🔥 Fire pits don’t just add warmth, they add value. NAR says fire features rank among the top outdoor projects for ROI (65%+). Utah buyers are looking for lifestyle, not just square footage.
Gas vs. Wood: the great fire debate 🔥 Gas wins for convenience, wood wins for nostalgia. Which one would you want in your Utah dream home?
From marshmallows to market value, fire pits are HOT in Utah real estate. Cozy lifestyle + buyer demand = homes that sell faster. Would you add one to your backyard?
🏡 40% of buyers are willing to pay more for a home with at least one fireplace (NAR). Utah winters + fireplaces = the perfect match. Gas or wood — which one would you choose?
🔥 83% of homeowners say an outdoor fire feature boosts their enjoyment of the property (NAR). Marshmallows or market value? In Utah, fire pits deliver both. Would you pay more for a home with one?
Is buying a home cheaper than renting in Utah right now? 🤔

Short answer: No.

Long-term answer: It depends on your goals.

Full breakdown with real numbers on my website now!
Utah ranks among the most expensive housing markets in the U.S. Median home price: ~$560K. Average rent: ~$1,900. 📊

So… is buying really worth it right now?
Rent in Utah: $1,700–$2,100/month 🏠

Mortgage on a median Utah home: $3,100–$3,300/month 💸

Renting is cheaper short-term, but buying builds equity & stability. Which side are you on?
Too much 'lipstick' and not enough substance? 🚩 New flooring + paint are nice, but if the HVAC, roof, or plumbing are ancient, you’re buying problems wrapped in pretty packaging.
If lights are on in every single room during a showing… 🚩 Sellers may be covering poor natural light. Try turning a few off to see the real vibe.
Cracks in the foundation or uneven floors? 🚩 Those aren’t ‘quirks,’ they’re $$$ problems waiting for you after closing. Always worth a closer inspection.
Painted-over walls look fresh, but if only one section is painted… 🚩 It could be hiding water damage or a patch job. Always ask why that wall was singled out.
If you walk into a showing and it smells like a Bath & Body Works exploded… 🚩 Sellers could be masking odors like pets, mold, or smoke. Trust your nose! It doesn’t lie.
The future of real estate is officially in your hands.
