Boo brings nearly a decade of front-line real estate experience to the practical side of buying, holding, and negotiating in Utah. Here are the educational insights buyers, sellers, and investors can apply immediately:
Watch for 3% concessions to disappear. When they do, list-price increases usually follow within months. Right now, new construction often costs less monthly than resale because of these buydowns.
Expect 12–18 months of grinding market conditions with sporadic inventory spikes. If rates drop into the 4s, move-up buyers locked in at 2–3% may finally reenter the market.
Utah City, The Point at Bluffdale, and Holiday Hills are rolling out over the next few years. These projects could permanently reshape demand, traffic patterns, and pricing across connected counties.
Beyond transaction details, Boo's interview reveals deeper truths about perseverance, discipline, and the purpose of work:
