Ogden is the home to one of the largest inventories of historic quality houses in the western United States. It was a railroad boom town up through the 1950's. This boom, along with the economics of the depression, had an effect on many of the larger homes built at the turn of the century. Due to the demand for housing, many of the larger homes in the community were divided into multi-unit dwellings.
While convenient at the that moment, altering the fundamental design of these properties had a negative effect on the neighborhoods that hosted them. Also, since the structures were not originally intended for this purpose, the significant maintenance and upkeep required became a drag on owners and thus handicap the normal improvements you would typically see invested in properties over time.
Fortunately, Ogden is reversing this trend one house at a time. One of my listings was formerly a "triplex" and is now for sale as a single family home. However, when the home was remodeled prior to going on the market, the "units" were not eliminated. Market feedback told us that this was a major impediment. So, we took some measures to correct the problem.
Here is before and after video of the remodel work completed while eliminating the units:
These changes should make the home much more marketable. If are thinking of selling your home and you need help figuring out how to prepare your property to sell, CONTACT ME, and lets make your home market-ready.
