out these close calls...it all makes it on the video.

Anyway, The Clover by D.R. Horton in beautiful Cold Spring Ranch...this community has it all. Having been a resident for the last couple of weeks, I can attest that it's a great community to live in. 

I already tried out the pool, clubhouse, and pickleball courts, and they're great.

Because of the great location, you are literally minutes away from the Silicon Slopes, the Outlets at Traverse, movie theaters in both directions, Costco, and dining of all kinds, both fast and fine.

This floor plan is being offered on the east side of the community, and as I mentioned, all their homes are already spec'd out, so you get what you see...all around the vicinity of 530K.

This particular model contains everything that will come in yours if you decide to go with this floor plan.

Millcreek, UT

There are those areas that just make you smile...this is one of them. 

Millcreek, but especially the Sugar House area...is one of those areas that has been on fire for most homebuyers - mainly hipsters that fall under the Millennial demographic.

A stroll through this area will quickly liven you up, whether it's a run around historic Sugar House park, its many restaurants, boutiques, and many more Ma & Pa shops, and up to big retail stores.

The truth is that Millcreek doesn't get much new construction...they do however boast large amounts of remodel projects, most of them beautiful and exciting works of art.

When a developer releases new construction, it's a matter of who gets to it first, that determines who the blessed winner, and new resident is.

This property is currently on the market, and this one - plus the 4 bedroom option (this includes the other mid-row options), will be gone before Halloween.

If it's urban? If it's close to major universities? If it's modern? Done!

Welcome to Sugar House | Luxury Townhome | Millcreek, UT | @theactorsellinghomes | David Contreras

Following Part I, the living space on the main floor is absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail is simply perfection. 

For me, it's the exposed beams, with the various large windows - including French doors, allowing an astounding amount of natural light, and offering awesome views of the Watercourse, Watermark, Cascade Village, and better yet...the Wasatch Front.

However, my main standout, or at least, one of the top 3 was definitely the 5-Star office. Every inch of this home office is amazing in my opinion, from the color palette: the light brown French doors, to the navy blue built in book shelves, to the gold accent lighting fixtures....just wow. Don't forget that just as the rest of the home, the home office boasts grand views as well.

After a long workday from home, enjoy access to the outside, whether to enjoy a sit down, roast some marshmallows, go for a walk/stroll, or head down to your finished basement, and take advantage of your ManCave.

The Concord | Part 2 | Watermark | Parkwood Homes | Daybreak | So Jordan, UT | @theactorsellinghomes

Parkwood Homes makes a much anticipated appearance with their brand new model home in the Watermark community - adjacent to Daybreak's Cascade Village and the Watercourse.

The Concord floor plan is definitely a stunner, from the curb appeal, to the location, to the east coast architectural touches, to the nautical vibes spanning all 4,700+sqft.  

I initially fell in love with this builder two years ago; they have mostly focused on building their gems on Oquirrh Lake's island...as I mentioned on the video, I will have to re-upload a couple of throwbacks to those beauties.

Coming in at just a little north of a million as a base price, and definitely breaking the 2 million price tag with all the bells and whistles...this waterside manor has so much room to make your own. Starting with the 130K option loft with gorgeous views of the Wasatch Front, Oquirrh Mountains, or the Watercourse...you're sure to enjoy this feature.

Holladay, UT

Nestled right in the middle of beautiful Holladay, Utah, is Holladay's jewel...Holladay Village, or for some, Holladay City Center.

As advertised on video, expect condos in the mid 500s, and up to single family estates in the several millions...Holladay has it all.

Reach out to me so we can begin the fun part ;)

Welcome to Holladay | City Center | Holladay, UT | @theactorsellinghomes | David Contreras

This is a fun one folks...and it happens to be in the hottest community within Daybreak, which also falls under the hottest community for real estate in the nation.

Priced at 1.1 Million, this brand new 2-story home boasts amazing views of the Wasatch Front, and the Watercourse. Speaking of watercourse, you are literally in it. 

A two minute walk to Look Out Park, whether to let kids or your pets play...they'll love it. One thing for sure is, you will love going out for walks/strolls year round, yeah even if it's chilly ;)

As you witnessed, this property sits just under 3,000sqft, and offers a full Mother-in-Law suite with its own separate entrance. The finishes and upgrades are awesome, the color palettes used throughout the house are perfect, and what do you think of that master bedroom? Don't you love the windows?

Cascade Village is the 'Top of the Line' inside of Daybreak, and the amenities are the best for its residents.

Behold...my absolute FAVORITE home in the 2023 Salt Lake Parade of Homes!

Designed by the TV show "Extreme Makeover - Home Edition" and built by Holmes Homes, this property sits pretty on a corner lot with amazing privacy...and that is GOLD in Daybreak.

