SANDY, Utah — The median price of a single-family home in Salt Lake County climbed to $645,000 in the second quarter of 2026, up 4.88% year over year, marking the highest quarterly median on record.
Among the five counties reviewed, the most expensive ZIP codes for single-family homes during the second quarter were:

The data show continued demand for single-family homes despite affordability challenges and elevated borrowing costs. New listings across all housing types in Salt Lake County increased 3.56% year over year, providing buyers with more choices. Homes also took slightly longer to sell, with average cumulative days on market increasing from 45 to 48 days.
Salt Lake County recorded 862 condominium sales during the quarter, up 4.11% from 828 a year earlier. However, the median condominium price fell 2.81%, from $430,000 to $417,900.
The combination of rising condominium sales and a lower median price may reflect buyers’ continued search for more affordable alternatives to single-family homes. At the countywide median, a condominium sold for approximately $227,000 less than a single-family home during the quarter.
