Should I move to Utah?

Is Utah the right move for you? Get an honest answer.

Utah fits a lot of people, but not everyone. Answer a few questions about weather, land, and daily life. I will tell you what I honestly think, even if the answer is no.

How it works


Answer what you can. Skip the rest.

Every question is about the place, not about you. Skip any you do not care about. You get one of three results: a strong fit, a mixed fit, or not a fit.

Question 1 of 10

How do you feel about snow and cold winters?

Most of Utah gets snow in winter. The St. George area gets little or none.

How do you feel about hot, dry summers?

Utah is a dry state. Summers are hot in the south and milder up high.

How do you feel about living up high?

Of the 138 Utah towns on this site, 127 sit at 4,000 feet or higher.

How close do you want to be to the ocean?

Utah has no coast. The closest beaches are in California, a long drive away.

What do you like to do on a day off?

Utah has five national parks, plus ski areas, lakes, and trails.

Will you need to find a job in Utah?

Most of Utah's jobs are in the cities from Ogden to Provo. Small towns have fewer.

How do you feel about driving?

In most Utah towns, you need a car to get around. Some towns are far apart.

Have you looked at home prices in the Utah towns you like?

Prices change a lot from town to town. The City Finder shows what your budget buys.

How often will you travel back to where you live now?

Salt Lake City has Utah's largest airport. Some towns are hours away from it.

This only picks which moving guide to show you.

The quiz is a place to start, not advice. Weather, prices, and jobs change.

The town counts and heights come from the data behind the City Finder.

Partner agents outside Southern Utah. In Iron, Washington, Kane, Garfield, and Beaver counties I am your agent. Elsewhere in Utah, I connect you with a partner agent I trust in that area. If you buy or sell with an agent I refer, that agent's brokerage pays my brokerage a referral fee out of their own compensation, never an added cost to you. You are always free to choose any agent you wish. If I connect you with an agent outside Utah, the same kind of referral fee applies. It is never an added cost to you.
How my dual role works. I am licensed in both real estate and mortgage lending. On any single purchase I take one role only, never both at once, and every role is disclosed. You are always free to choose your own agent and your own lender. The full explanation is on How I Work.

Questions about a move? Let's talk it through.

I can walk you through homes, prices, and the move itself. In Southern Utah, I am your agent. Anywhere else in Utah, I will connect you with a partner agent I trust.
