You've stood in the back corner of the yard where the shed is and run the numbers in your head. A small unit back there. A rental. An office that isn't the guest room with a desk shoved in it. A place for someone in your household who needs their own door. For...
For most of the last decade, the entry level of the Utah market has been the hardest slice to find. Builders kept building bigger, small older houses got bought and expanded, and the number in your head kept drifting further from the number on the listing. If...
Ask five people and you'll get five answers, ranging from "prices are about to fall off a cliff" to "nothing has changed, buy now." Neither is right. The August numbers are more interesting than that. Short answer: single family prices along the Wasatch Front are...
The listing photo has a pool, a mountain behind it, and a sky doing something absurd at 6pm. What it does not have is the July electric bill, the pool service invoice, the HOA dues, or the line on your registration renewal that made you check the math twice. None...
For a long time, Utah County was just the cheaper option south of Salt Lake. That stopped being useful around the time Lehi grew a skyline. If you are relocating for a job along Silicon Slopes, you are not shopping one market. You are shopping six or seven of them,...

Everyone has an opinion about this one, and most of them are inherited. "Renting is throwing money away." "Buying right now is insane." "You should have bought in 2019." None of these are analysis. They are moods with confidence. The real answer is boring and...
If the plan is to use the house from October through April and close the door behind you the rest of the year, you're not shopping for the same thing as someone moving in full time. You're shopping for a use pattern. Six months occupied, six months empty, and the...
Somebody asks us this every single day. Usually they want one word back: yes or no. We get it. It would be great if the answer were that clean. Short answer: nobody can answer that question about "the market," because the market stopped moving as one thing. The...
There is no such thing as a Phoenix property tax rate. That is the misconception worth clearing up before a relocating buyer builds a monthly budget around a number a listing agent quoted. Every parcel in Maricopa County sits inside a tax area code that stacks the...
