South Jordan

The median sale price in South Jordan is about $640,000 as of August 2026, while the average sold price runs closer to $726,500. That gap comes from high-end sales in Daybreak and gated Glenmoor pulling the average up. Entry-level homes, mostly townhomes and older ramblers east of Redwood Road, start in the high $400,000s, while newer construction and custom homes regularly clear $900,000. Price per square foot varies more by neighborhood here than in most Salt Lake Valley cities, so two homes at the same asking price can be very different buys.

Yes, and the numbers back it up rather than just the marketing. South Jordan is served by Jordan School District with eight elementary schools, three middle schools, and Bingham High School, plus five charter options including Early Light Academy and American Academy of Innovation. Jordan Ridge Elementary rates a 10 out of 10 and Daybreak Elementary an 8. Add Bingham Creek Regional Park, the Jordan River Parkway Trail, and more than 30 parks inside Daybreak alone, and most families here can walk to a playground. There's a full guide to South Jordan schools here, boundary by boundary.

South Jordan sits 17 to 20 miles southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, which is a 20 to 30 minute drive outside of rush hour via I-15 or Bangerter Highway. If you work in the Silicon Slopes tech corridor in Lehi or Draper you are actually closer, at 15 to 20 minutes south. TRAX Red Line service runs from Daybreak Parkway and the newer South Jordan Downtown station all the way to downtown and the University of Utah, with a free 400-space park and ride at Daybreak Parkway.

South Jordan's effective property tax rate is about 0.56% of market value, which works out to roughly $3,600 a year on a $640,000 home. That is slightly below the Salt Lake County median of 0.57% and about half the national average of 1.02%. Utah's primary residential exemption is the reason: if the home is your primary residence, only 55% of its market value is taxed, so second homes and rentals in South Jordan pay noticeably more.

The best value is generally east of Redwood Road and in the older parts of the city between Redwood and Bangerter, where established homes on larger lots trade for less per square foot than new construction. Harvest Hills and Spring View Farms tend to price below Daybreak for comparable square footage, while Glenmoor and Riverfront sit at the top of the market. Locals think about South Jordan in three bands, east of Redwood, between Redwood and Bangerter, and west of Bangerter, and moving one band east is usually the fastest way to buy more house. I break this down further in my neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide.

Yes, South Jordan is one of the few Salt Lake Valley cities with a genuine long-term new-build pipeline. Daybreak spans more than 4,100 acres with 20% preserved as open space and is still years from buildout, and Downtown Daybreak alone is adding roughly 900 apartments, 100,000 square feet of office, and 75,000 square feet of retail on a 15-plus year timeline. That means buyers here can still choose between resale and new construction in the same price range, which is increasingly rare closer to Salt Lake City. Here is a closer look at Daybreak homes and market data.

The Ballpark at America First Square opened April 8, 2025 in Daybreak, an 8,000-seat, $140 million privately funded Triple-A stadium for the Salt Lake Bees. UTA added the South Jordan Downtown TRAX station to serve it, and the surrounding Downtown Daybreak district is being built out with housing, offices, restaurants, and retail. For homeowners, it turned the west side of South Jordan from a commuter suburb into a destination, which is a real factor in long-term value on that side of Bangerter.

South Jordan is a somewhat balanced market right now, not a seller's frenzy but not a buyer's market either. Homes are averaging 58 days on market, and with an average list price of $737,289 against an average sold price of $726,513, sellers are netting about 98.5% of asking across 127 recent sales. For sellers that means pricing right the first time matters, because two months on market is now normal rather than a warning sign. For buyers it means there is real room to negotiate and ask for concessions. Here is how to choose a South Jordan listing agent in a market like this.
