What does a home in Salt Lake City cost?
Short answerThe Census puts the typical Salt Lake City home value at about $539,500. That is what owners say their homes are worth, not a sale price. About 54 percent of homes here are rented.
My market reports cover Southern Utah. For Salt Lake City, these numbers come from public records: the U.S. Census and the Utah State Tax Commission. They move slower than sale prices, but anyone can check them.
Salt Lake City is a city of many kinds of homes. About 43 percent are houses on their own lots. About 41 percent are in buildings of five or more homes. More homes are rented than owned, about 54 percent rented, while the county as a whole is about 66 percent owned. The homes are old: the median was built in 1965, and only about 4 percent have gone up since 2020. So one average mixes a downtown condo, a brick bungalow on the west side and a period home on the east hillside, and they do not move together.

If you are buying
Price a home against recent sales of homes like it nearby, not against the Census figure. Know the kind of home. A downtown condo building may be mostly rented out, and condo projects have loan rules that can decide if a unit qualifies. In the higher priced parts of town, ask a lender early about a jumbo loan. Be ready to act on a well priced home, but never let anyone rush you.
If you are selling
Who buys depends on the kind of home and the part of town. A downtown condo sells against the other units on the market. A bungalow sells on its condition and its block. An east hillside home sells on its lot and its view. Inside a local historic district, buyers will ask what they may change outside. On an old brick home, they will ask about the walls and any retrofit. Start with what homes like yours sold for in the last few months.
What is my home worth?I am licensed in both real estate and lending. On any one purchase I take one role. If I am your lender, I can tell you early if a home could be hard to get a loan on. You are always free to choose your own agent and your own lender. The full explanation is on How I Work.

What makes the Salt Lake City market different?
Short answerMore renters than owners, old brick homes and little open land set this market apart. A climb of about 1,200 feet from west to east does the rest.
By the Census measure, Salt Lake City sits in the middle of these five towns. South Salt Lake, just south, costs less. Millcreek, Cottonwood Heights and Holladay, to the southeast, cost more.

More renters than owners
About 54 percent of occupied homes are rented and 46 percent are owned. The county is about 66 percent owned. Ask of each building: is it a home people own, or one that is mostly rented out?
Old homes, and old brick
The median home was built in 1965, and about one in four was built in 1939 or earlier. Many older brick houses have walls with no steel in them. Ask the inspector about the walls and any past retrofit.
Historic district rules
The city has nine local historic districts, including the Avenues, Capitol Hill and Yalecrest. Inside one, outside changes, additions and demolitions need city approval first. Call the Historic Preservation Office at (801) 535-7700 about any address.
Little open land
No builder opens a new subdivision of houses here. New homes come as downtown towers, most of them rentals, single houses on small or split lots, and city-led projects with no finish date. For-sale condos are fewer than the skyline suggests.
A city that climbs
The ground is about 4,210 feet on the flat west side, about 4,300 downtown and about 5,400 at the top of the Avenues. The east hillside has cooler nights, a later spring and more snow, and its steep streets are harder in ice.
The grid tells you where a home is
Every address counts out from the southeast corner of Temple Square. 1300 South 900 East is 13 blocks south and 9 east. Each hundred is about an eighth of a mile.

Which parts of Salt Lake City should I look at first?
Short answerSalt Lake City sorts itself by council district and by the street grid. Pick the part of town you like, then use the map view to find homes there.
Rose Park, Jordan Meadows and Westpointe
The flattest ground in the city, west of I-15 and north of I-80. Rose Park is mostly houses built after World War II, and some streets curve. Westpointe sits at the far northwest edge, near the airport.
Fairpark, Poplar Grove and Glendale
West of the rail line, on low ground by the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Poplar Grove is the city's second largest neighborhood, with older and mid-century homes. Ask for a soils report here.
Downtown
Condos, apartments and new towers, with Salt Lake Central, TRAX and FrontRunner close by. Temple Square and City Creek are within about 5 minutes. Most new towers are rentals.
The Avenues, Capitol Hill and Federal Heights
The Avenues began in the 1850s on their own smaller grid, with Victorian and Craftsman houses. Capitol Hill is the oldest surviving residential area. Federal Heights has Tudor and revival homes from the early 1900s.
Central City and East Central
Older houses, small apartment buildings and newer small projects between State Street and 1400 East. Liberty Park is here, and the University is a short drive east.
Liberty Wells, Central Ninth and 9th and 9th
Liberty Wells is mostly brick bungalows from the 1910s to the 1930s. Central Ninth was rezoned in 2013 for mixed-use buildings and small homes. 9th and 9th has small shops and cafes.
Yalecrest, Bonneville Hills and the Foothill area
Yalecrest has about 1,500 buildings, most of them period revival homes from 1920 to 1940. Bonneville Hills has many ranch style homes. The Foothill area has large lots near Bonneville Golf Course.
Sugar House
From about 500 East to Foothill Drive and 2100 South to about 2900 South. The business center at 2100 South and 1100 East mixes older storefronts with newer mid-rise buildings. Sugar House Park and the S-Line streetcar are here.

