This week, Cameron sits down with Travis Maddox from EDGEHomes to unpack one of the biggest questions Utah buyers are facing right now:

Then, in the Deal of the Week segment, Travis breaks down EDGEHomes’ current incentives—including closing cost help, design credits, and financing perks that are helping more buyers afford a brand-new home.
