Million dollar house in Utah? So a 1500 sq foot home from the 50s split level?

Lol you think real estate is expensive in Utah

MaximusMeridius

Sep 12, 3:37pm

Lol, there are maybe 3 or 4 states that are more expensive than Utah. All of them with higher median incomes and most of

Average home in UT with basements are much larger than most states. Cost per

So for some reason you want to exclude livable square footage??

MaximusMeridius

Sep 12, 5:22pm

Basements add lots of lower cost sq footage so it does not cost as much to have

Ycrazy

Sep 12, 6:30pm

Right you just explained why Utah is cheaper, which is my point

MaximusMeridius

Sep 12, 11:02pm

Cheaper per foot. A more accurate comparison is ave cost of home vs income.

Sep 12, 11:10pm

Agreed that would be an insightful stat too. I'd be interested to see a list

Yes it is

It doesn't tell much about affordability at current incomes

Neither does home sale price

Home prices in Utah are not an issue since we're all wealthy. Median income

It's gone up, but I don't think it's Top 10-12 for price.

Feel free to fire me as research assistant. Don't want the job anyway.

Aside from New Mexico &Wyoming (who would want to live there) UT is the cheapest

And there's the flex. I am happy for you that we have such a wide selection of

Sep 12, 4:31pm

I mean, there's 17 other states to live in that are cheaper than Utah

MaximusMeridius

Sep 12, 5:28pm

I see your “Utah has nice large backyards” argument and raise you, most states with higher housing costs have beaches…

Zach Morris

Sep 12, 4:32pm

Yep. His only criteria is price per square foot. That is meaningless. Doesn't

Jdoc

Sep 12, 4:43pm

You're using the wrong metric

MaximusMeridius

Sep 12, 5:24pm

Some states don't include all sq/ft in size of home. Utah does so it deflates price per sq/ft bc it's so much cheaper.

Soupie

Sep 12, 11:17pm

That can't be right...every state measures sq footage of a home

MaximusMeridius

Sep 13, 9:21am

Huh? Some states actually have laws forbidding counting basements as part of the square footage. Utah doesn't.

Byron McNertney

Sep 13, 9:53am

Ohhh I didn't catch that Soupie was talking about basements specifically...
