Prices in Salt Lake City continued to climb as the city remains largely unaffected by the nationwide housing downturn due to low unsold inventory and a stable lending environment. This median-priced, ranch-style home was built in 1993 and has views of the surrounding mountains. There are five bedrooms and two baths across 1,800 square feet of interior space. The home also features a two-car garage and a rear patio. It is listed for $245,000 through Secure Real Estate.
