Mother nature has done some amazing work in Utah. Fortunately,
you can live in the middle of the masterpiece with reasonable
prices for Utah real estate.
Utah
Utah is a state of open desert in the south and raging mountains
in the north. Plunging gorges and raging rivers are something to
be seen in this state of immense beauty. If you enjoy outdoor
activities such as fishing, rock climbing, skiing, biking,
hiking, camping and water skiing, Utah may just be your nirvana.
Salt Lake City
Host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City is relaxed
place to live and centrally located to many of the wild wonders
of Utah. As host of the Olympics, a tremendous amount of money
and effort was put into the effort and it shows. The city has a
very modern atmosphere that surprisingly mixes with a more staid
way of life. The nightlife can be surprisingly active. If snow
skiing is your passion, Salt Lake City is surrounded by some of
the best skiing in the world.
Provo
Home to Brigham Young University, Provo has a definite college
atmosphere but with a twist. The town has a strong Mormon
influence and the lifestyle can best be described as very
conservative. Although you will not find a very active
nightlife, the town sits in a beautiful area and is ideal for
raising a family without worry about the typical risks
associated with living in many cities. If fly fishing is your
passion, the Provo River provides plenty of opportunities to try
out your flies.
Utah Real Estate
In general, Utah real estate is very affordable. A single-family
home in Provo averages $235,000, while you'll need an additional
$30,000 for the same home in Salt Lake City. These prices,
however, do not apply to any of the ski resort areas such as
Park City. You can expect to pay a premium for property in such
areas.
The appreciate rate for Utah real estate in 2005 was eight
percent. Although below the national average of 13 percent, this
is still an acceptable rate.
