I guess I’m a little confused? The population of SLC, itself is just under 200,000. That, for instance, is smaller than cities like Boise, ID, and Spokane, WA. I think of these cities, as, more mid sized, than large.

I know the metro area itself, is larger. SLC must be in boom town mode, eh?

You really are hung up on developers....lol Most people would just say "I"m not interested in selling" and hang up. You seem to think that real estate developers and builders are the devil's spawn. What's the story with that????

Indeed. You can't even buy a parking space for $75,000 in this state.

Good for you! At least now you should be rid of his calls.

Our five acres in the city limits turned into a gold mine. Land owners on each side of us sold out to the developers. We waited for all the homes to be built then put our 5 acres up on the market. One of the best decision ever. It's a win win situation if your area is getting built out as it only means that the land will go up in price. You will loose your privacy if your neighbors decide to sell.

@hsawaknow

That’s similar to prices in San Diego area though the claim is that the median in SD county about $650,000. (Probably some rural and some condos skew the r silts down some)

10-15 years ago, used to joke with relatives in n other states that you couldn’t get a house that said Fido over the arched opening for less

than $250,000 - that isn’t far from the truth now.

@lynne6was7 @shortbreadlover

Others will call. Happens whenever an area becomes hot. Best solution is to just not answer the phone if you don't recognize the number ,and save herself the aggravation.

It's a much better problem to have than needing to sell her home ..... and can't get a decent price for it.

salt lake is booming.

that $75.000 was just fr the house. the lot would have cost him at least $4 millionm if i wanted to sell

i hate deveoplers because they move into an area, make huge donations to elected officals to get their way with land laws and then build cheap house and move on.

WOW! 4 Milllion for a 1/2 acre R1 lot? I live in a very affluent So Cal city and even I think that is a lot

Sell! move out here- 4 million might get you a whole acre and the weather is great!