Shop by home type
What kind of home are you looking for?
Short answerSome searches are about the house, not the part of town. Each link below is its own page, with a short local guide and the live listings that match.
Homes with a basement
Read each listing for how much of the lower level is finished. Have the inspector check for water and, on an old brick home, the walls.
See the listingsSingle-story homes
The Salt Lake bungalow is mostly one or one and a half stories of brick. Bonneville Hills has many ranch style homes, and Rose Park is mostly houses built after World War II.
See the listingsTownhomes
About 4 percent of homes here are townhomes or other attached homes. Look downtown and in Central Ninth. A condo or townhome project has its own loan rules. Read the CC&Rs before your deadline.
See the listingsNew construction
There is little open land, so new homes are mostly downtown towers, new houses on single lots, and city-led projects with no finish date. Builders often cover the buyer agent fee, and your agent puts that in writing before you sign.
See the listingsTwo-story homes
The Victorian houses of the Avenues and the period homes on the east side. New houses also go up where an old one comes down or a lot is split.
See the listingsADU and casita homes
An accessory dwelling unit is a small second home on the same lot. Call the city first and confirm the permit before you count on it.
See the listingsMountain view homes
East hillside homes look back over the valley, and the Avenues climb past 5,000 feet. Federal Heights and the Foothill area sit up against the foothills.
See the listingsLuxury homes
The highest prices are on the east hillside, on large lots near the University. Look too at the revival homes of Yalecrest and Federal Heights. Ask a lender early about a jumbo loan. This page often has few homes on it.

FAQ
Questions people ask about Salt Lake City listings
They come from the local MLS feed and update through the day. New Salt Lake City listings show up the day they go on the market. Homes that sell or go under contract drop off. It is the same data agents use.
Yes. It shows listings from every brokerage that takes part in the MLS, not just the homes one office has listed.
No. You can look at every listing without one. A free account is for when you want the site to keep watch for you.
You can save the homes you like and save your searches. You get an email when a new home fits your search or a price changes. You pick how often the emails come, and you can stop them any time.
The U.S. Census puts the typical Salt Lake City home value at about $539,500 (ACS 2020 to 2024). That is what owners say their homes are worth, averaged over five years, not a sale price. It covers a downtown condo, a west side house, a bungalow in the central blocks, and east hillside homes above it. Prices move, so check it against the live listings.
My base is Southern Utah. For a Salt Lake City move, I connect you with a partner agent I trust in the Salt Lake Valley for the showings, the offer and the closing. I stay on your file for the homework and the loan side. If you work with an agent I refer, that agent's brokerage pays my brokerage a referral fee out of the agent's pay. It is not an added cost to you, and you are always free to choose any agent.
Not to look, and not to talk with me. You will want one before you write an offer. A pre-approval is a lender's letter that says how much you can borrow. Sellers take it seriously, and it settles your real budget. The pre-approval guide shows how it works. In the higher priced parts of town, ask early about a jumbo loan. The conforming and jumbo guide explains the difference.
List it with the partner agent I connect you with in the Salt Lake Valley, and your home gets featured on MovingUtah. The get featured page shows how that works. A home valuation is a good first step.
It is the land and the history. A rail line built in the 1870s and I-15, built from about 1959 to 1964, form a line on the ground. West of it is the lowest, flattest land, and crossings toward downtown are few. The west side is mostly houses, many built after World War II, and they have generally been the lowest priced detached homes. The east hillside has larger lots near the University and views. These are general patterns, so check recent sales for the block.
It depends on the address. Salt Lake City has nine local historic districts, including the Avenues, Capitol Hill and Yalecrest. Inside one, outside changes, additions and demolitions need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city first. A National Register listing alone does not trigger city review. Gilmer Park, for one, is on the National Register only. Ask the Historic Preservation Office, (801) 535-7700, about the address.
