New Listings in Kearns, Utah

Kearns typically sees a steady trickle of new listings year-round, with the heaviest volume hitting between April and July. Because the inventory here moves quickly under $500K, fresh listings often go under contract within a week or two. Checking back every few days is the most realistic way to catch something before it's gone.

The bulk of new activity sits between the mid $400s and low $600s for single-family homes, with townhomes and condos showing up in the $300s. Original 1950s-60s ramblers on larger lots tend to price lower, while updated homes near 5400 South or backing the Oquirrh Park area push toward the top of that range.

Almost all of it is resale. Kearns was largely built out during the post-war boom as wartime housing for the Kearns Army Air Base, so new construction is rare and usually limited to infill lots or rebuilds. Buyers looking for true new builds typically have to head west to Magna or south toward Herriman.

Move-in-ready homes priced correctly often see offers within 3-7 days, and well-priced starter homes under $450K can draw multiple offers the first weekend. Homes needing significant work sit longer, especially if they have older roofs, original electrical, or knob-and-tube wiring still in place.

Many homes here are 60-70 years old, so check the age of the furnace, roof, sewer line, and electrical panel. Original Kearns homes often had shallow basements and small footprints that have been added onto over the decades — confirm any additions were permitted with Salt Lake County. A sewer scope is money well spent given the age of the clay lines in this area.

Yes. Set up a saved search with your criteria and the system will email you as soon as a matching listing goes active on the Wasatch Front MLS. That's the realistic way to compete in Kearns, since waiting for the weekend open house usually means the home already has offers in hand.
