About the Home: A Row-End Townhome with Resort-Style Amenities in Hunter Village

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom row-end townhome in the Towns At Hunter Village community offered low-maintenance living with a long list of community perks. At 1,580 square feet across two levels, the home featured a spacious updated kitchen with an island, fresh carpet and paint, can lighting, and a comfortable open feel. The row-end position meant an extra exterior wall, more natural light, and added privacy compared to interior units.

Upstairs, the primary suite included a private en-suite bath and a walk-in closet. A covered patio off the main level opened to community green space, with the swimming pool just steps from the back door. The 2-car attached garage with opener added everyday convenience and secure parking — a feature that’s always in demand in the townhome category. Built in 2001 with stone-and-stucco exterior, double-pane windows, and full landscaping maintained by the HOA, this home was set up for easy ownership from day one.

Students in this part of West Valley City are assigned to Wright Elementary, Matheson Junior High, and Cyprus High School — all part of the Granite School District. You can browse other active listings on our West Valley City 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. Even on an entry-level townhome, that listing-side fee adds up to thousands of dollars out of the seller’s proceeds. 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 particular transaction, the seller was a past client of ours and qualified for an even more aggressive savings structure — our flat-fee listing program, which is offered exclusively to repeat clients as a thank-you for their continued trust. That program replaces the percentage-based listing commission with a single flat fee, which on this sale came out to approximately $6,500 in total seller savings at closing.

The service level didn’t change. The home was professionally photographed, syndicated across the MLS and major real estate portals, strategically priced based on live comparable data, and actively marketed through a longer-than-average listing period until the right buyer came along. It went under contract 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.

About West Valley City & the Hunter Village Area

West Valley City is Utah’s second-largest city and one of the most accessible, value-oriented markets along the Wasatch Front. Centrally located in the Salt Lake Valley, it offers quick freeway access via I-215 and Bangerter Highway, a short commute to downtown Salt Lake City and the airport, and a strong mix of entertainment and amenities — from the Maverik Center and Hale Centre Theatre to Valley Fair Mall and an extensive parks system. For buyers seeking attainable homeownership in the valley, West Valley City consistently delivers more square footage and community amenities per dollar than many neighboring areas.

The Hunter area on the city’s west side is a well-established residential community anchored by good freeway access and amenity-rich neighborhoods like Towns At Hunter Village. Townhome communities here are especially popular with first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors because the HOA-maintained exteriors and shared amenities — pool, clubhouse, gym, and playground — keep ownership simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reduced listing commission, and how does it work?
+

A reduced listing commission means the seller pays a lower percentage to the listing brokerage than the traditional 3% most agents charge. At DiscountAgent.com, our standard seller program is 1.5% on the listing side — a full 50% discount compared to the traditional rate — while still providing full MLS marketing, professional photography, pricing strategy, negotiation, and closing coordination. The buyer-side commission is negotiated separately and is not affected.

What is the flat-fee listing program mentioned in this post?
+

Our flat-fee listing program is a deeper discount available exclusively to past DiscountAgent.com clients as a thank-you for their repeat business. It replaces the percentage-based listing commission with a single flat fee. This program is not offered to the general public. Sellers who aren’t past clients still qualify for our standard 1.5% listing program, which typically saves thousands compared to a traditional 3% listing. You can see how our full-service model compares to limited-service options on our DiscountAgent vs. Flat Fee Group page.

Do I give up service quality when I pay a lower listing commission?
+

No — our reduced-commission sellers receive the same full-service representation any traditional listing would get. That includes professional photography, strategic pricing analysis from live comparable data, MLS listing and portal syndication, offer negotiation, contract management, inspection coordination, and guidance through closing. The savings come from an efficient business model, not from cutting services.

What does the Towns At Hunter Village HOA cover?
+

The Towns At Hunter Village HOA on this property was $355 per month and covered an unusually broad set of amenities and services. Based on the MLS, that included the clubhouse, gym room, swimming pool, picnic area, and playground, plus insurance, exterior maintenance, snow removal, trash, sewer, and water. For many buyers, an amenity-rich HOA like this actually simplifies budgeting because several monthly utilities and services are bundled into one payment. HOA terms can change over time, so any prospective buyer or seller should request the current governing documents and dues schedule directly from the HOA.

What schools serve the 6866 W Ashby Way area?
+

This home was assigned to Wright Elementary, Matheson Junior High, and Cyprus High School — all part of the Granite School District. Wright Elementary is one of the district’s designated STEM schools. School boundaries can shift between school years, so any buyer moving in should verify their specific address through the district’s online boundary lookup tool. Each school’s website is linked earlier in this post.

Is West Valley City a good place to sell a home right now?
+

Yes — West Valley City’s affordability and central valley location keep it in steady demand among first-time buyers, investors, and those priced out of pricier east-side neighborhoods. Townhomes with community amenities and HOA-maintained exteriors are especially popular here. As with any market, the keys to a successful sale are accurate pricing based on live comparable data, professional presentation, and a listing agent who markets aggressively and negotiates well — all of which are included in our reduced-commission program, even on entry-level price points.
