A home at The Pines in Midvale on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2021. More households in Utah can’t afford to buy a home, according to a new report.Utah homebuyers are skewing younger, but more households in the state can’t afford to buy a home as monthly mortgage payments have risen more than 50%, according to data shared during an annual forecast by Ivory Homes.
In 2019, 49% of households couldn’t afford to buy a median-priced home in Utah.Monthly payments risingDejan Eskic with the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute told The Salt Lake Tribune that for a bit, home prices and monthly payments were trending downward together.

Thanks to MikeLeeforUtah's 'fuck the poor' campaign that won him reelection, you can expect the number of people who can't afford a home to rise. That is, until Ch_JesusChrist arrives (as if my magic and not coordinated at all) to offer affordable housing to SOME.
