Yes. The difference in price is truly unbelievable. I had to call the agent to make sure they hadn't left a zero off of the asking price. Equivalent places I was looking at in Utah were going to cost several million dollars.

Your story sounds like those of Californians who moved to Utah a decade ago. Before you know it, people in Little Rock coffee shops will be complaining about the influx of Utahns selling their modest West Jordan homes to buy mansions in Arkansas.

Utah has remained a hidden gem for years, but external market pressures are driving up prices, and supply is surprisingly constrained by the local geography (mountains and bodies of water constricting available land in the SLC metro.) Utah doesn't enjoy the same wide open space of many inland states, at least in the developed areas where people want to live.

So... I'm getting over 200,000 sqft of warehouse and office space. I'm planning on living there which will actually make it, by far, the largest private home in the entire US.

I need that much space for prototyping some of my inventions and intend to open the worlds largest Makerspace, hackerspace, and artist commune.

You also have to consider distance to the city center or recreational areas, lot size, neighborhood type, architecture, etc.
