According to a recent poll, nearly 28% of homes were bought as second homes. That is a staggering amount. Many of the Utah buyers are attracted to the affordable Utah real estate prices compared to other Western cities.

"I have seen a big increase in out of state buyers. In Park City or St. George many people from other states buy vacation homes. In Salt Lake, many buyers are buying homes for rental investment." Jim Bringhurst-SLC Board of Realtors.
