New homes in Salem, Utah.

Many Salem listings are lots, not addresses. Pin that down first.

Several builders list Salem homes by plan and lot number without a street address. That is normal for homes still being built, but it means the lot, plan and elevation have to be matched carefully in every document. No Salem community in our collection states its HOA dues on the builder's page, so ask for the current HOA budget and what it covers.

Questions to take to the builder

• What is the street address for this lot, or when will one be assigned?
• What are the HOA dues and what do they cover?
• Which plan and elevation does the price include, and what would the pictured home cost?

Ask for written answers tied to the specific home. We have not independently verified the missing costs or promised a closing date.
