wolf mountain: Update - Ogden Valley Single Family Home Prices
- 11/27/10 06:02 AM
Below is an update to my periodic posts on the Ogden Valley single family home market. In a previous blog post from mid-2009, I called the bottom of the Ogden Valley real estate market, when home sales averaged $93/FT2 for the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2009. The data below provide monthly single family home sales data from our local MLS system for 2000 through 11/26/2010. During the five year 2000-2004 period, sales volume doubled between 2000 (50) and 2004 (100), as Utah and the Ogden Valley were discovered by out of state buyers, helped by the 2002 Olympics.

Homes in areas outside of the Ogden Valley proper (homes and cabins in recreational / seasonal communities in eastern Weber County such as Evergreen, Causey Estates, Sunridge and Monte Cristo) have been excluded to avoid skewing the data, since these are considered a different market.

wolf mountain: Standard Examiner Article - Utah Data Shows Homes Retaining Value
- 03/14/08 01:20 PM
Home builders expect tighter margins By JESSE FRUHWIRTH Standard-Examiner Davis Bureau jfruhwirth@standard.net Housing data show Utah homes are retaining and even building on their value, so home owners might think they are the rare Americans who will emerge unscathed from the national housing crisis. Utah home builders, however, have been wounded by shrapnel expelled by the bursting national bubble, and their misfortune is just now beginning to bleed onto existing homes. Layoffs, price reductions and handsome extras that attract choosy buyers are ways large-volume Utah home builders are dealing with a lack of credit available to buyers. Smaller builders are simply (0 comments)

Utah poised for rebound That is the prediction of area economists By JEFF DEMOSS Standard-Examiner staff jdemoss@standard.net SALT LAKE CITY - While the current economic picture looks bleak, fears about recession may actually help Utah and the United States avoid that fate, two leading local economists said Wednesday. A growing number of economic experts are saying the U.S. is either headed for a recession or is already in one, but the current situation is really more of a "fear-session," said Kelly Matthews, vice president and economist for Wells Fargo in Utah. Economic growth in Utah will slow noticeably this year, but (0 comments)

By MARSHALL THOMPSON Standard-Examiner staff mthompson@standard.net OGDEN - Weber County Commissioner Craig Dearden woke up at 3 a.m. one day last week, thinking about Powder Mountain resort's petition to incorporate as a town to pave the way for increased development. "I wondered if anyone has ever talked to the Powder Mountain owners about a way to do this without forming a town," he said. "So I got ahold of the owners, and they said they were willing to sit down and talk with us." After meeting with the resort developers on Monday, Dearden decided to move to table the incorporation petition (0 comments)

wolf mountain: Powder Mountain Township Decision - Get Involved!
- 02/16/08 03:13 AM
The future of Powder Mountain, and the entire Ogden Valley is at stake. Regardless how you may feel about the bill that passed the Utah House and Senate in late 2007 (allows easy incporporation of a township with no vote required by those who find themselves within the township boundary, circumventing the county planning and zoning approval process), I recommend you subscribe to "The Ogden Valley Utah Forum" by clicking on this link: http://ogden-valley.blogspot.com/, then provide your email address under "For Email Updates, Subscribe Below" box. In addition, if you feel strongly about allowing development to proceed at more reasonable density levels, I strongly recommend you sign the petition link on this same website.

wolf mountain: Standard Examiner Article - Powder Mountain Owners Say Feasibility Study Backs Town Concept
- 02/06/08 03:44 AM
By MARSHALL THOMPSON Standard-Examiner staff mthompson@standard.net OGDEN - Powder Mountain owners released the results of their privately commissioned feasibility study Friday showing the ski resort could become a viable municipality if the developers provided cash upfront. If Western America Holding, LLC, coughs up $750,000 for its proposed town government, there would be no need to levy an additional municipal property tax or telecommunication tax on the residents, the study said. "Assuming creation of a fund from prepayment of development fees, there is adequate funding to allow the newly incorporated town to operate through the end of Fiscal Year 2012," the report read.

Ski resort going to town? Powder Mountain developers find alternative for expansion By MARSHALL THOMPSON Standard-Examiner staff mthompson@standard.net OGDEN - Powder Mountain ski resort may soon become Powder Mountain Town - developers filed paperwork Friday with the Weber County clerk to incorporate as a municipality. The action could allow resort developers to move ahead with plans to expand into a massive four-season resort in the Ogden Valley without going through the county planning commission. Last month, after months of workshops and public hearings, the Ogden Valley Planning Commission voted in favor of the resort's rezoning proposal, but attached almost 20 conditions that limited the (3 comments)
