Foreclosure in West Valley City: where to start
Rising costs have stretched a lot of West Valley City households. If you have fallen behind, a sale can protect the equity you have built up in the house.
West Valley City is the second-largest city in Utah, with a big stock of 1960s to 1990s single-family homes, split-levels and townhomes.
Below is what generally applies in Salt Lake County, your realistic options, and how a sale to us would work.
Three paths forward
- Reinstate or modify. Your income can support the payment going forward. Trade-off: you need cash or servicer approval.
- Short sale. You owe more than the house is worth. Trade-off: needs lender approval and can take time.
- Sell for cash. You have equity and want to protect it. Trade-off: you move, and the price reflects a fast, as-is sale.
Before we talk, find these if you can
- Your notice of default or notice of sale (if you have one)
- A recent mortgage statement
- Any second mortgage or HELOC statements
- The sale date, if one has been set
Missing something? That is fine. We can usually start without it.
How it works in Salt Lake County
Most Utah foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales. For a West Valley City property, the trustee records the notice of default with the Salt Lake County Recorder. Utah law then requires at least three months before the notice of sale, which must be published for three consecutive weeks and posted on the property and at the county recorder at least 20 days before the sale. The sale itself is a public auction. You own the house, and can sell it, until that sale happens.
Talk to a foreclosure attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your specific notice. Sources: Utah Code 57-1-24 and 57-1-25.
