Home to five national parks, picturesque scenery, a culturally diverse landscape, and year-round recreational activities, it's no wonder the state of Utah is a popular destination to travel to and live in.
The 45th state is currently the 31st most populous in the nation with almost three million people residing here. In 2012, Utah ranked fourth in overall well-being in the nation, and this trend has continued. Utah is a culturally diverse state, and there is a large LDS Mormon community, and Utah is thought of as being a haven for the LGBT community and their supporters.
People move to Utah for the excellent education opportunities such as Brigman Young University and the University of Utah. Additionally, in a 2017 study, Utah was ranked as the ninth safest state in the nation, and this makes it an excellent place to move and raise your family. Utah's economy ranked as the highest in the nation for the best economic growth in 2013 and 2014.
There are two primary reasons people move out of Utah, and they were highlighted in a 2017 survey. Residents were concerned about the air quality due to the rapidly expanding population, and low wages.
Utah's real estate market is on fire, and this is driving home costs up at a rapid rate. Over the last five years, the median housing prices shot up from $190,000 to $280,000, and this is higher than before the housing market crashed. Before the housing market crash, Utah's median home price was right around $250,000.
Since the early 2000s, Utah's real estate market had steady increases each year until they peaked in 2007. Once the housing crisis hit, housing prices in Utah began to fall, bottoming out in 2012. They began to recover, and currently, Utah's supply in demand is driving their housing prices up past where they were at their peak in 2007-2008.
A large part of the skyrocketing real estate prices is an influx of Millennials moving to Utah and purchasing a property. A study showed that Utah as the second-highest level of home ownership by the Millennial generation in the nation, and in 2016 Utah was as one of the top places in the country where young people are moving to due to the excellent economic outlook. Homeownership rate across the state have remained above 68% every year since 1984.
From the period of 1990 to the start of 1999, Utah saw a steady increase in home ownership with a slight decline in late 1999 and early 2000. It recovered and kept steadily increasing until late 2004. The number of people purchasing homes at the end of 2004 to early 2005 saw the beginning of a steep increase in more and more people purchasing homes. This increase of people purchasing homes peaked at the end of 2007 and early 2008; then housing prices began to fall. Housing prices hit bottom in 2011, and it showed a steady increase until 2013 when housing prices began to skyrocket again. Currently, the real estate market is in high demand.
Utah's largest city, Salt Lake City saw a similar pattern both pre and post housing crash. In late 2007, Salt Lake City reached its peak levels for home ownership before the housing prices began to decline. There was a brief period in 2010 when the number of people purchasing homes increased, but that fell again until it hit bottom in 2011. Since 2011, there has been a steady increase until 2015 when the market began to increase rapidly. Currently, Salt Lake City has a very hot real estate market.
Despite this hot real estate market, the cost of living is also rising in Utah. When you combine this with the higher cost of real estate and the lower wages, it makes sense that residents are working harder to sustain themselves. With housing prices skyrocketing, this also makes rent costs rise as well as more people are forced to rent until they can buy. All of these factors contribute to the higher cost of living Utah is experiencing.

| Housing | 122 | 100 |

As of 2024 the conforming loan limit across the United States for single-family homes was set to $766,550, with a ceiling of 150% that amount in HERA high-cost areas where median home values are higher. The $766,550 ceiling for single unit homes applies across most of the state outside of the booming Salt Lake City metro area. Dual unit homes have a limit of $981,500, triple unit homes have a limit of $1,186,350 & quadruple unit homes have a limit of $1,474,400.
People buying properties in the the Summit Park & Salt Lake City metro areas have higher conforming mortgage thresholds.

Home buyers who are borrowing more than the above amounts will likely need to obtain a jumbo mortgage. Jumbo loans typically have a slightly higher rate of interest than conforming mortgages, though spreads vary based on credit market conditions.
Several different types of home loans are available in the Beehive State. Fixed-rate loans are very common, and the terms include thirty, twenty, fifteen, and ten years. The longer the life of the mortgage, the lower the monthly payment will be, which is why the 30-year loan is the most popular. The downside of this, however, is that the APR is higher compared to shorter-term loans. The difference can be as large as a full percentage point.
In addition to conventional 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, lenders offer a wide variety of adjustable rate mortgages (ARM’s). While these instruments have lost some of their attractiveness during the recession, there are still circumstances where they offer the only way for a borrower to qualify. Properly structured (that is, with strict limits on how much the rate can fluctuate), such loans are still a legitimate way for borrowers to purchase a home and start building equity while establishing their credit so as to qualify for conventional loans upon the ARM’s expiration. These loans provide interest rates that fluctuate, as the name implies. The APR is usually fixed for an initial term, such as three, five, seven or ten years. Then the rate adjusts depending on the performance of a referenced index rate, usually once per year; but it can change more frequently. The loan agreement may state in detail how frequently the APR can change, and it may also include a rate cap to prevent large changes.
