Millcreek Home Sold — Seller Saves Approximately $9,500 With a Reduced Listing Commission

A 4-bedroom row-end townhouse in Millcreek’s Amblewood Springs community sold with a reduced listing commission from DiscountAgent.com — saving our seller approximately $9,500 at closing compared to a traditional full-commission listing.

About the Home: A Row-End Townhouse with Single-Family Feel in Amblewood Springs

This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom row-end townhouse in the Amblewood Springs PUD offered something most townhomes don’t — the privacy, space, and feel of a single-family residence. With 2,543 square feet across three finished levels, an open main-floor layout with vaulted ceilings, and a fully fenced private yard, this property lived larger than its footprint suggested. The row-end position meant fewer shared walls and more natural light, while the 0.09-acre lot was a rarity for the townhouse category in Millcreek.

The main level featured an open great room with a gas log fireplace, an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, and easy flow to a private patio. Upstairs, the primary suite included an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and direct patio access with mountain views. The fully finished basement added two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a separate laundry room — ideal for guests, a home office setup, or growing families. A 2-car attached garage with overhead storage, plantation shutters throughout, full landscaping with mature trees, and a hot tub in the fenced backyard rounded out the package.

Students in this part of Millcreek are assigned to Crestview Elementary, Olympus Junior High, and Olympus High School — all part of the Granite School District. You can browse other active listings on our Millcreek homes for sale page.

How the Listing Commission Savings Worked

In a traditional Utah real estate transaction, the seller typically pays around 3% to the listing brokerage — separate from whatever is offered to the buyer’s side. On a mid-market Millcreek home, that listing-side fee adds up to a serious chunk of the seller’s equity. At DiscountAgent.com, our standard seller program charges a 1.5% listing commission, cutting the listing fee in half while still providing full MLS marketing, professional photography, pricing strategy, negotiation, and closing support.

On this transaction, the seller used our standard 1.5% listing program — the same program available to any seller in Utah, no past-client requirement or special qualification needed. The math worked out to approximately $9,500 in seller savings at closing compared to a traditional 3% listing commission. That’s real money kept in the seller’s pocket without giving anything up on the marketing or representation side.

The service level was full-service the whole way through. The home was professionally photographed, syndicated across the MLS and major real estate portals, strategically priced based on live Millcreek-area comparable data, and actively marketed. It received offers and closed with a conventional buyer. The seller received the same full-service experience any DiscountAgent.com listing gets — the only thing that changed was how much of the sale proceeds they kept at the closing table.

Quick Facts About This Sale

About Millcreek & the Amblewood Springs Neighborhood

Millcreek is one of Salt Lake County’s most desirable east-side communities, incorporated as its own city in 2016 after decades as an unincorporated township. The city offers a mix of established mid-century neighborhoods, newer infill development, mature tree canopies, and exceptional access to the Wasatch Front. From here it’s a quick drive up Big Cottonwood or Little Cottonwood Canyon for skiing and hiking, an easy commute downtown via I-215 or Highland Drive, and a short trip to Holladay’s shops and restaurants.

Amblewood Springs is a small, well-established townhouse PUD with a modest quarterly HOA fee that covers maintenance and snow removal — a real benefit for buyers who want east-side Millcreek living without the full upkeep of a single-family home. Row-end units like this one tend to attract the most buyer interest because they offer extra light, an extra exterior wall, and often a slightly larger yard.
