Either buy a home in Tremonton or buy a townhome in Weber county.

This. My wife talked me into buying first home 2 years ago and I thank her daily

Same. I wish we'd bought in 2016 when we originally had been looking. But

No offense, but this advice is nonsense.

agreed. I don't know why people think history won't repeat itself.

Because it's being driven by different forces this time. See the explanations

Why would it? Utah is having a population explosion. Much of which is natural

Does that really matter if they're in the home long term? Interest rates are

Can you explain what you mean by the refinance point?

eysikal

Are you going to short the market then with your own money?

valleus

Lose a lot? Just don't sell until the prices rebound.

The big banks would tend to agree with you. They have all set aside Billions of

We did this. Turned a $170k house into a $275k house in 4 years.

I think these kind of opportunities in Utah are gone for now, but congrats

I think your wife will need to either change her expectations or accept reality. A fixer upper isn’t for everyone. But

Whatever you do, interest rates will likely never be lower in your lifetime

2007 we were in a similar situation. Paying a half million for a crappy house

I don't see the Utah market going down soon.

8/8/20 9:47pm

Who knows right? If it’s affordable, and you like it, go for it. FOMO bad reason

grosven

8/8/20 10:03pm

But then the rates will be higher. So the payment would be the same. Might as well by now at the lowest rates ever.

DINK it up as long as possible

TCuz

8/8/20 9:35pm

I would try and wait 4-7 years if I were you. Save more for down payment.

cougfanz

8/8/20 9:40pm

I doubt they'd save more than the market increases.

Lip Gallagher

Time to adjust expectations

RockyBalboa

8/8/20 9:51pm

It sounds like that should be an easy find up there.

Lip Gallagher

8/8/20 9:52pm

Buy. You will be happy you did. Payments are so Low due to rates. It’s never been more affordable based on rates.

Town home? I got a 2000 3 bedroom 4 bath for $239k

If your wife is going to quit to be a SAHM, then until that time, save every penny she earns toward a down payment

Yes! Practice now living as if you only have one paycheck and just save all your

Pay over 400k. You can afford it.

Heath Squashwell

Can you delay a family for a year or two? I’d live extremely frugally, save 100%

Since you're young, shoot for a starter home, not a forever home

We moved to St George (a bit cheaper housing) and luckily found a great place for under 400K. This was a year ago.

Unless you’ve recently paid off a lot of debt it seems like any decision needs to start by examining your budget.
