Selling Your Home in The Avenues
A weekly update every Friday, so you never wonder where your sale stands.
Selling in The Avenues, What You Get
The Avenues carries a genuine mix of century-old historic homes and new teardown-and-rebuild construction, often on the same block, and those two kinds of properties are priced from entirely different comparables. Getting that wrong in either direction costs real money.
What you get is pricing built from the comparables that actually apply to your specific home, marketing that highlights what makes it distinct, historic character or genuine new construction, and a personal update every Friday for as long as it takes.
Talk to Delia About Selling in the Avenues
Why Avenues Sellers Choose Delia Bayna
Delia prices every Avenues listing from real, current sales, never a guess, and never a flat per-square-foot number that treats a historic home and a new build the same. As an SRES® and ABR®, she brings the same standard whether the sale is straightforward or part of a downsizing move.
Her own words describe how she works: "I am both direct and warm, educating my clients with the truth they need to hear, not what they want to hear."
Our Selling Process in The Avenues, What to Expect
Pricing starts with knowing whether your home competes as historic character or as new construction, since the Avenues genuinely supports both markets. From there, professional photography and marketing highlight what makes your specific property worth choosing, and you hear from Delia every Friday, whether there's news or not.

Local Context & Proof for The Avenues
Much of the Avenues sits inside the Avenues Historic District, and the neighborhood's real teardown-and-rebuild wave means genuinely new homes now sell alongside century-old ones. Explore the Avenues for the full picture.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you price a historic Avenues home against new construction nearby?
As two different markets. Delia prices each from the comparables that actually apply rather than a single average for the whole neighborhood.
Does my home need updating before it competes with the new builds?
Not necessarily. Historic character is its own selling point when it's marketed as one, and Delia will tell you honestly whether updating would actually help your price.
How often will I hear from you once my home is listed?
Every Friday, by call or email, whether there's news or not.
Can you help me sell and downsize into the Avenues at the same time?
Yes. See the <a href="/areas/the-avenues/downsizing">downsizing in the Avenues</a> page for how that's sequenced.
The Avenues
What selling your home looks like in The Avenues
A historic, prestigious Salt Lake City neighborhood where longtime owners downsize without leaving.
The Avenues is one of Salt Lake City's oldest neighborhoods, first surveyed in the 1850s, with a housing stock that runs from historic homes built around the turn of the 20th century to new construction replacing older teardowns today.
Delia is deeply connected in the Avenues and Capitol Hill area, not just as the agent who works here but as someone with real local ties.
- The homes
- A mix of historic homes, largely from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, much of it inside the Avenues Historic District (National Register, 1980), alongside a current wave of teardown-and-rebuild new construction as owners replace older houses with newer ones on the same lots.
- Why people choose it
- Longtime owners who bought decades ago, raised their families, and built their lives and their network in the neighborhood. Delia's current business here is largely downsizing sellers who want to stay in the Avenues rather than leave it, moving from a large longtime home into a townhome or condo within the same neighborhood.
- Schools people ask about
- Not a driving factor for Delia's clients here, since her Avenues business is almost entirely downsizers whose kids are already grown.
- Getting around
- Sits on the lower slopes of the Wasatch Mountains northeast of downtown, bordered by South Temple Street to the south and Capitol Hill just across City Creek Canyon to the west.
- Nearby
- The Utah Governor's Mansion (603 E South Temple), the Cathedral of the Madeleine, Salt Lake City Cemetery, 11th Avenue Park, and Lindsey Gardens. Close to downtown Salt Lake City.
