Salt Lake City, UT Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For
What homes actually sell for in Salt Lake City: a median closing price of $599,900 across 347 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the full price spread.
Salt Lake City produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.
The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 347
- •Median sold price, last 6 months: $599,900
- •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $390
- •Middle half of sales closed between: $424,950 and $850,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 347 closed sales in Salt Lake City over the last six months, with a median closing price of $599,900. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $424,950 and $850,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 344 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $317 and $467 per square foot.

The Salt Lake City angle
Salt Lake City asks for more care than most, because the two numbers point in opposite directions. Across 347 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $599,900, and the middle half of sales closed between $424,950 and $850,000, a quartile band close to typical for the markets we track. Lead with the single constraint that matters most for your subject, widen the date window before you widen the geography, and accept a wider range in your conclusion rather than manufacturing precision from three closings.
From market read to offer price
A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Salt Lake City address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