This coveted neighborhood of Eastlake Village, is literally a stone throw away from Oquirrh Lake...i.e. a 2-minute walk.  

The only property in Daybreak with a rentable Casita! Inspired by the history of the mining business in the Salt Lake Valley, the design team incorporated copper in the decor and utilized refined organic elements throughout the house. This was definitely one of my major standouts...the use of copper was perfection.

I believe that this house was perfectly designed for just about any age group to fully enjoy. Whether it's the indoor soccer field downstairs w/ concessions (that's me), the spa like retreat as you walk into your master bath, and better yet, the relaxing haven just outside of your bathroom.

The Copper House | Holmes Homes | Parade of Homes | Daybreak | So Jordan, UT | @theactorsellinghomes

Coming in at just a little under 6,500 sqft, Elevation Homes presents The Marianna Manor, and Manor is definitely spot on to describe this perfect home. Now I don't use the word 'Perfect' loosely...but this build, which is not for sale btw - is the definition of the word.

Every inch of this house is just right. The builder executed the construction to perfection. There is no dead space, or awkward space, inside and out.

The curb appeal is stunning, I mean nowadays, it's all about the Modern Farmhouse facades. In my opinion, this home is one of my favorites of the parade this year.

I don't think I can add to what I already shared on the video.

In conclusion, if your budget is north of one million, Elevation Homes will treat you right...you just need a solid realtor...wink wink...to represent you in the process.

Cottonwood Heights, UT

Well...this one was definitely an interesting one, maybe the most interesting in regards to first impression. 

Not quite to my taste, but definitely one to be considered, especially when house hunting for an Airbnb or rental. 

A short drive takes you to multiple ski resorts, and I'm not referring only to the colder months. Utah is the best state for the outdoors year round, and The Billie sits pretty in one of Salt Lake County's most desired areas - Cottonwood Heights - right on the east bench with views of the mountainside and valley views.

SIMPLICITY is the keyword here folks.

Currently up for sale at a little over a million, the question to ask is if you think it's worth the price tag?

As for the main standout imo....Location. Location. Location.

Riverton, UT

I have always been an admirer of the Toll Brothers product, and after walking through this model home, it continues. 

The Rockport Modern Farmhouse has a base price of just a little over the 1 Million mark. Since this home had all the bells and whistles, you can assume that the price of what you see is closer to the 1.8-1.9 Million.

What about that office!? Oh man, definitely one of my main standouts. It would make working from home pure joy.

This build was beautifully done. The combination of the wood flooring with the shiplap, the exposed beams, the open concept throughout the main living space, and the gorgeous kitchen....this property is a 10/10.

In addition, I can't complain about anything in this floor plan. I may be biased, but this is a perfect home.

In conclusion, Sycamore Glen located off of Redwood Road in Riverton, still has some options to build, so take advantage of it, and reach out to me.

Rockport Modern Farmhouse | Toll Brothers | Parade of Homes | Riverton, UT | @theactorsellinghomes

$1,550,000 gets you this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, office, high ceiling entry, in one of the BEST locations you can think of....a 3-min walk to Holladay Village, that means delicious eateries, shopping, Harmons, and the best peaches that you can have...trust me, amazing peaches.

Hadley Pines is modern design meets luxury in the heart of the coveted Holladay area of the valley. The townhome floor plan sits at 4,463sqft, although this listing has an unfinished basement. 

The amount of natural light is abundant, and one of the biggest decisions you will have to make is, decide which of the two primary bedrooms will be yours. As you saw, both are considered primary rooms, although the upstairs option has the free standing soaking tub, and a much larger euro shower...I myself, would choose the upstairs one ;)

So whether the selling point is the open concept, custom kitchen, the primary  rooms, the high ceilings, or the location...you are bound to have a beautifully finished property.

Hadley Pines | Sequoia Development | Parade of Homes | Holladay, UT | @theactorsellinghomes

The house (of 26) in the Salt Lake Parade of Homes with THE BEST views...hands down.

Coming in at $2,200,000, this fully custom build by City Point Homes, is a hidden gem...literally, hahaha...as you saw on the video, it's literally behind another house, therefore not visible from the main road.

The Top Hat has such a COOL factor...I loved everything from the facade, the entrance, the flooring, the dark privacy glass French doors in the office, every single of the 6 bedrooms, the 4 full baths (although I was not a fan of the skinny mirrors), the 360 degree views in every direction from the rooftop deck...WOW.

I'm getting carried away and listing everything...in essence, the whole 4,200+ sqft build was beautifully done, and to be honest, the only other thing that I would change in addition to the skinny mirrors would be, the removal of all carpeting ;)
