    6:20 I do long distance trucking and get home to slc and Utah county every other week. Can confirm that Utah traffic is rather good, the frustrations are the selfish drivers who keep left. There’s a lot of “me me me” driving and not much of “slowing down and moving over a little for the sake of keeping traffic flowing”

    For affordable housing STOP AIRBNB VRBO and temp things like that. This will be a great help for locals. We need more high density housing -but if you are a guy that makes 5k a month you BARELY MAKE IT each day. If you want nice restaurants to go out to-we need to allow for people to be waiters and cooks and others to live at a decent life style. Not everyone is built to run a business.

    I just retired as a 48 state/Canada truck driver and chose SLC UT. to live my golden years. Of everywhere I've been this place is the all-around best it checks all the boxes. I recommend this place however the air is bad but I'm willing to overlook this as the air quality is slowly getting better. I'm a foody and yum. I build rock crawlers to go wheeling as a hobby and this is the best place for me in this respect. SALT LAKE CITY is the best staging area to head outdoors. Housing shortage is disappearing, and cost is going down some. Apartments overbuilt so good inexpensive rentals is available. Of all my travels I say crime is very low and city is clean.

I see, meet, get to know, befriend and serve these people as clients and I'm witnessing first hand who's choosing to move here... and it's mostly people who align with the over arching values that Utah stands for.

    The homes are being built on farmland. The problem is that the residential use is higher that the agricultural use and the people that profit from the real-estate industry get greedy about the water so they can make more money.

    • @scottdsteele
      @scottdsteele  2 месяца назад

      When the highest and best use for a parcel of land becomes overwhelmingly tilted towards building then the farmers choose to sell. Nobody forces them to do so, and when the value of that land far exceeds what it can yield in crops, livestock or otherwise, they sell

    Californian here who went to BYU and visited recently for an academic conference. A couple things from my perspective. It's true that Utah, like many places, needs more housing, but when I visited, I got the impression that they were working hard to build it, much more so than CA. And many different types of housing rather than SFH in different places in Utah county my aunt (lives in Highland) talked about/showed me while I was there. I also have always loved using the Frontrunner to get to Provo while I was there, and its connection to Trax is also good. There's good density in AF at least near the station, and I saw a lot of people using Frontrunner to get to SLC, despite there still being a lot of space in parking lots near the stations.
    So Utah might still have issues, but it does seem like they're really trying to implement the good solutions (density, good transit) more so than many other areas I've seen. Hopefully, as other places do better with building density, it can take some pressure off of Utah. It will still grow, however, which will eventually require locals to make adjustments like using transit over cars to avoid traffic. Building more roads can only do so much in heavily populated areas, especially as it generally runs counter to building housing and having good air quality.

      It's going to take time for the projects the state started to finish (and it's not like they had much time to prepare, this is a very recent extreme change of pace for Utah. And until then things are going to be painful.
      When the projects do finish, we will probably have even bigger mass immigration. So we will need even more infrastructure, making it a never ending cycle

    I noticed in your videos that you concentrate on commuting by car, but don't really mention the other methods, such as Trax or Front Runner. Here in Ogden's east bench, I can walk a block to the OGX stop, which is free for a few years, take it to the Transit Center, ride the Front Runner to the North Temple Station, and transfer to the Trax green line to the airport all for less than $3 (senior rate). That lets prospective residents know of these options.
    Also, lets give Ogden a little love in your videos. The area where I live is known as the Avenues of Ogden and is close to 3 trailheads. Downtown Ogden is really transforming and is actually considered one of the top 10 mountain towns by several outdoor and ski magazines.

    I can vouch for the points on housing prices.
    My brother inherited our family home. The house went up 3 to 4 times in value from when my parents built it in ‘94. So he decided to sell because it would seriously be silly not to.
    At 23 years old he was able to use the difference to buy land, and build a beautiful house even bigger than the family home.
    I am older than him, trying to sustain in renting a small apartment and I am barely making it because the cost of renting goes up yearly.

