While there are many traditions during this time of year, one of The Mark Thudium Team favorites is wrapping your gifts! Once again, our team will be wrapping gifts at the Gift Wrap Booth at Park City in support of the UDS (United Disabilities Services) Foundation.

The booth is located in the Sears wing. Please make an effort to support UDS by visiting us this year – we'd really love to see you!

In a competitive housing market, many buyers are finding the process of buying a home increasingly difficult. To avoid making the process even tougher, consider these tips first.

#1 - Don't delay
Dragging your feet means the buyer could actually pay more in a bidding war, or miss out on the property altogether.  Buyers need to be ready with a mortgage pre-approval letter and escrow deposit money from the day they begin the home search.

#2 - Always put your best foot forward
In a seller's market, buyers need to take steps to "look good" in the eyes of the seller.  In today's competitive environment, the listing agent is trying to determine which buyer will be the easiest to w...

Laura & Kevin Kaiser have worked with us to both buy and sell homes. Here is their story.  

Why did you choose to work with The Mark Thudium Team?

We met Mark through CV Little League. We were impressed with his dedication to the League. He always went the extra mile for the betterment of the League. We thought, if he puts that quality of commitment into a volunteer role, then he must be exceptional in his career as a Realtor. We knew if we ever needed a Realtor, we'd call him first.

What did you think of The Mark Thudium Team real estate process?

In 2001 Mark helped us to sell our in-laws home. The process was seamless and the house sold quickly. More recently, we worked with Mark to sell our home of 33 years. He walked us through his

When Is the Best Time to Sell My House?

A question that we get asked often is:  When is the best time to put our home on the market?  Most people believe spring and summer are the best time, but – depending on your goals – that might not be the best time for you.

It's true that the spring/summer months (April-July) are typically the busiest time for real estate sales.  However, it's important to recognize that, because more people put their homes up for sale during this time, there's more competition on both the buying and selling sides of the market.

Our past experience has shown us the benefits of putting a property up for sale over the winter.  Some industry data suggests that homes put up for sale in the winter actually sell more quickly than those put up for sale in the summer.

Why winter can be a great time for sellers:

• Those who list their homes between December and early March are more likely to find a captive audience of hopeful buyers.
• Sellers can sometimes benefit from the lack of competition during this time.
• Buyers looking during the winter months are generally more motivated.

Potentially beneficial for buyers as well:

• Many buyers have been frustrated with the very competitive market over the past few years. Potential benefits of buying during the winter could include less competition and less inflated pricing.

Our team can help you determine when to list your property and how to sell your home quickly and for top dollar.  There's no need to worry – we know how to sell homes every month of the year!
