TNT is so grateful he moved away from there

Not as grateful as a lot of us.

It's pretty wild watching it unfold from afar.

Isn't the avg household income like $80k in Utah?

Cougar TD

Apr 24, 9:52am

There are probably many young people living in apartments

Belboz

Apr 24, 9:55am

I should clarify. Housing is too expensive, but incomes of young people increase

Belboz

Apr 24, 9:57am

Even higher income requirements for tithe payers.

Zach Morris

Apr 24, 9:56am

Earning a bunch of money and spending it on rent doesn't qualify as "increase"

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 24, 10:06am

So your net calculation includes subtraction of housing costs?

YIsForBrigham

Apr 24, 10:17am

I know several people who take that position.

Apr 24, 10:36am

I wouldn't if I were paying rent. I don't pay tithing on money we pay to nannies

Do you pay tithing on the portion of health insurance your employer pays? How

Ozymandias

Apr 24, 11:29am

I know a person who subtracts medical expenses from income.

dratax

Maybe people who make less than that should get a smaller home then?

ochobeeguy

Apr 24, 9:56am

It's Utah. The smallest home is 4000 sq ft

TNT

Apr 24, 9:58am

That's a lot of cardboard...

enigomo

Apr 24, 10:01am

And the corrugated is even more. Ugh. What a mess

You haven't been to Herriman…

My 1050 Sq ft home in Kaysville sold for 435K on .25acres

That's insane.

I'd have killed for a .25 acre starter home 10 years ago

RE: I'd have killed for a .25 acre starter home 10 years ago

Belboz

Apr 24, 10:10am

The problem being the amount of available homes that cost less than the median

vagabonder

Apr 24, 10:06am

Knowledge on this issue isn't an area of strength for you, we can conclude

Mitty

Apr 24, 10:40am

You seem like someone who's greatest financial accomplishment...

Shore10

Whats the median home price for Northern Utah?

It’s ok though everyone should just have more kids anyway

Bar7h

The 28% figure is a little antiquated

CougarGregor

Apr 24, 9:58am

Will be higher going forward

TNT

Apr 24, 9:58am

If that is the case, we are screwed.

2FarGone

Board name checks out

CougarScrub

Apr 25, 8:41am

With rising costs of everything that figure is probably more relevant than ever

SLC-Durham

Apr 24, 10:08am

And are house poor

Himni

Apr 24, 10:39am

With FHA/VA financing options, typical down payments can be much less than 20%.

LifeLongLakerFan

Apr 24, 9:59am

I was able to get a conventional with only 5% down

BlueKoolaid13

It's okay for dual income households. It's terrible for everyone else.

Seems pretty expensive everywhere except the Midwest. I don't like it but it isn't just Utah. If you want to live

Bar7h

Apr 24, 10:03am

The Southeast is also cheap and it's much nicer than the Midwest.

dYrtbYkerYder

Apr 24, 10:07am

El Paso area looks great. Homes are like half of Utah's prices.

BlueFever

Apr 24, 10:12am

And they all have bars on their windows

WorfoSAUR

Apr 24, 10:19am

There have to be decent areas that still have good prices for homes.

BlueFever

Apr 24, 10:34am

People who say this are not doing their due diligence.

rad dawg

Apr 24, 12:46pm

While it isn’t just Utah, it is a disproportionate problem with Utah when considering several factors like median income

Zach Morris

Apr 24, 10:11am

You summarized that well

TNT

Apr 24, 10:22am

I agree that it's worse in Utah. I've been trying to talk my wife into moving to MT, ID, or WY for years. I browse

Bar7h

Apr 24, 10:37am

I agree with you but think about how crazy that sounds.

rad dawg

Apr 24, 10:15am

Utah is getting worse than anywhere in terms of speed of price hikes, leading

Mitty

Apr 24, 10:43am

And rent for your average 2-3 bedroom place is around 2k

Elrond Hubbard

The younger generations will need to move to Iowa or Alabama.

2FarGone

Apr 24, 10:09am

Sure if you can maintain a high income there.

rad dawg

Apr 24, 10:21am

Commerce will increase in those areas as population shifts happen

kotacoug

Apr 24, 10:32am

Then prices go up.

rad dawg

Alabama is awesome.

dYrtbYkerYder

North Alabama is a great place for young LDS families

Just heard of a 1200SF home on Coronado Island (San Diego) renting for $8k/month

Mitty

Apr 24, 10:44am

The home we bought in NC: $275K, little over 2K Sq ft, and on 1.15 arces lot
