Ogden Valley General Plan - Visioning Workshops

Weber County has contracted with consultants to conduct workshops to review development potential for the Ogden Valley. They will be held November 6th at Snowcrest Jr. High in Eden, from 4:00 until 8:00 pm, and November 7th at Weber County Library in Huntsville, from 2:00 until 6:00 pm.The meetings will be an open house-style workshop. Both will have the same information. Come to one or both – your choice. There will be four stations of various topics and ideas that people will rotate through. We anticipate each station will take somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the interest of the person. You will have ample opportunity to ask questions and leave comments.

 
All Valley residents and property owners are encouraged to attend. Visit www.valleyplan.com for additional information.

Ogden Valley Winter Sports Foundation's Annual Ski Swap

The Ogden Valley Winter Sports Foundation's annual ski swap is once again being held at the Davis County Legacy Events Center located at 151 S 1100 W, in Farmington. If you need skis, poles, boots, snowboards, jackets, pants, socks, or anything in between you'll find it at the swap. The ski team racers will even wax your skis or board while you wait, for a nominal fee. You can also sell your gently used gear at the swap. Visit their website to find out how: www.snowbasinskiswap.com

This is such a great event because not only will you find a fantastic bargain, but proceeds benefit  this wonderful non-profit organization that gets kids involved in winter sports. Kids as young as 6 years old can learn to race or become big mountain skiers.

The Snowbasin Ski Swap (Thus named because Snowbasin is their "home" mountain.) takes place on October 31, November 1 & 2, 2014. Visit their website for details: www.snowbasinskiswap.com

Check out these photos from the 2013 swap.....



Help support the Ogden Valley Winter Sports Foundation including the Ogden Valley Ski Team. Head to the swap and get some great gear! Don't forget to take your Christmas list!!!

Ogden Valley Condos and Townhomes Sales Graphs

The following graph depicts sales of condos and townhomes in the Ogden Valley from 2011 thru the end of 2013. It includes the median sold price, total number of homes listed, and number of homes sold during this time frame, and is broken down by quarter.




























Looking at the 4th quarter of 2013 you’ll notice that all three indicators are rising, with the median sold price showing the most significant increase. Although the number of homes listed is on the rise, it’s only a slight increase when compared to the sold price and the number of homes sold, meaning prices are likely to be on the rise. If you’ve considered selling your condo or townhome, this is an excellent time to put it on the market.

Many Ogden Valley condos and townhomes are purchased by vacationers who come to the area for skiing. With all three ski resorts open and in full swing, I’m here to tell you that the tourists are in town. Snowbasin ski resort recently reported a record day of ticket sales, and the road coming down from Powder Mountain has a steady traffic flow at the end of the day. One of the biggest ski weekends of the season is Presidents Day, January 20th, and with yesterday’s storm total, 10” at Powder Mountain, 4” at Snowbasin, and a promise from the weather forecasters of mostly blue skies and not too cold temps, it’s shaping up to be a fabulous holiday weekend on the slopes.

If you’ve been thinking of purchasing an Ogden Valley condo, get in now before prices and interest rates go up.