  • @dperrineucsb
    @dperrineucsb 2 месяца назад

    I have a lot of issues with this video with regards to real estate.. first, what were the fastest growing cities in the US before 10+ years ago? #1 was Las Vegas/Henderson, NV. There was record home building and record amounts of people moving there in the late 90s/early 2000s. In 2006, most real estate agents there were saying the same thing.. we need more homes, homes are not as affordable, record numbers of people are moving here and so the prices will never come down until we build more homes.. Then what happened? Las Vegas/Henderson lead the US housing market crash and home prices went down about 50% or so. Home builders learned their lesson and now Vegas is still seeing low inventory while inventory in Utah is just starting to spike, although it is still below the 10 year average. I can see the same thing happening in Utah over the next 1-2 years once the recession kicks in and we start seeing higher unemployment and a reduction in the stock market and corporate profits. I would guess real estate goes down in the valley by 35-60%.
    Second.. the idea that you have to "build more affordable housing" is ridiculous. The government shouldn't be in the job of telling builders what to build. Just let them build what people want to buy. Otherwise when the housing crash does come, you will have a glut of new housing nobody wants and it will exacerbate the problem. New homes are more expensive. People who can afford them will move into those homes, the older homes become the "affordable housing". Why are you trying to shoe-horn people who can barely afford a home into brand new housing? It makes zero sense..

    • @scottdsteele
      @scottdsteele  2 месяца назад

      What does not make sense is the idea that the simple economic principle of supply vs demand somehow does not apply to real estate. Why are home prices so high here now? Why is Utah now in the top 5 least affordable states to live? More demand and the supply has not kept up = sky rocketing home prices. And, prices aren't dropping despite much higher interest rates with the fed soon beginning to cut the federal funds rate as inflation has finally balanced out which will affect mortgage rates and the markets resulting in more demand again which will only increase prices. This is a simple principle that for some reason many just do not believe applies to real estate and if you're waiting for that 30% decline in home prices, do not hold your breath. Thanks for your opinion and for sharing.

    • @dperrineucsb
      @dperrineucsb 2 месяца назад +1

      @@scottdsteele I actually made that post before hearing in the video you are a real estate agent, so thank you for the thoughtful reply. Certainly, I'm a renter wanting to buy something at some point so my best interests would be to see prices come down first and as an agent you are wanting to see strong home demand. The last thing you want in the short term is to hear prices may be dropping substantially, an event which often causes home buyers to hold off until prices stabilize and some home sellers to panic sell into a market with rising inventory levels and few buyers. However I think from a longer term perspective our interests overlap. No doubt there are tons of home owners out there who want to upgrade their home size, move to a different area of town or maybe even downgrade to lower their expenses due to kids moving out but are stuck in the "golden handcuffs" of having a low rate mortgage. Or, are just renters who cannot afford a home at current prices. I see greater affordability and lower rates as good thing for your industry in the medium to longterm.
      As far as why are home prices so high, well, nothing makes sense when you're in an economic and/or real estate bubble. What is the median price of a home in the valley? What is the median household income? What household income is required to comfortably afford a median priced home? The answers these questions tell me that current prices are just not sustainable. There are certainly a lot of factors at play, and I could be wrong about the future real estate prices in nominal terms. However I am in St. George currently, the same thing is happening here with skyrocketing growth and high home prices. A relative of mine gets a real estate sheet of recently sold homes in their neighborhood from a local realtor, and while the reported median sale prices have remained the same, comparable homes sold recently are a good 15% or more lower than they were a year or two ago. A friend of mine up in the valley was seeing comparable sales for a home they just sold from a real estate agent from earlier in the year and theirs finally sold for 15-20% less. Yet reported median sale prices remain the same. This typically occurs when higher end homes are selling more than lower end homes due to relatively high activity from wealthier home buyers and investors. An overall market decline, including a stock market decline and recession with increasing unemployment could have a significant impact on these numbers.
      Another thing to consider about rates.. while most out there are expecting lower rates due to inflation leveling out, the Fed has not hit their target inflation goal of 2%. They say they are expecting to hit their target even as rates drop, but if that doesn't happen, if inflation actually gets worse as rates drop, we may see rising rates again. All I can say is the next 1-2 years will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

    • @scottdsteele
      @scottdsteele  2 месяца назад +1

      Prefect response and i are with you. That number that we so often use to describe the home values of the median priced home is absolutely tied to the data behind who is choosing to buy and sell within that snapshot of time.
      St. George specifically has a much weaker job market for higher earners which will certainly impact those properties and their final sales prices much more too.
      Thanks for sharing!!
