“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.

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

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

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

One other factor is the number of Airbnb properties
