Only one of the 32 zip codes in Salt Lake County experienced single family home price appreciation in 2009. The Holladay zip code of 84117 increased its single family home median home price 3.32%. The fact that Holladay is one Salt Lake’s more desirable areas is no accident. Areas such as this, The Avenues and Sugarhouse experienced an increase in demand towards the end of the year, which hopefully signals a stabilizing housing market.
