When it comes to middle housing, you’ve got to have style.
So says the latest report from the Utah Foundation, an independent research group, that shows in new surveys that 72% of respondents say “style is the most important factor in their housing preferences.”
And the style is?
You guessed it, single-family detached units, extra points if the garage is not visible.
While Utahns’ preference for single-family homes seems like a statement of the obvious, the report also fleshes out a number of nuances, even paradoxes, that may give land-use authorities and housing advocates a better sense of how to proceed with filling the “45,000-door housing gap,” the number of Utah home seekers who according to analysis from the foundation have been elbowed out of one of the hottest housing markets in the country by runaway costs stemming from record low interest rates, supply chain back logs, and a burgeoning population.
