Salt Lake City Homes for Sale
From the mountains to the valley, there are many types of Salt Lake City real estate to choose from.
Cabins:
The cabins located in the mountains on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley are a great place to escape for those who have a home in the valley (or nearby). In addition to providing a getaway location, cabins can be an investment.
Many come to ski at one of Utah’s many resorts. Some will stay at the resort itself, while others would like to relax a few miles from the resort in a cabin. Buying a cabin as an investment can be a good idea, if you have the money for a long-term investment. There are some tax implications if you rent the cabin, so keep that in mind. You will also have to clean the cabin between visits or pay someone to clean it for you.
If you are moving:
There is so much to do in or around Salt Lake City. You can hike and ski in the nearby mountains or attend one of Salt Lake’s great theaters. But before you can settle down and enjoy Salt Lake City, you’ll want to find a place to live.
Salt Lake City Real Estate / Residential:
Like most other cities, Salt Lake City offers a variety of residential real estate. The city has apartments, small houses and luxury houses. There aren’t many lots for sale within the city itself, but there is still plenty of room for growth in the Salt Lake suburbs.
To the west and southwest of Salt Lake are several new and developing communities where you can get a great purchase on a new home. If you are not interested in a new home, there are many nice houses that have been around for a few years, and others (while still nice) have been around for years.
Of course, you will have your own preferences regarding the age of your home. There are other things that will help you make a good decision about the area in which you choose to live. A real estate agent can help you find a neighborhood with a low crime rate that is located near a good elementary, middle, or high school.
If you’re moving, you’ll also want to consider that Salt Lake City is in the process of expanding its public transportation, primarily light rail. If you are interested in using public transportation, you may want to get closer to the light rail.
Salt Lake City Real Estate / Commercial:
Salt Lake offers many types of office space. There are buildings where you can rent an office or a complete floor for your company. If you are moving your business to Salt Lake City, or if your business is already in Salt Lake but expanding, there are several real estate agencies that specialize in commercial real estate.
