OREM, Utah — With the news that the Federal Reserve may soon be dropping interest rates , many are wondering what that means for Utahns living in an apartment or wanting to buy a home.

"Everything is skyrocketing. I work as many hours as I can just to be able to afford to put food on the table every single day," said Orem resident Erica Hardman.

Hardman and her husband have been living at Village Park Apartments for four years. Their dream has always been to buy a home, but it's just not in the equation these days.

"What we're up against is, it's not affordable to get a house right now, no matter where you are, what hours you work, or if you're married, single, have kids, no kids," she explained. "The housing market is insane right now."
