Utah’s Starter Home Push Could Reshape HousingNew Yorkers understand one thing very well: space is limited, and smart design matters. Utah is starting to think the same way.State lawmakers are reviewing House Bill 184, a proposal that could change how starter homes are built. The idea is simple. Allow smaller lots—down to 5,400 square feet—and speed up approvals. If a city does not respond within 30 days, the request moves forward.This is not about luxury homes. It’s about first-time buyers. It’s about access.Utah faces a real housing gap. By 2030, the state is expected to need nearly 250,000 new homes. Current plans fall far short. Starter homes are the biggest shortfall.Lawmakers know scarcity drives prices. When supply falls behind demand, costs rise fast. That’s a lesson New Yorkers... 01/26/2026

The nearest airport to Provo is the new Provo airport, but at the time of this writing, it’s not an international airport, and it’s tiny! The Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) was the nearest international airport to Provo, Utah before Provo Airport announced they will be catering to international flights. I was surprised at how busy the SLCIA has become. It has grown in just the last 7 years. I feel like it has doubled in size. I have been flying to Salt Lake City each year for the past 7 years until I moved to Provo. I am used to seeing all the return missionaries being greeted as they return home from their missions. Still, these crowds are more than just return missionaries. Over 26 million people fly in and out of the Salt Lake City International Airport. This airport rank... 04/18/2024

Recent developments regarding real estate brokerage fees harm one party in the real estate transaction far more than the other... The buyer.While those applauding the proposed settlement terms talk about how much of a win this is for consumers, if nothing else changes, the proposed agreement is about as anti-consumer as it can get.Under the imperfect compensation model of the past, buyers were able to have their representation costs included in their purchase transaction. Arguments aside, this is the main reason this model has stood for so long. If no other changes are made in the industry, the proposed settlement terms all but eliminate the low income and first time buyers' ability to operate on a level playing field.Mortgage guidelines, laws and regulations essentially make it near im... 03/18/2024

Close your eyes and imagine your dream home and the accompanying dream yard. What do you see? If you’re like the overwhelming majority of Americans, the vision includes a lush, soft, emerald green carpet of bluegrass.

So what, you say? Consider this: according to the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, urban areas use between 25 and 37 percent of their water supply for landscape and garden watering.

 The last two years have been the strangest on record for the housing industry here in Utah. An unprecedented housing boom increased throughout the 1990s and continued into the new millennium, thanks to relaxed credit standards, sinking interest rates, low unemployment and an insufficient housing supply. But signs now point to the impending end of the boom. According to The Wall Street Journal with information from the economic consulting firm Economy.com. Home prices have risen nationally three times faster than incomes since the turn of the century, which has made home ownership an impossibility for more Americans than ever before. This is a significant shift from the congruent price and income figures throughout the 1990s boom. These factors have contributed to the difficulty for fir... 04/21/2021
