What do you get when you combine affordable living, a high quality of life, 4.4 percent job growth and an unemployment rate of 2.7 percent? Answer: Salt Lake City houses for sale.
A recent report from the Utah Department of Workforce Service says the state is on track to add 53,500 jobs this year. Salt Lake City -- the center of Utah's economic growth -- reflects what happens with this type of job growth: an average price increase of 14 percent to more than $246,000. When you look at the market zip code, by zip code, it's even more jaw dropping information on homes.
Salt Lake Board of Realtors reports the hottest zip code in the city grew the third quarter by more than 24 percent.
