it wasn't as dramatic as a Las Vegas, Phoenix or California, but prices did come way down.

Wasatch Front housing prices: Is there any place along the Wasatch Front that is

Don't do it. Utah "is not the place"

Now: Good day, 4 hr commute to work, then sit 3-6 hrs before start work.

Mona and Genola are decent towns in south UT Co. and have reasonable lot prices.

If thinking Nephi look at Fairview/Mt Pleasant as well

Ok. Gotta look on a map to see where those are.

About 20 minutes east of Nephi, through the Canyon. They are very beautiful, but very rural, if you can handle rural.

And way cold

Really? Why so cold? It's further south.

Mt. Pleasant is 6000 ft.

crimedog

Yeah, I found them on Google maps last night. I'd forgotten where they were.

BleedCougarBlue2

Not any more rural than Nephi.

Have you heard about the inversions in Utah?

Lived there as a teenager. No big deal.

BleedCougarBlue2

So did I. It's way worse now.

Why? Geneva closed decades ago. More car pollution now?

BleedCougarBlue2

9/14/20 9:48pm

I’m just messing with you, actually the air quality has gotten cleaner almost every year since 1980.

GangstaLean

9/14/20 9:52pm

I’m not so sure it isn’t worse now than ten years ago

Nat Gas Man

Last I checked the AQI in Salt Lake County was almost 10 times better than it was in 1980 but you could be right that

GangstaLean

Agree nuclear should be explored.

What you saw last week was smoke from the California and Oregon fires, not smog.

There are now better states to retire in lower taxes housing etc.

Nat Gas Man

Idaho?

Nope. Full.

And too freaking cold.

Texas, but buy cheap property

Nat Gas Man

9/14/20 8:36pm

yeah. You need farm property out there.

Sad but true, but taxes are a huge consideration

Nat Gas Man

Won't retire for 10 more yrs. Family all over SLC valley.

Grantsville prices are going up. Painfully so

California 🙂 but you then have to burn in.....Fresno?

Cr#p. Can you give me any rough estimates for percentages?

This is by Divine Design. The Lord needs people in places other than the Wasatch

Church members are flocking back to UT? Aren't Californians still invading?

It is very interesting. Utah has plenty of space that isn’t full. Maybe Logan,

valleus

9/14/20 9:16pm

Logan/Cache Valley is beautiful but I'd be shocked if it isn't $$$$ now, too.

BleedCougarBlue2

9/14/20 9:21pm

Just checked Logan on Redfin. Plenty of nice stuff 280 and up.

valleus

9/14/20 9:38pm

Wow! That is very encouraging. I will definitely look! Thx!

Having space isn’t the same as desirable space

Nat Gas Man

True. I often fly over the western US; a whoooole lot of nothing down there.

The ride up in prices isn't going to last forever

I hope so, but UT didn't seem to be too affected by the housing bubble bursting

Not in my neighborhood: slow appreciation but no drops

TomPetty

Ok. Which town do you live in?

BleedCougarBlue2

This chart shows a dramatic drop from 2007 (peak) to 2011 (low point)

donnerstag

Hey, that good to know! Thx so much for sharing. Surprised the drop took

BleedCougarBlue2

9/14/20 10:02pm

Neighborhood where most houses were 400K to 500K in 2007 to 2010

TomPetty

9/14/20 10:03pm

Thx. No offense but I hope UT gets a housing bubble burst that lasts 7 days! 🙂

BleedCougarBlue2

Ok, good to know. Tons of family in SL valley and no one mentioned this.

Here's an overall Utah chart from 2007 to 2011
