UTAH · May 2026
9.3 months of renovation before a 12-month term breaks
Based on the median across 2 covered markets. Your own county may give you more room or less - the table below has each one.
Across the 2 Utah markets covered here, homes take a median of 38 days to sell. Add roughly 45 days for the buyer to close and the tail after your renovation runs about 2.7 months.
A flip is three phases: renovation, then time on market, then the buyer's closing. Only the first is under your control, and the other two keep accruing interest.
Every covered Utah market

What this actually means for borrowing here
- Ask for the term you need, not the term offered. Twelve months is a product default, not an assessment of your deal.
- Get the extension terms in writing - the fee, the length, and whether granting one is your right or the lender's discretion. See extensions and default.
- Price the deal at the full hold, not the renovation timeline. Run it through the true-cost calculator and watch the break-even resale price move.
- Check licensing. Whether a lender needs a licence to lend in Utah is a separate question with a real answer - see lender licensing.
