About the Property: A House-Hacker’s Duplex in Tooele

This side-by-side duplex on a corner lot in Tooele’s Scottsdale Sub was set up almost perfectly for one of the most popular first-property strategies going right now: house hacking. The idea is simple — live in one unit, rent the other, and let the tenant’s rent offset a significant chunk of your mortgage payment. This property delivered the ingredients that make that math actually work.

Each of the two units offered a self-contained 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout with its own central HVAC, laundry hookups, and dedicated storage. The units were separately metered for gas and electric, with tenants paying their own utilities — a clean setup for an owner-occupant who doesn’t want to become the utility company. Both sides had a gas oven/range, refrigerator, and central air, and both had three uncovered parking spots (six total on-site parking spaces across the property) plus a storage unit each.

The lot itself was a real asset: 0.28 acres on a corner, with flat terrain, mountain views, curb and gutter, and partial fencing. The MLS also noted the lot could be subdivided, which opens up interesting long-range options for the new owner. Both units came with paying tenants at $1,090/month each — giving a buyer the option to inherit existing rental income, or move into one unit as leases turn over and shift into house-hacker mode.

The neighborhood falls within the Tooele School District, with assigned schools including West Elementary, Tooele Junior High, and Tooele High School. You can browse other active listings on our Tooele homes for sale page.

The Story: A Two-Property Seller and Our 1% Multi-Listing Program

The seller on this transaction had two properties to sell in Tooele at roughly the same time — this duplex on Coleman Street and a single-family home a few miles away. When a seller comes to us with more than one property, we can often structure a multi-listing discount that goes deeper than our standard 1.5% listing program: on this arrangement, we agreed to 1% on the listing side of each property in exchange for handling both listings. That’s a full two-thirds discount off a traditional 3% listing commission, on both sales.

On this duplex specifically, that math worked out to approximately $7,000 in seller savings at closing compared to a traditional 3% listing. Combined with the savings on the other property, the seller kept thousands more in equity across the two transactions than a traditional listing structure would have delivered. If you want to read the sister-property story, that sale is documented at 1118 S 900 W in Tooele.

Multi-listing pricing isn’t on our website as a public program — it’s negotiated case-by-case based on the number of properties, timing, complexity, and pricing. But the general rule is straightforward: the more work you bring us at once, the more aggressive we can be on the commission. If you have two or more Utah properties to sell, that’s worth a phone call.

Tooele Multi-Listing Commission Savings by Price Point

Here’s what the math looks like across typical Tooele-area price points for our negotiated 1% multi-listing rate, compared against a traditional 3% listing commission. This table illustrates the multi-listing arrangement used on this transaction and is not our standard public program — savings assume the seller lists two or more properties with us in the same engagement. Figures represent the listing-side commission only and do not account for the buyer-side commission, which is negotiated separately.

Table shown for general illustration only. Actual savings depend on final sale price, terms, and transaction specifics.

All commission rates are negotiable and not set by law. Figures are not guaranteed. The 1% multi-listing rate shown here is a negotiated arrangement for sellers with two or more Utah properties — it is not our standard public program. Single-property sellers qualify for our standard 1.5% listing program.

Quick Facts About This Sale

About Tooele & the Scottsdale Sub Neighborhood

Tooele sits about 30 miles west of Salt Lake City, on the west side of the Oquirrh Mountains — close enough for a Salt Lake commute, far enough to feel like its own community. The city has become one of Utah’s fastest-growing markets over the past decade, driven by attainable pricing relative to the Salt Lake Valley, expanded employment in logistics and manufacturing at the nearby Utah Inland Port, and a steady flow of families looking for more space per dollar.

The Scottsdale Sub area sits in central-south Tooele, close to the city center, schools, and Main Street corridor. It’s a mix of older single-family homes and a handful of small multi-unit properties like this one — a neighborhood that appeals to first-time buyers, house hackers, and small investors who want cash-flow potential without the pricing of Salt Lake County.
