There are a bazillion companies out there looking to get your hard earned dollar to install their brand of solar products, some better than others. Solar energy collection isn’t […]
Third quarter real estate stats are out for Salt Lake County and frankly, they are a bit odd. The median sold price in the Q3 here was $600,000, which is down almost 6% over Q2 of this year. BUT if we look at stats from last year, we see a growth pattern in sales of […]
