Most listing alerts tell you what’s new. We’re more interested in what looks promising.
This week's list leans into homes where the next owner—not the last one—gets the upside. From classic east-side Salt Lake neighborhoods to Silicon Slopes, Davis County, and Southern Utah, these are the listings where the gap between today's asking price and tomorrow's potential stood out.
Upside = how much more value a home could reasonably have today, based on similar homes, current demand, and the improvements or positioning that could unlock more value.
2327 E Cavalier Dr, Cottonwood Heights
$930,000 · 6 bd · 3 ba · 3,900 sqft · Upside up to +$179K (19.2%)
Floor-to-ceiling windows, sweeping mountain and valley views, nearly 4,000 square feet, and six bedrooms make this one of the most compelling homes in Cottonwood Heights this week. Updated bathrooms, expansive living spaces, and an established foothill setting give it the kind of scale and location that's increasingly difficult to find. The model suggests buyers may still be underpricing just how scarce homes like this have become.
1176 E Herbert Ave, Salt Lake City
$965,000 · 4 bd · 3 ba · Upside up to +$145K (15.0%)
This east-side Salt Lake home combines one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods with the kind of opportunity buyers rarely find today. Mature trees, timeless architecture, and solid fundamentals create an ideal canvas for thoughtful improvements without paying the premium of a fully renovated home. It's the type of property where location does much of the heavy lifting—and the next owner still has room to create value.
1019 E Bryan Ave, Salt Lake City
$750,000 · 3 bd · 2 ba · 2,135 sqft · Upside up to +$125K (16.6%)
Tree-lined streets, historic charm, hardwood floors, and walkability to Sugar House shops and restaurants continue to command a premium. This home captures everything buyers love about the neighborhood while still leaving meaningful upside through thoughtful updates rather than major reconstruction.
6764 S 2445 E, Salt Lake City
$700,000 · 6 bd · 3 ba · 2,880 sqft · Upside up to +$132K (18.8%)
Six bedrooms on the east side for $700K is becoming increasingly uncommon. Mountain views, hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, and a spacious backyard make this a compelling option for buyers who need space without sacrificing location. The model sees meaningful upside because homes with this much functionality continue to outperform.
632 E 3550 S, Bountiful
$850,000 · 5 bd · 3 ba · 4,163 sqft · Upside up to +$98K (11.5%)
East Bench Bountiful continues to attract buyers looking for larger lots, mountain views, and established neighborhoods. With over 4,100 square feet, a potential mother-in-law setup, and generous living space, this home offers flexibility that's increasingly difficult to find along the Wasatch Front.
2737 N 3760 W, Lehi
$699,900 · 6 bd · 5 ba · 3,877 sqft · Upside up to +$149K (21.3%)
Nearly 3,900 square feet, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and Holbrook Farms—all under $700K. Located minutes from Thanksgiving Point and Silicon Slopes, this home offers significantly more space than many buyers expect at this price point, helping explain the model's 21% upside.
2744 E Carmine Dr, St. George
$840,000 · 5 bd · 4 ba · Upside up to +$80K (9.6%)
Recently renovated with a custom kitchen, main-floor primary suite, RV parking, a three-car garage, and no HOA, this home is ready for its next owner from day one. Unlike many upside plays, the opportunity here isn't renovation—it's buying a turnkey home that still appears priced below comparable demand.
A FINAL WORD
One trend stood out this week: the strongest opportunities weren't concentrated in one city or one price range.
Instead, they showed up in homes with something that's increasingly difficult to recreate—established neighborhoods, flexible layouts, oversized lots, family-friendly floor plans, and locations buyers consistently compete for.
Those are often the listings where the market takes a little longer to recognize the full value.
Quick note: estimated upside reflects the top of Stairtop’s modeled upside range. It’s not a promise. It is a much better filter than “has subway tile.”
