Market conditions, June 2026
Source: UtahRealEstate.com / RapidStats MLS data. Median figures are all residential property types (single-family, townhouse, and condo), 2026 year-to-date; market-condition figures reflect June 2026. Data deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Market data powered by zoomUTAH.com.
One important distinction: the median above is the typical sale price, not appreciation. By repeat-sale index (Zillow and Redfin), Salt Lake County home values have risen roughly 1 to 2 percent year over year, far more modest than the double-digit frenzy years. A rising median can simply mean more expensive homes sold, so we always look at both.

Your South Jordan Expert
I work the South Jordan market constantly, walk these neighborhoods, and price homes against comps I have seen in person, not a citywide average. Twenty-three years and more than 1,000 Utah closings stand behind every move, whether you are relocating here or already local.

He has been very attentive working around our schedules, providing feedback and helping us improve on each offer. We cannot thank him enough for being such a great realtor.”

Buying a Home in South Jordan
South Jordan gives buyers unusual range. You can find an updated 1980s rambler in the older east-side grid, a low-maintenance townhome in The District, a new build in the southwest growth corridor, or a lakeside Daybreak home on Oquirrh Lake. With inventory near 2.6 months and homes selling just under asking, well-prepared buyers have room to negotiate that did not exist a few years ago.
What your money buys right now: under $500,000 tends to be an older rambler or a smaller townhome; the mid-$500s to high-$600s covers most newer townhomes and mid-size single-family homes, including much of Daybreak; $800,000 and up moves you into larger and premium homes, with the luxury tier running past $2 million along the west bench.

Selling a Home in South Jordan
With prices flat, you cannot count on the market to lift your number the way it did a few years ago, so pricing is everything. Buyers are active and well-priced homes clear in about five weeks, but overpriced homes sit and then chase the market down. The single biggest mistake we see is pricing off the citywide median: in a market this neighborhood-specific, a South Jordan median tells you almost nothing about your street. We price against in-person comps and stage to the buyer most likely to write on your home.
Common mistakes South Jordan sellers make: overpricing on last year’s comps, skipping pre-list prep in a market where buyers are choosier, ignoring the Daybreak-versus-east-side pricing gap, and listing without a plan for the two-to-three weeks when most showings happen.

New Construction in South Jordan
South Jordan is one of the most active new-construction markets on the Wasatch Front, with new homes going up across Daybreak and the Mountain View Corridor, from townhomes to large single-family homes. Buying new is not the same as buying a resale: builder contracts, upgrade and lot-premium decisions, financing incentives, and walk-through inspections all go better with your own representation, and it typically costs you nothing because the builder pays the buyer’s agent. Kris represents buyers on new-construction purchases across South Jordan and can compare communities, builders, and floor plans side by side.

What does it cost to own a home in South Jordan?
Utah has some of the lowest effective property taxes in the country. Primary residences get a 45% exemption, so you are taxed on just 55% of value, which works out to roughly 0.6% effective, or about $3,700 a year on the typical $625,000 South Jordan home. Affordability snapshot: at today’s rates (~6.8%), buying the typical $625,000 home with 20% down (about $125,000) runs roughly $3,700 a month in principal, interest, taxes, and insurance, which generally calls for around $150,000 in household income. This is an illustrative estimate, not a lending offer. -
How are the commute times from South Jordan?
South Jordan sits right on I-15 with fast access to the Mountain View Corridor and Bangerter Highway. Downtown Salt Lake City is about 20 to 25 minutes, the airport about 25 minutes, the Silicon Slopes / Lehi tech corridor about 20 minutes, and Provo about 35 minutes. Transit: the TRAX Red Line serves Daybreak and FrontRunner stops at the South Jordan station, both options for a car-free commute. -
HOAs, renting, and investing in South Jordan
HOAs: Daybreak and most newer master-planned communities have an HOA (commonly ~$100 to $150/month) that funds the trails, pools, parks, and events people move here for; many older east-side neighborhoods have no HOA. Renting & investing: median rent runs about $2,350/month across home types, with steady demand and low vacancy thanks to the tech workforce and school quality, which makes South Jordan a solid long-term buy-and-hold market. -
Parks, recreation, and amenities
South Jordan is built around outdoor and family amenities: Oquirrh Lake in Daybreak (beaches, paddleboarding, lakeside trails), SoDa Row shops and restaurants, The District (major shopping, dining, a Megaplex theater), Bingham Creek Regional Park and the Jordan River Parkway trail, Mulligans golf, and the Gale Center of History & Culture.
