Fixer Upper Homes for Sale in Utah
These are Utah homes whose listings say they need work: fixers, handyman specials, "needs TLC" and as-is sales. There are 205 right now, with a median asking price of $399,000. The most are in Salt Lake City, Ogden and West Valley City, and the median one was built in 1975.
Investors and owner-occupants compete for the same short list, so have financing and an inspector lined up before you tour. Many are in older Wasatch Front neighborhoods in Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo. Budget for an inspection and a radon test: the Utah Department of Environmental Quality says about 1 in 3 Utah homes tested has high radon levels. See also Utah foreclosures and short sales.

Common questions
About fixer upper homes in Utah.
How much is a fixer-upper in Utah? ▾

How fast do fixer-uppers sell in Utah? ▾

Should I test an older Utah home for radon? ▾
Yes. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality reports high radon levels in about 1 in 3 Utah homes tested, and testing is the only way to know. Short-term test kits are inexpensive and can be part of the inspection period.
What should I know about buying a pre-1978 home? ▾
Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. Federal law requires the seller to disclose any known lead paint and to give the buyer a 10-day opportunity to test for it, which the buyer can shorten or waive. Contractors who disturb lead paint must follow EPA lead-safe work rules.
Can I inspect a home that is sold as-is in Utah? ▾
Yes. As-is means the seller won't make repairs, not that you can't inspect. Keep your due diligence period, get the inspection, and price the work before it ends.
