Most listing alerts are just inventory in your inbox. This is a little more useful.
Each week, we highlight the Utah homes that stand out for upside, value, location, or improvement potential—so you can spend less time scrolling past granite countertops and more time paying attention to the listings that might be overlooked.
$1,000,000 · 5 bd · 3 bath · 3,460 sqft · Upside +$115k (11.5%)
333 BERN WAY, MIDWAY
Sweeping Timpanogos and reservoir views, no HOA, and a true basecamp feel make this one memorable fast. The upside here is driven by a setting buyers cannot fake later and year-round livability they will use.
Pretty photos are nice. So is immediate upside.
WASATCH FRONT LISTINGS
1541 E LONE PEAK DR, HOLLADAY
$697,900 · 4 bd · 2 bath · 2,135 sqft · Upside +$116k (16.6%)
Main-floor living, Mt. Olympus views, and meaningful updates make this a very durable kind of appealing. It made the list because it feels polished now without looking fully priced to perfection.
3270 E MAJESTIC DR, MILLCREEK
$889,000 · 5 bd · 4 bath · 2,684 sqft · Upside +$129k (14.6%)
Recent remodel with Mt. Olympus views gives this one instant credibility with buyers. Location plus room for well-placed upgrades is still a very efficient formula.
2297 S WINDSOR ST, SLC
$389,000 · 2 bd · 1 bath · 1,176 sqft · Upside +$69k (17.6%)
Charm, location, and a lot with room to improve is a very solid recipe. Small homes in good neighborhoods can outperform quickly when they don’t feel generic.
384 E ST, SLC
$1,050,000 · 4 bd · 3 bath · 2,991 sqft · Upside +$150k (14.3%)
The Avenues, walkability, and a finished product buyers actually want is already a strong formula. Premium urban homes with charm and real livability rarely stay underrated for long.
2175 W COLONY POINTE DR, LEHI
$1.35M · 4 bd · 3 bath · 4,728 sqft · Upside +$211k (15.6%)
Scale, craftsmanship, and a custom-builder feel give this one more than just square footage to work with. The upside is compelling because the finish level (and unfinished basement) look stronger than the ask.
2963 E 3135 S, MILLCREEK
$699,900 · 4 bd · 2 bath · 2,538 sqft · Upside +$119k (17.0%)
Backing directly to Canyon Rim Park gives this one a real location edge. Add a good rambler footprint and upside starts to look less theoretical and more obvious.
WILD CARD WORTH YOUR TIME
2149 APACHE TRAIL #18, PARK CITY
$1,850,000 · 4 bd · 4 bath · 2,196 sqft · Upside +$235k (12.7%)
This week’s eye-catcher. Premium market, premium price, and the kind of upside story that makes even casual Park City watchers open the tab.
REST OF UTAH
NORTH & SOUTH
This week, we wandered across the state to find the homes that have more than just good bones. A few gems to bookmark:
764 E Mountain Rd, North Ogden
$1M · 5 bd · 3 bath · 4,346 sqft · Upside +$152k (15.2%)
Big views, a 4-car garage, and an unfinished basement give this one both immediate appeal and strong future upside.
2635 S 3070 E, St. George
$775,000 · 5 bd · 3 bath · 2,820 sqft · Upside +$106k (13.6%)
Horse privileges, RV parking, outdoor kitchen, and a flexible layout make this one more interesting than average. The upside comes from a property that offers both lifestyle and utility, which usually plays well.
A FINAL WORD
A lot of the most interesting listings right now aren’t the cheapest, newest, or most polished. They’re the ones where the pricing, location, and potential don’t quite line up in the obvious way.
That’s usually where opportunity lives.
Quick note: estimated upside reflects the midpoint of Stairtop’s modeled upside range. It’s not a promise. It is a much better filter than “has subway tile.”
