Common questions

About fixer upper homes in Salt Lake City.

Are there fixer-upper homes in Salt Lake City? ▾

Yes, more than in most of Utah, because so much of the city's housing is older. There are 19 listings described as needing work today.

Do I need approval to remodel a historic home in Salt Lake City? ▾

If it's in a local historic district (the Avenues, Capitol Hill, Central City, South Temple, University and parts of Yalecrest, among others), exterior changes and demolition need review by the Historic Landmark Commission.

What should I inspect on an older Salt Lake City home? ▾

The foundation and masonry (Salt Lake City sits on the Wasatch Fault), the roof, sewer line, electrical and radon levels. Utah DEQ sells low-cost radon test kits.
