Utah’s housing marketing continues to rise and since 2010, Utah has one of the nation’s most rapid growing populations. Meanwhile, household incomes are not keeping pace with the rising prices in the housing market.

Zillow estimated home values in Utah to have gone up 11.2% over the past year alone.

As the housing market prices rise, it is natural to have concern when contemplating affordability living in Utah.

Derek Miller, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber and Downtown Alliance states, “As a business community, we’ve had great success when we’ve worked together to address other issues like transportation and education…In a similar fashion, we’ve organized the Housing Gap Coalition to proactively address housing affordability before it becomes a crisis.”
