Foreclosures & Short Sales in Taylorsville, Utah
Taylorsville sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, sandwiched between West Valley City, Murray, and West Jordan, with quick access to I-215, Bangerter Highway, and the 5400 South corridor. It's an older, established suburb — most of the housing stock was built between the 1960s and 1990s — which means distressed listings here tend to be ramblers, split-entries, and bi-levels on quarter-acre lots rather than newer construction. Median prices generally run below the Salt Lake County average, which is part of why bargain hunters watch Taylorsville closely for foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, bank-owned (REO) properties, and short sales. Proximity to Salt Lake Community College's Redwood campus, Taylorsville-Bennion Heritage Center, and a 15-minute drive to downtown SLC keeps demand steady even when a property needs work.
Distressed inventory in Taylorsville is thin in any given month — usually a handful of listings at most — and competition from investors and cash buyers is real, especially on anything under $450K. Short sales here move slowly because they require lender approval, and HUD homes and REOs are typically sold as-is, so buyers should budget for inspections, deferred maintenance (roofs, HVAC, sewer laterals on older homes), and possible cash-only financing if a property won't qualify for conventional or FHA loans. Working with an agent who has closed short sales and bank-owned deals in the Salt Lake Valley makes a meaningful difference on offer structure and timeline expectations.

Common questions
About foreclosures & short sales in Taylorsville.
What's the difference between a foreclosure and a short sale in Taylorsville? ▾
A foreclosure (or REO) is a home the bank has already repossessed and is reselling, usually as-is with a relatively standard closing timeline. A short sale is still owned by the homeowner, but they're selling for less than they owe and need lender approval — which can stretch the process to 60–120+ days. Pricing, negotiation, and condition expectations differ for each.
How many distressed listings are typically active in Taylorsville? ▾
It varies, but Taylorsville usually has only a small number of foreclosures and short sales on the MLS at any given time — often fewer than ten combined. Inventory swings with the broader Salt Lake County market, so signing up for new-listing alerts is the most reliable way to catch them early.
Can I use an FHA or VA loan on a Taylorsville foreclosure? ▾
Sometimes. Many bank-owned homes in Taylorsville are older and may have condition issues (peeling paint, missing handrails, roof age, plumbing) that fail FHA or VA appraisals. If the property is in livable shape it can work, but cash and conventional financing tend to win competitive offers on distressed inventory here.
Are distressed homes in Taylorsville actually a discount? ▾
Often yes, but the discount usually reflects real repair costs. Expect to budget for HVAC, roof, flooring, and sometimes sewer line work on homes built in the 60s–80s. Run the numbers with repair estimates included — a $50K "discount" can shrink fast once you have contractor bids.
How long does a short sale typically take to close in Taylorsville? ▾
Plan on 60 to 120 days from offer to close, sometimes longer if there's a second lien or mortgage insurer involved. The seller's lender drives the timeline, not the seller. Buyers who need to be in a home quickly are usually better off targeting REO listings or standard sales.
Do I need a different kind of agent for foreclosure purchases? ▾
You want an agent who has actually closed REO and short sale transactions in Salt Lake County. The paperwork, addenda (especially bank-specific contracts), inspection contingencies, and earnest money rules differ from a standard resale, and small mistakes can cost you the deal or your deposit.