Balloon mortgages are another route for aspiring homeowners. Balloon mortgages are when a large portion of the borrowed principle is repaid in a single payment at the end of the loan period. Balloon loans are not common for most residential buyers, but are more common for commercial loans and people with significant financial assets.
A few lenders in the Behive State offer interest-only loans, but usually only for periods of three years. These are mortgages where payments are applied only to interest for a period of time. The loan's principal isn't paid down, so the monthly payments are very low. The low monthly payments only lasts a few years, however. Typically, it's about three years. After this period, monthly payments spike because the loan's principal hasn't been reduced & the remainder of the loan must be paid off in a compressed period of time. For example, on a 3 year IO 30-year loan, the first 3 years are interest only payments, then the loan principal must be paid in full in the subsequent 27 years.
When qualifying for a loan, a credit score of 720 or better can help secure a favorable loan. Some mortgage lenders in strong markets like Salt Lake City have approved borrowers with credit scores around 640. The best rates and deals will be obtained with a score above 740. There is a lot of competition among lenders, and this environment can create nice perks for borrowers. For example, some banks will offer special deals on closing costs for borrowers who qualify. The cost might be added to the mortgage or the bank will pay the closing costs but add a few basis points to the APR.
A debt-to-income ratio of 40% and a down payment of 20% are what most banks want to see on a home loan application. They will accept worse numbers, but fees and APR's could go up as a result. Also, a down payment of less than 20% typically results in required mortgage insurance. This down payment requirement does not apply for Federal assistance programs such as FHA, in which applicants can have a lower credit score and income but still receive financing.
The piggyback loan is another type of mortgage which is simply two mortgages in one. The piggyback loan can eliminate the need for private mortgage insurance by covering 80% of the home's value with the first loan, while the second loan helps to pay for part of the down payment.
Prospective home buyers who don't find what they're looking for at one of the state's private banks may want to take a look at some of the mortgage options the federal government offers. One of them is the loan program at the Veterans Administration, which provides mortgages with zero down. On top of that great deal, VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance. The agency does, however, charge a funding fee, and this varies from 1.2% to 3.3%. Making a voluntary down payment will reduce this charge. And in case you're wondering, yes you do have to be a qualified veteran to get one of these unbeatable deals.
If you're not a vet, you may want to consider the Federal Housing Administration's home loan services. The FHA offers loans to people who have a credit score of at least 580 and who can put at least 3.5% down. The government agency also offers mortgages for lower credit scores, but it requires more money down with these loans.
USDA loans can help people with low incomes in rural parts of the state qualify for a subsidized low-interest loan.
With the skyrocketing costs of real estate, more people may be turning to government-funded real estate financing programs. These programs typically have looser credit standards, a higher acceptance rate, and you may not need much of a down payment, or any at all.
First-Time Homebuyers – Pioneer Grant
If you live in Utah and you're a first-time homebuyer, there is a program that will give you up to $10,000 to put down on your home. It goes by county, so you do have to check if your specific county has it. Additionally, this is grant money, so you won't have to worry about paying it back for as long as you occupy the property. We'll look at the Provo-specific one, so you get an idea of eligibility requirements, but almost every county in Utah has this program. The qualifications for this program include:
If you meet these requirements, it is generally very easy to apply for and obtain this money. However, it usually takes two to three weeks to receive the money after the closing process is complete.
Home Start Program
The Home Start Program is another grant program the state of Utah offers to people who want to purchase a home. All buyers are eligible for this grant, and it is on a first-come, first-serve basis. You'll receive up to $7,500 to put toward your down payment or closing costs if you meet the eligibility requirements, and you request the correct one as they go by county. The eligibility requirements are:
Chenoa Fund
The Chenoa Fund is a more specialized grant program that is designed for people who have a 30-year FHA home loan. You have two options for down payment assistance with this program. You can choose Forgivable Financing or Repayable Financing for your grant money, and eligibility restrictions apply for both.
Home Choice
If you have a disability, or if you have a family member who has a disability, the Home Choice program can help you purchase a home. Additionally, it gives first-time homebuyers financial counseling and assistance, and the mortgages typically have interest rates of 1% to 3%. You may get direct down payment funding or your closing costs paid with this program. You have to earn 80% or less of your area's median income and have proof of a disability in order to be considered eligible for this program.
Utah has a high to very earthquake risk. Here are county-by-county risk profiles.
Standard rental and homeowner insurance policies typically do not cover earthquake damage, though they usually cover losses caused by fires which resulted from an earthquake. You can supplement your homeowner's insurance with an earthquake policy.
