The real estate boom has gone West...and Northwest.

The state with the fastest-growing home prices in the fourth quarter was Utah, at 18%, more than double the U.S. average, a government report showed Thursday.  Wyoming was No. 2 at 14.3% and Idaho was third at 14%.  Washington gained 13.7% and Oregon was fifth at 13.5%.

California came in at No. 35, with a gain of 4.6%, compared with 21% a year later.

Utah's economy in 2007 is poised to record, for the third consecutive year, very impressive growth.  The national economic environment should remain generally supportive of the state's economic expansion.  A softening national housing market should persist throughout the year and is expected to reduce Real GDP by 1 percentage point--to a still-respectable 2.75-percent range.  Core inflation near 2.5 percent is declining and crude-oil prices are approaching $50/barrel, which will help offset a 25 percent drop in national housing starts.  Through it all, short-term interest rates should remain unchanged, with bond and mortgage rates fluctuating near current levels.

Utah's 2007 expected job growth at 4.5 percent, or 54,500 new jobs, is just slightly below a…
