IS THIS THE LAST YEAR FOR TIME CHANGE?
As of March 15, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent all year round. The legislation is headed to the House of Representatives for review.
If the bill is passed, we would begin to experience later sunsets and sunrises throughout the winter starting in 2024.
So, what does this mean for the residents of Utah?
Right now, the latest sunrise in our area is around 7:51 a.m. in early January. The new sunrise would be an hour later at 8:51 a.m. Relying on the sun as your alarm clock may no longer be your best bet.
Currently, the earliest sunset in our area is around 4:59 p.m. in December each year. The new sunset would be an hour later, at 5:59 p.m. The sun would set on Christmas Eve at 6:06 p.m.
Despite the change, the spring, summer, and majority of fall sunrises and sunsets would remain the same.
The legislation would not affect the length of our days. The shortest day of the y ...

The question many homebuyers are facing this year is, “Why is it so hard to find a house?” We’re in the ultimate sellers’ market, which means real estate is ultra-competitive for buyers right now. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) notes homes are getting an average of 4.8 offers per sale, and that number keeps rising. Why? It’s because there are so few houses for sale.
Low inventory in the housing market isn’t new, but it’s becoming more challenging to navigate. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com, explains:
“The housing market is still relatively under supplied, and buyers can’t buy what’s not for sale. Relative to what we saw in 2017 to 2019, March 2021 was still roughly 117,000 new listings lower, adding to the pre-existing early-year gap of more than 200,000 fresh listings that would typically have come to market in January or February. Despite this week ...

A Fannie Mae survey recently revealed some of the most highly-rated benefits of homeownership, which continue to be key drivers in today’s power-packed housing market. Here are the top four financial benefits of owning a home according to consumer respondents:
88% - a better chance of saving for retirement
87% - the best investment plan
85% - the chance to be better off financially
85% - the chance to build up wealth
Additional financial advantages of homeownership included in the survey are having the best overall tax situation and being able to live within your budget.
Does homeownership actually give you a better chance to build wealth?
No one can question a person’s unique feelings about the importance of homeownership. However, it’s fair to ask if the numbers justify homeownership as a financial asset.
Last fall, the Federal Reserve released the Survey of Consumer Finances, a report done every three years ...
