Homes in the Jordan boundary

Homes feeding Jordan sit in central and historic Sandy, generally more attainable than the city’s east bench. As of mid 2026, Sandy’s citywide median ran in the $700,000s, and the Jordan area tends to hold a good share of homes below that:

• Entry level: older homes, townhomes, and condos from the $400,000s
• Typical: established single-family homes in the $500,000s to $600,000s
• Upper end: larger and updated homes into the $700,000s and above
