What Kearns homeowners should know
Kearns started as Kearns Army Air Base, established in 1942, and after the Air Force deactivated the base in 1946, houses and businesses went up quickly on what had recently been farmland, often reusing the old streets and building foundations left by the military. That made Kearns the first suburb in Salt Lake County, and a large share of its housing dates from that late-1940s and 1950s postwar building boom. Like Magna, Kearns operated as a metro township under Salt Lake County before officially incorporating as its own city in May 2024. Because so much of the city was built in a short window right after the war, original electrical, plumbing and roofing are common across many Kearns homes today.

Why Kearns owners sell as-is
Postwar housing needing updates
Much of Kearns was built in the late 1940s and 1950s right after the Army Air Base closed, so a large share of the city’s homes are now 70 to 80 years old. Original electrical panels, older plumbing and aging roofs are common, and updating them can be costly for a traditional sale.
Basement moisture and radon in older homes
Older Kearns homes with finished or partly finished basements can develop moisture issues over time, and radon is a known concern across the Salt Lake Valley. These commonly come up during a traditional sale’s inspection but don’t need to be resolved for an as-is sale.
Rising property values increasing tax bills
Kearns home values have risen along with the rest of the Wasatch Front, pushing up assessed values and property tax bills for long-time owners. For some, particularly those on a fixed income, that’s part of why they’re considering selling rather than continuing to absorb higher costs.

Selling a house for cash in Kearns
Why is so much of Kearns’ housing from the same era?
Kearns was built almost entirely on the site of a former Army Air Base after it closed in 1946, with houses going up quickly on the old military streets and foundations. That makes it the first suburb in Salt Lake County, and it’s why so much of the city’s housing dates from that late-1940s and 1950s postwar period.
Is Kearns a city now?
Yes. Kearns was a metro township, a form of local government under Salt Lake County, before it officially incorporated as its own city in May 2024.
Where is probate or foreclosure handled for a Kearns property?
Kearns is in Salt Lake County, so probate cases are filed in the Third District Court. Most Utah foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales handled outside of court, and Salt Lake County runs its own annual May tax sale for long-delinquent properties.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Kearns?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
