What makes Salt Lake City cost less
A local move is crew hours, so the question is always what the housing here does to those hours. Wasatch Front housing is largely suburban with garages and driveways, but the older Avenues and Sugar House homes sit on steep streets with narrow driveways where a full-size truck cannot always reach the door.
Net of all that, Salt Lake City prices 2% below the national average. The same 2-bedroom local move that typically costs $1,075 nationally runs $1,050 in Salt Lake City, a difference of $25 less.
