Episode 151: Why Affordable Housing Is So Hard to Build
Everyone says we need more affordable housing—but why is it so hard to actually build it?
In this episode of Loans Elevated, we sit down with Josh Best of Countryside Homes to unpack the real reasons behind Utah’s housing affordability crisis. From zoning roadblocks and city politics to skyrocketing labor costs and fees, we reveal what’s really driving prices higher—and what (if anything) can fix it.
You’ll learn:
- Why zoning rules and city councils often kill affordability before a project starts
- How labor shortages, tariffs, and fees add tens of thousands to home prices
- Why a 40-year mortgage isn’t the solution most people think it is
- How builders are negotiating behind the scenes to keep homes “affordable”
- What buyers should really focus on in today’s market to get into a home
