Foreclosures & Short Sales in Taylorsville, Utah
Taylorsville sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, about 15 minutes south of downtown Salt Lake City and roughly 20 minutes from the airport via Bangerter Highway or I-215. It's a built-out, working-class suburb where most of the housing stock dates to the 1970s and 1980s — split-entries, ramblers, and tri-levels on quarter-acre lots, with pockets of newer infill near 4700 South and along Redwood Road. Median home prices typically run below the Salt Lake County average, which is part of why distressed properties here draw real interest: you're already starting from a more affordable basis, and the rental demand from the Granite School District attendance area and nearby Salt Lake Community College keeps investor activity steady. Buyers shopping foreclosures and short sales in Taylorsville are usually first-timers willing to put in sweat equity, or investors looking at flips and long-term holds.
A few things to know before you write an offer: short sales here can drag on for months while the seller's lender reviews the file, and bank-owned homes in this area are often sold as-is with deferred maintenance — old furnaces, original electrical panels, and roofs at the end of their life are common. Financing matters too; some of these properties won't qualify for FHA or VA without repair escrows, so cash and conventional buyers tend to have an edge. Browse the active listings below, and reach out if you'd like help evaluating condition, comps, or the realistic timeline on any specific property.
