1. Salt Lake City
Median price: $225,700
Price change: +3.7 percent
The job market is strong in Salt Lake City and foreclosures have remained low, so Utah's capital has escaped the worst of the real estate meltdown. Prices have actually increased 3.7 percent over last year. But it's still a buyer's market there. You can get this cute 4-bedroom bungalow in the Fairpark area for $210,692.
