Taylorsville's median sale price is up 7.7% over the past year to $490,000, a real and sustained gain rather than a short-term spike. As a built-out, centrally located city with limited new supply, it tends to hold value steadily through cycles; the tight 2.5 months of inventory and 99% sale-to-list ratio point to continued firmness rather than a coming correction. Comparison-city prices are approximate and shown for context only.

Buying a Home in Taylorsville
Buyers in Taylorsville are working a market where the median sale price is $490,000, up 7.7% over the past year, with the average sale landing at $484,881. That price growth is real, not a blip, so waiting for a pullback has mostly cost people money here. Supply is tight at 2.5 months, and homes are going for about 99% of asking in the current month, which tells you sellers still hold the edge on well-priced, move-in-ready listings. With 136 active listings and 276 homes sold so far this year, there is genuine choice across price points, but the clean, updated homes move quickly and often see competition. The upside for buyers is that Taylorsville remains one of the more attainable central-valley options: you get established neighborhoods, larger lots than newer suburbs, and a 15 to 20 minute drive downtown without paying an east-bench premium. My advice is to get fully underwritten before you shop, know your true monthly number, and be ready to write cleanly when the right home lands.
At the entry end, roughly $350,000 to $440,000, you are looking at older ramblers, split-entries, townhomes, and condos, often with cosmetic updates left to do. The $440,000 to $520,000 band is where the $490,000 median lives: solid single-level and split-level homes on real lots, many already updated. Move above $520,000 and you find larger two-story and newer homes with more square footage and garage space. The top of the market, $650,000 and up, is the newest construction and the largest, most improved homes, some backing to the Jordan River corridor. Because the same dollar buys very different homes across this range, walking comps in person matters more than any citywide average.

Selling a Home in Taylorsville
Sellers are listing into a favorable but not frantic market. The median sale price is $490,000, up 7.7% year over year, and homes are closing at about 99% of list in the current month, so a correctly priced home with good presentation is getting close to full ask. With 2.5 months of supply, inventory is on your side, but the average home still takes about 51 days from list to sale, which means pricing and prep decide whether you land near the top of your range or chase the market down. Buyers today are comparing your home against 136 active listings, and they reward the ones that show clean, smell neutral, and photograph well. I price against in-person comps within your specific pocket of the city, not a blended citywide number, because a Bennion rambler and a newer two-story near the river do not trade the same.
The most common mistake here is overpricing on the first week of listing, betting the 7.7% appreciation will bail out an aggressive number. It usually does the opposite: the home sits, the days-on-market clock ticks past that 51-day average, and the eventual sale comes in under where a sharp launch price would have landed. The second mistake is skipping basic prep, decluttering, paint, minor repairs, and real photography, in a market where buyers are cross-shopping over a hundred other homes. The third is reading the 99% sale-to-list figure as a license to ignore condition; that number reflects homes that were priced and presented well, not every listing.

New Construction in Taylorsville
Taylorsville is essentially built out, so true new construction is limited compared with West Jordan or the far southwest valley. What you do see is infill: a scattered new home on a split lot, teardown-and-rebuilds, and the occasional small development. Most buyers here are choosing among established homes from the 1960s through the 1990s, which is where the value and the larger lots are. If you specifically want a brand-new home, I will usually point you to nearby communities, but if you want space, central access, and a mature neighborhood, the resale stock in Taylorsville is the story.

- Best value per square foot Established homes on larger lots keep Taylorsville among the more attainable central-valley options, with the entry tier starting in the $350,000s.

What is there to do in Taylorsville?
The centerpiece is the 89-acre Valley Regional Park, with a softball complex, disc golf, an exercise track, playgrounds, and a pool, sitting next to the Taylorsville Recreation Center and county library. Millrace Park is known for pickleball courts and an off-leash dog park, and the Jordan River Parkway runs through the city with miles of paved walking and biking trail. -
How is the shopping and dining?
Everyday shopping is easy along Redwood Road and 5400 South, with grocery, big-box, and local restaurants close at hand, and Valley Fair Mall in neighboring West Valley City just minutes away. The city is a practical, well-served central-valley location rather than a boutique district. -

Taylorsville is one of the more central places to live in the valley. I-215 and I-15 are both minutes away, putting downtown Salt Lake City about 15 to 20 minutes out and the airport a short hop via I-215. Bangerter Highway and the 5400 South interchange give quick access south and west.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is Taylorsville a buyer's or seller's market right now?
It leans toward sellers, but not aggressively. Supply is tight at 2.5 months, homes are selling at about 99% of list in the current month, and the median price is up 7.7% year over year to $490,000. That said, the average home still takes about 51 days to sell, so buyers who prepare have real negotiating room on homes that need work or have been sitting.
-
What is the median home price in Taylorsville?
The median sale price so far this year is $490,000, up 7.7% from a year ago, and the average sale price is $484,881 across 276 homes sold. Actual value depends heavily on the specific neighborhood, lot, and condition.
-
How much are property taxes on a Taylorsville home?
Utah gives primary residences a 45% exemption, so the effective rate is roughly 0.6%. On the $490,000 median home, that is about $2,950 a year. A second home or rental without the exemption would owe closer to double that. This is an illustrative estimate, not a lending or tax offer.
-
What would it cost per month to buy the median home?
On a $490,000 home with 20% down and a rate near 6.8%, principal and interest run about $2,555 a month. Add roughly $245 for taxes and about $110 for insurance and you are near $2,910 a month all in, which generally calls for a household income in the neighborhood of $125,000. This is an illustrative estimate, not a lending offer; your real number depends on your rate, down payment, and credit.
-
How long do homes take to sell here?
The average is about 51 days from list to closing so far this year, though clean, well-priced, move-in-ready homes routinely go faster and can draw multiple offers.
-
Are there new-construction homes in Taylorsville?
Very few. The city is essentially built out, so most buyers are choosing among established resale homes with larger lots. If new construction is a must, I will usually point you to nearby communities while keeping the central location you want.
