New construction in Salt Lake County, explained
New construction across Salt Lake County is spread over dozens of separate builder sites, each with its own prices, plans, and release schedules. There is no single public list, which is why comparing communities is harder than it should be.
The scale of it: a survey of public builder and community listings found roughly 57 active communities from about 12 builders across 16 cities in the county, running from about $345,000 to $2.9 million depending on the city, builder, home size, and lot.
Kris tracks these communities directly with the builders. Tell him the cities or price range you are considering and he will send the current list, including homes that are released but not yet advertised.
Community counts and price ranges reflect a survey of public builder listings and change constantly. Confirm current availability and pricing with the builder or with Kris before you plan around any number here.
