Bluffdale's median is down 11.5% over the past year, part of a broader cooling and repricing across the southwest valley after the rapid run-up of prior years. The long-term drivers here remain strong: a growing population, ongoing job creation at the Point of the Mountain and a limited amount of developable land. Aggregate figures on this page describe closed sales and are not a live feed. Treat any single year's change as a snapshot, not a forecast, and price an individual home against its own recent comparable sales.

Your Bluffdale Expert
I am Kris Bowen, a licensed real estate broker with LPT Realty, 23 years in Utah real estate and more than 1,000 closings across the Wasatch Front. I work Bluffdale in person, walking the acreage on the west side, the new builds at the Point and the estates on the east bench, and pricing each home against real comps rather than a single citywide average. Bluffdale's range is unusually wide, so that street-level read matters. You can reach me at 801-999-8005 or start a home search at zoomUTAH.com.

Buying a Home in Bluffdale
Buyers have a little more room to work with in Bluffdale than they did a couple of years ago. The median sale price year to date is $511,000, down 11.5% from a year earlier, while the average sale price of $670,209 sits well above that median because the city's larger custom and acreage homes pull the average upward. With 3.5 months of supply and homes closing at 98.1% of list price on average, this reads as a roughly balanced market that tilts slightly toward buyers, not the frenzied seller's market of the recent past. Ninety-four homes have sold so far this year and 63 are active right now, so inventory is real but not deep. Homes are averaging 50 days on market, which means well-priced listings still move while overpriced ones sit. That combination gives a prepared buyer negotiating leverage on price, repairs and closing costs, especially on homes that have been listed for a few weeks.
Bluffdale spans a wide price range. Attached homes and townhomes generally start under $425,000, entry-level single-family and newer townhomes cluster around the $425,000 to $550,000 band that straddles the $511,000 median, and newer detached homes on standard lots run roughly $550,000 to $800,000. Above $800,000 you move into acreage estates, horse property and custom builds on larger parcels, which is where much of that $670,209 average comes from. Deciding which tier fits your budget and your commute matters more here than in most valley cities because lot sizes and home styles vary so much block to block.

Selling a Home in Bluffdale
Sellers can still do well in Bluffdale, but pricing has to reflect where the market actually is. With the median down 11.5% year over year, 3.5 months of supply and an average of 50 days on market, this is not a list-it-and-name-your-number market. The homes that sell near that 98.1% sale-to-list ratio are the ones priced against recent, comparable closings from the start. Overpricing to test the market usually backfires: the listing goes stale, then sells for less after a price cut. Presentation, professional photography and correct pricing in the first two weeks are what protect your net.
The most common mistake is anchoring to a neighbor's 2022 or 2023 sale price and ignoring the 11.5% year-over-year decline in the median. The second is pricing a standard-lot home off the $670,209 average, which is skewed by acreage estates and does not describe a typical property. The third is skimping on prep and photos in a market where buyers have 63 active listings to compare against and homes average 50 days to sell. Get the price and the presentation right up front and you avoid the price-drop spiral.

New Construction in Bluffdale
New construction is central to Bluffdale's story. Master-planned communities at and near the Point of the Mountain, most visibly Independence at the Point, are adding single-family homes, townhomes and apartments on land that was farm ground a decade ago. Builder incentives, rate buydowns and spec-home discounts are common right now, and they are worth comparing carefully against resale homes, which often sit on larger, more established lots. A build also comes with timeline risk and upgrade pricing that is easy to underestimate. Having someone review the builder contract and comps before you sign protects you, since the on-site agent represents the builder, not you.
Relocating to Bluffdale?
Buying from out of state, made simple
Relocating to Bluffdale, often for a job in the Silicon Slopes tech corridor, comes with choices most newcomers do not see from out of state: acreage and horse property on the west side, brand-new low-maintenance homes at the Point, and standard-lot subdivisions in between, each with different taxes, commutes and school boundaries. I help relocating buyers weigh those trade-offs against commute times and budget before they fly out, then tour efficiently once they arrive. Call or text 801-999-8005 and search homes at zoomUTAH.com.

-
What is Bluffdale known for?
It is known for its blend of rural acreage and horse property with fast-growing new communities at the Point of the Mountain, along with easy access to both the Salt Lake and Utah County job markets. Wardle Fields Regional Park is a signature local landmark. -
What is there to do outdoors?
Wardle Fields Regional Park is the centerpiece, an 80-acre park with a large playground, splash pad, 16 pickleball courts, an artificial bouldering wall, zip lines and a walking loop. The city maintains roughly 60 acres of parkland across nine sites, and the Jordan River Parkway trail and nearby foothills add more room to ride, run and ride horses. -
Where do people shop and eat?
Day-to-day shopping is close by along the Bangerter Highway and Redwood Road corridors and in neighboring Riverton and Draper, with big-box retail, restaurants and grocery within a short drive. Larger shopping and dining hubs sit minutes away in Draper and at The District in South Jordan. -
What is the commute like?
Bluffdale sits right at the Point of the Mountain, so tech jobs in the Silicon Slopes corridor are only about ten minutes away, and downtown Salt Lake City is roughly a half-hour drive up I-15. The trade-off is that the I-15 corridor through the Point is congested at peak hours, so timing matters.

Crime and Safety in Bluffdale
Based on 2024 FBI Uniform Crime Reporting figures, Bluffdale sees roughly 1.8 violent crimes and about 7 property crimes per 1,000 residents per year.
Reported incidents per 1,000 residents (lower is better)
Figures are from 2024 UCR reporting, the latest full year available, and one local source noted Bluffdale's overall reported crime rose about 32% from 2023, so a single year should not be read as a trend. Crime also varies block by block within any city. Use these numbers as a starting point and look at the specific street and neighborhood for any home you are considering.

What is the median home price in Bluffdale?
The median sale price year to date is $511,000, down 11.5% from a year earlier. The average sale price is higher at $670,209 because Bluffdale's larger acreage and custom homes pull the average up above the typical sale.

-
How long do homes take to sell?
Homes are averaging 50 days on market year to date. Correctly priced, well-presented listings tend to move faster than that, while overpriced homes sit longer and often sell after a price cut.
-
What does it cost to buy the median home?
On a $511,000 home with 20% down and a rate near 6.8%, the monthly principal, interest, property taxes and insurance land around $3,050. That generally calls for a household income in the neighborhood of $130,000. This is an illustrative estimate, not a lending offer, and your actual numbers depend on your rate, taxes, insurance and down payment.
-
What are property taxes like?
Utah gives owner-occupied primary residences a 45% exemption, so the effective rate on a primary home runs about 0.6%. On Bluffdale's $511,000 median, that is roughly $3,070 per year. A home held as a second home or rental is taxed on the full value and costs more.
