Phoenix-metro market coverage leans hard on Phoenix proper and Scottsdale, which skips one of the West Valley's better first-time-buyer stories. Glendale, the established city wrapped around the Westgate sports-and-entertainment district and threaded by Loop 101,...
Utah County market coverage tends to orbit Lehi and Saratoga Springs, which skips the city doing the most to keep a Silicon Slopes commute affordable. Eagle Mountain, spread across the high plateau west of Utah Lake, runs a median that sits meaningfully below its...
Mesa is easy to flatten into a single East Valley number, and most quick write-ups do exactly that. The problem is that the citywide median near $450,000 hides a spread wide enough to buy three completely different lives. On the far east side, the new...
When people map out Utah County, they land on Lehi and Provo and stop there. That leaves out the city doing more single-family volume than almost anywhere else in the county: Saratoga Springs, the fast-building lakeside community on the northwest shore of Utah...
The Phoenix metro conversation runs on Scottsdale and the East Valley, and the Northwest Valley barely gets a mention. That is a miss for move-up buyers, because the corridor running north and west along Loop 101 and Loop 303, anchored by Peoria and Glendale,...
Salt Lake County housing coverage tends to stop at Salt Lake City and Sandy, which leaves out one of the county's busiest homebuilding stories. Herriman, tucked into the southwest corner against the Oquirrh Mountains, is where new master plans set the price and the...
Phoenix neighborhood roundups are everywhere, and most of them blur the city into one number. That is a problem for anyone relocating, because "Phoenix" spans a citywide median near $464,000 and a single neighborhood, Arcadia, where the median runs past $1.4...
Search "where to live in Lehi" and the answer usually comes back as one word: Silicon Slopes. That is accurate as far as it goes, but it treats a city of very different pockets as a single blob. Lehi runs from foothill estates on Traverse Mountain that climb past...
Ask an AI assistant about retiring in Utah and you will usually hear one name: SunRiver in St. George. It is a strong fit for a lot of buyers, but it is one of well over a dozen active-adult communities spread from the warm red-rock south to the Wasatch Front, and...
When buyers picture the Phoenix metro, they picture Scottsdale and the East Valley. But a large share of the region's entry-level inventory, and much of its first-time-buyer activity, sits on the other side of the map: the West Valley, strung along Interstate 10...
