Aubergine Kitchen is opening a new location in Spanish Fork that is currently under construction.  They specialize in whole foods that are unprocessed and unrefined.  The restaurant will be between Ross and Target and once I have an address and opening date, I’ll be sure to update you.

The intersection of 630 W 100 S was converted to a 4 way stop.  Please be cautious in the area as everyone adapts to this change.

The Spanish Fork Historic Preservation Commission has started a project to Honor Your Veteran.  Veterans will be displayed on one side of a two-sided banner along Main Street.  For more information, visit https://www.jotform.com/form/240634862462155

On the corner of Kirby Lane and Commerce Way near Beto’s, a new hotel is planned to be built.  I don’t have any more information but will keep you posted as things progress.

The real estate world has been on a perpetual roller coaster with mortgage interest rates going up more than down leaving buyers and sellers hesitant to make a move.  Many homeowners are being held “hostage” by their low interest rate and would like to move but are fearful of doubling their mortgage payment.  Sellers that need to sell in order to buy their next home need to have a plan on how to do that in this market.  They also need to understand that Utah’s housing inventory is at an all time high given the shortage we’ve had in previous years. Sellers must be willing to incentivize buyers to their home with pristine, uncluttered homes as well as monetary concessions to help buyers buy down their mortgage rates. I’m always available to strategize how to make your real estate goals work in this market!  Reach out to me and let’s get started!
