Orem sits between Provo and the Silicon Slopes tech corridor, and that location explains most of its housing market. It shares Utah County with Provo and gets folded into the same conversation, but the two cities behave differently: Orem leans toward a larger...
Tooele County sits just over the Oquirrh Mountains from the Salt Lake Valley, close enough to commute to downtown jobs but priced like a different market entirely. For a first-time buyer who has been outbid in Salt Lake or West Jordan, the county's mix of...
Accessory dwelling units, the basement apartments, converted lower levels, and backyard units that add a second home to a single-family lot, sit at the center of Utah's housing-supply debate. Since 2021, state law has limited how much cities can restrict one...
