”I found that the housing prices are shockingly high to locals,” said Chris Kneeland, a new Utah resident. “But I think they’re shockingly affordable for people coming from higher priced markets.”
Remote work “changed a lot of ways that we all as individuals, work and play,” said Babs De Lay, principal broker for Urban Utah Homes and Estates.
The out-of-state “migration” of people to Utah jumped from being responsible for 49% of the population increase in 2020 to 59% in 2021. While higher prices don’t benefit renters and others who hope to buy homes, Kneeland said, he “imagined a lot of the locals would be reaping the benefits of their house values going up.”
Though, he conceded, he has the luxury of remote working — which “implies more than just control over when you clock in and clock out,” he said. It also means control over where you choose to live, raise children and “how you choose to spend your time,” Kneeland said.The increase in remote work doesn’t seem to have had a specific impact on reducing traffic, beyond helping to disperse morning drivers over a longer time window, said Mitch Shaw, a spokesperson for Utah Department of Transportation.
He felt that Texas changed after a large number of people moved in from outside the state. “All of a sudden, it wasn’t the same,” he said.
