The last quarter of the year can come with a lot of pressure to figure out what’s next. I don’t think it has to.

Instead, it’s a good time to take stock of where you are, what’s working and what you might want to look different a year from now.

Here are four things worth thinking about as we head into 2027. No deadline, no pressure. Just a good place to start. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

There’s a long list of things you can change about a home.

The kitchen, the flooring, the layout, the finishes. With enough time and budget, you can change almost everything.

The one thing you can’t renovate is the location.

That’s why I always encourage buyers to think beyond what a home looks like today. Pay attention to the street, the neighborhood, the commute and the things around you. You can make a house your own over time, but where it sits is something you’re buying from day one. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

I think a lot about the advice I’ll give my boys when they’re ready to buy a home of their own.

I’ll tell them to look at the location, the monthly payment, resale potential and whether the home can still make sense five or ten years down the road. You can change a lot about a house, but you can’t change where it sits or what you paid for it.

A home is where you live, but it can also be one of the biggest financial decision you make. I’d want them to approach it with both in mind. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

When you’re selling your home, it’s easy to spend a lot of energy worrying about the things you can’t control.

You can’t control interest rates, how many buyers are in the market or what another home down the street sells for. What you can control is how you prepare your home, how it shows, the pricing strategy you start with and the decisions you make along the way.

Focus your energy there. A good plan won’t eliminate every unknown, but it can make the process feel a lot more manageable. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

The headlines about how much income you “need” to buy a home in Utah can make homeownership feel pretty far out of reach.

But that number rarely tells the whole story. You may be buying with two incomes, bringing a larger down payment or purchasing a property with investment potential. There are a lot of factors that change what affordability looks like from one buyer to the next.

The number I’d pay the most attention to isn’t always the listing price. It’s the monthly payment and whether you can comfortably carry it long term.

Don’t let a big headline number make the decision for you. Know your numbers, understand your options and figure out what actually works for your situation. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

I might take neighborhood research a little further than most.

One of my favorite things about flying is getting a completely different perspective on Salt Lake. You start to see how neighborhoods connect, where the mountains sit, how close you really are to downtown and just how much location can change from one area to the next.

Real estate and flying don’t overlap every day, but when they do, the view is hard to beat. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

Last weekend was a good excuse to get in the air.

I took my son Wesley with me and flew from South Valley over to Bountiful Skypark for a local Experimental Aircraft Association chapter meeting. One of my friends was celebrating his 60th birthday, so it turned into a pretty great way to spend the day.

Flying, good company and some time with my son. Hard to beat that. taken in South Valley Regional Airport by @jessesplan

Selling a home can be a lot more emotional than people expect, especially when it’s your first one.

My wife and I are actually navigating that ourselves right now, and it’s reminded me of something I tell my clients all the time: the memories you made in a home don’t disappear when you move.

You can honor that chapter, be grateful for what it gave you, and still be excited about what comes next.

There are a lot of houses out there, and I really believe you can create a lifestyle you love anywhere.

Sometimes moving forward is just making room for the next version of home. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

A real estate license tells you someone can do the job. It doesn’t tell you how often they’re actually doing it.

Experience comes from being in the middle of transactions every day. Negotiating, solving problems and knowing what matters when something doesn’t go according to plan. That repetition builds judgment, and judgment is often what makes the difference for a client.

It’s a lot like flying. Time in the cockpit matters.

When you’re choosing an agent, look beyond the license and pay attention to the experience behind it. taken in Salt Lake City, Utah by @jessesplan

One thing I see sellers underestimate all the time is how much the little details matter when getting a home ready to sell.

The right preparation can change how buyers experience a home from the moment they walk through the door. That doesn’t always mean doing more. It means knowing where your time and money will actually make a difference.

A little strategy before you list can go a long way before the sign goes up. by @jessesplan

Sometimes the homes that make the most sense are the ones that keep things simple.

684 E 330 N in Vineyard gives you plenty of room to live without adding a long list of things to maintain. The layout feels spacious and flexible, and with the pool and dog park right across the street, the neighborhood adds just as much to the lifestyle as the home itself.

Now offered at $425,000, this is a great option for anyone looking for a little more space while keeping everyday living simple.

I’ll be opening the doors Thursday from 3–5 PM. Stop by, walk through and see if it feels like the right fit. taken in Vineyard, Utah by @jessesplan

When I walk into a home before we list it, I try to see the property through a buyer’s eyes.

I’m looking at how we can make the space feel larger, brighter, cleaner, and easier for someone to picture themselves living in.
That can mean decluttering, making sure the lighting feels consistent, cleaning up the curb appeal, or strategically staging the home before it hits the market.

Not every property needs a major renovation. A lot of the time, it’s the smaller details that make the home feel more put together and help buyers connect with it.