Homeowner's insurance policies typically do not cover flooding. Most of the state of Utah is considered to have a very low flooding risk. The following counties have a moderate flooding risk: Summit & Washington.
Home buyers with mortgages in high-risk areas are required to buy flood insurance. Most flood insurance policies are sold by the United States federal government through The National Flood Insurance Program. Under-priced flood insurance in high-risk areas act as a subsidy to wealthy homeowners.
The NFIP does not charge nearly enough to cover the expected costs of its liabilities. The assessments are not sufficient to build any buffer to cover an extraordinary year, such as what occurred with Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Because homeowners don't incur the full cost of building in a flood zone we end up with more houses there than if homeowners incurred the full cost of the flood risk, which exacerbates the government's costs in the next disaster.
Homeowners who live in lower risk areas & are not required to purchase flood insurance heavily cross-subsidize homeowners who are in areas where floods are more common.
The risk of wildfires is considered moderate in the northwest part of the state. Fire damages from wildfires & other types of fires are typically covered in most homeowner's insurance policies. If you own expensive items you may want to keep an up-to-date household inventory list which lists specific valuables, such as fine art & jewelry.
Utah has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country. In 2016 the average rate across the state was 0.65% while the national average was 1.24%. The 0.65% rate on the median home value of $300,245 leads to an annual assessment of $1,948.
Utah Exemption Act
The Utah Exemption Act is also known as the Homestead Act, and it is designed to protect some of the home owner's equity in the event of a forced foreclosure or a bankruptcy. If your bankruptcy was due to something like unpaid medical bills or certain business debts, you could get $20,000 of protection for the head of household an $20,000 for a spouse. There are eligibility requirements you'll have to meet to get this protection.
Equitable Distribution
When it comes to Utah law, it is an equitable distribution state, and this means that any property will be divided fairly, but this doesn't necessarily mean equally. If both parties agree on who will get what portions of their property in a divorce, a judge will have to sign off on it. It depends on how long the marriage is, and parties ages and health, their income levels, and occupations. Long-term marriages are more likely to get a 50-50 split, and shorter marriages may be more unequally divided.
Home loan products are recognized in Utah as either mortgage contracts or Deeds of trust. However, most lenders tend to use deeds of trust to govern home loans in Utah.
The state of Utah is what is known as a non-recourse state when it comes to foreclosures. Most borrowers prefer this type of mortgage loan because the lender isn't allowed to sue them for additional funds if they default on their mortgage and the home sells for less than is still owed on the home. For example, if you purchase a car with a non-recourse loan and default, the lender is allowed to repossess and sell the car. The difference between a recourse and a non-recourse loan is whatever the lender sells the car for will satisfy your debt, no matter how much you owed when you defaulted. If you owed $7,000 on the car when you defaulted, and the lender sells the car for $4,000, they'd have to absorb the $3,000 loss with no additional cost to you.
Utah is primarily a title theory state, and this means that the property's title will remain in a trust until the property is paid in full. Additionally, Utah is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state. This means court action isn't required to foreclose on a property once the borrower defaults on the mortgage. The deed of trust typically has a power of sale clause that the borrower signs when they take out the mortgage, and it states the appointed trustee will sell the property to satisfy the mortgage in the event of a default. Only an attorney, bank, or title loan company officer can serve as the trustee and sell the property.
Power of Sale
Before foreclosure proceedings can begin, the lender has three months from the default date to file a Notice of Default with the corresponding county office. This notice of default must be published for a minimum of three corresponding weeks in a local newspaper or a general circulation in the corresponding county. The final notice of sale has to be published at least 30 days before the sale date.
Every notice of default has certain information that it must contain to be considered valid. It has to have the time, date, and location of the sale, as well as a description of the defaulted property, the lender's intent to sell the property, and the deed of trust.
The foreclosure auction itself must take place in a public setting between the normal business hours of 9 am and 5 pm, and this date must be clearly listed on the notice of default. At this time, the appointed trustee will auction the property off to the highest bidder. However, the actual auction may be postponed up to 45 days if the original borrower that defaulted provides written notice.
Judicial Foreclosure
Lenders are allowed to go to court in a judicial foreclosure to have a judge sign off on the final proceedings. The lender files a lis pendens and a complaint to the court to begin the proceedings. The lis pendens provides the public notice that the property is being foreclosed on. The rest of this process typically follows the same procedure as a non-judicial foreclosure, except the courts are involved. The home will be sold at public auction through the courts.
Right to Redemption
Utah is one state that offers a post-sale right to redemption for judicial-type foreclosures. This law allows the borrower who defaulted to reclaim their home and property if they pay the defaulted amount in full, plus any costs associated with the foreclosure process. The court has the power to extend this period.
