RE.

Never happened before.

You make good points as to why this may be different, but I also think that we are living in la-la land related to how messed up the economy is due to COVID.

We're printing money to get out of this...the consequences of that remain to be seen.

For those who think Utah is in this temporary housing bubble....

Those are all factors, but the biggest factor is insanely low rates. Once rates go back up, demand for housing will

“If”? Are you suggesting they will not?

Big Daddy D

I don't expect rates to increase because our federal government can't afford it!

At the tipping point there is no other option. We are not quite there obviously.

I know rates will rise. But certainly in times like these it's hard to see.

Great point. I don't know that it dramatically changes overall demand, but just

Agreed. This will be the result of increased rates. Demand stay strong. Bang for

$500k homes are no longer worth that if there is nobody to buy them. So it's still a function of supply and demand.

Pimpin4Paradise

Plenty of Californians willing to pay that still

This makes sense but historically rates go up because there is inflation which

It didn't slow when it was in the 4's. I doubt it will slow enough to mean

Why can't supply catch up? Won't more builders jump on the wagon?

Why haven't they to this point? What I've heard them say is they can't secure

Because people don't like high density housing next to their house.

The other issue is water rights. Some water basins are already fully allocated.

The cost of building has gone up a lot as well

Something inevitably happens. It will go down but maybe not very sharply in Utah

pink22

3/1/21 4:01pm

Truth. There is a long line of out of state buyers waiting to buy here and no inventory.

Salaries in Utah aren't high enough to justify the house prices and investors

A couple of things that people wont look at.

I suspect the recent mortgage demand drop is more refinance than purchase

DC12

Refinance data is separate. Those are down even more.

rad dawg

3/1/21 4:09pm

Interesting- not sure what to make if that because demand still seems so strong

One other factor is the number of Airbnb properties

fulano

sellers don't want to be buyers right now, so they're not listing their homes.

Buy high, sell low. This is the way.
