What Provo homes are actually selling for
The quickest way to sanity-check any number you've seen for your house is to look at what the market is doing now. These figures come from closed sales in the MLS and refresh automatically.
61 residential sales closed in October 2026. Typical asking price today: $470,000. 266 homes for sale. Year-over-year compares October 2026 with the same month last year.
Are Provo home prices dropping?
No. The median sale price is up about 17.2% from the same month a year ago. One month's median moves with whichever homes happened to sell, so read it as a direction, not a precise change for your home. Rising medians still don't lift every home equally, so your own comparable sales matter more than the citywide number.
Is Provo a buyer's or seller's market?
With about 4.4 months of supply, the market is roughly balanced. Under about four months usually favors sellers; over six favors buyers. Homes are closing at about 98.6% of list price, so most sellers are negotiating a little, not taking big cuts. The citywide number hides a lot. A move-in-ready home in a popular neighborhood can still draw quick offers while a dated one nearby waits, and that gap is what a home-by-home analysis is for.
Median sale prices by neighborhood in Provo
| Neighborhood | Median sale price | Homes sold | For sale now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grandview | $545,000 | 22 | 5 |
| Sherywood Hills | $965,000 | 11 | 7 |
| Independence Avenue | $385,000 | 9 | 3 |
| Willowbrook Hill | $270,000 | 9 | 5 |
| Westgate | $395,000 | 9 | 1 |
| Broadview Shores | $624,000 | 9 | 2 |
| Osprey Townhomes | $415,000 | 8 | 6 |
| Riderwood Village | $476,000 | 6 | 1 |
| Park Ridge | $360,000 | 6 | 2 |
| Indian Hills | $788,000 | 5 | 4 |
Closed residential sales over the last 12 months, from the MLS. Neighborhoods with fewer than five sales aren't shown. Area medians are a starting point, not an answer: two homes on the same street can sell far apart once size, lot, layout and condition are counted, and a median moves with whatever mix of homes happened to sell.
Selling a home in Provo
Provo, home to BYU and Utah County's largest city at about 115,000, sits between Utah Lake and the mouth of Provo Canyon. Its population has held about steady, and its housing market is shaped by the university as much as anything: student and rental demand near campus, established family neighborhoods on the north and east benches, and newer homes and townhomes on the west side toward the lake. FrontRunner, the UVX bus line, the Provo airport and quick canyon access round out the draw.
Values vary widely across the city. North-bench neighborhoods like Sherwood Hills and Indian Hills, central neighborhoods near campus and downtown, and west-side communities like Grandview and Lakeview sell to different buyers, as the neighborhood table above shows.
A CMA from a local agent matches your home with sales in the same part of Provo and of the same type, then adjusts for legal rental use, basement finish, updates, view and lot.
From a person, not an algorithm
What you get with a free Provo home valuation

Comparable sales
Recent closed sales and active listings near you in Provo, pulled from the same MLS data an appraiser will use.
A price range and a strategy
A realistic range with the reasoning behind it, and the trade-off between pricing to sell quickly and testing the top of the range.
A short consult
Phone, video or in person, your pick. A conversation about your timeline and options, with no obligation to list.
The method
How we figure out what your Provo home is worth
A comparative market analysis answers one question: what will a ready buyer pay for this home right now? It's the same way an appraiser will look at your home if the buyer finances the purchase.
-
1
Pull the right closed sales
Utah is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices aren't in public records. We start with closed MLS sales, ideally from your own neighborhood in Provo, from the last three to six months, and close to your home in size, age and style. In a slow pocket we look farther out or farther back, and we tell you when we did.
-
2
Adjust for what's different
No comparable sale is identical. We adjust each one for living area, basement finish, lot, garage, views, age and updates. A comp with a brand-new kitchen sold for more than a home without one will, and we account for it.
-
3
Read the competition
Closed sales show what happened. Active and pending listings show what a buyer will compare you with next weekend, and expired listings show the prices buyers turned down.
-
4
Land on a range, then a strategy
You get a realistic price range, a likely sale price and an expected time on market. Then we talk through how to use it, so you know the trade-off before you decide.
Local factors
What moves home values in Provo
National valuation tools treat a square foot the same everywhere. Buyers here don't. These are the details that most often separate two Provo homes that look identical on paper.
Rental licensing and occupancy
Provo requires a rental dwelling license whenever anyone other than the owner lives in a unit, and most single-family properties are limited to one family or three unrelated people. For investors, a home's legal rental use and occupancy are a big part of its value, so confirm them before pricing on rental income.
Accessory dwelling units
Provo allows ADUs in owner-occupied detached single-family homes in its ADU overlay, plus parcels that meet the state's detached-ADU criteria, with a rental dwelling license. The city was voting on updates to its ADU rules in November 2026, so check the current code.
No short-term rentals in residential zones
Short-term rentals aren't permitted in Provo's residential zones; they're allowed only in a few downtown and commercial zones with a business license. A home can't be priced on nightly income.
North and east bench views
Homes on the north and east benches, with valley and lake views and quick access to Rock Canyon and the Y trail, sell in a higher tier than similar homes on the valley floor.
Proximity to campus
Homes near BYU draw student and rental demand, while neighborhoods farther out appeal to buyers looking for quieter streets. The right comparables depend on which buyer your home will attract.
Established homes and updates
Much of central and north Provo was built decades ago. Updated kitchens and baths, newer windows, roofs and furnaces, and documented work set the top of the range.
City power and schools
Provo City Power, a municipal utility, provides electricity. Provo City School District serves the city, with Provo, Timpview and Independence high schools, and buyers check boundaries by address.
Know which number you're looking at
Online estimate, CMA or appraisal?
You can get a number for your house in ten seconds from Zillow, Redfin or Realtor.com, and it's a fine place to start. Just know what's behind it. Automated estimates read public records and listing data, and here they often can't see what homes actually sold for. They also can't see your remodeled kitchen, your finished basement or the view from your back patio.
| Online estimate | CMA from a local agent | Appraisal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who prepares it | An algorithm | A licensed agent who knows the area | A licensed appraiser |
| What it sees | Public records and listing data | MLS sales, current competition, your home's condition and updates | Closed sales and an inspection of the home |
| Cost | Free | Free | Usually several hundred dollars |
| Turnaround | Instant | Usually within one business day | About a week or more |
| Best for | A rough idea | Deciding whether, when and at what price to sell | A mortgage, refinance, estate or legal matter |
One more number you'll see is the county assessor's market value on your valuation notice. It's set as of January 1 for tax purposes, and a primary residence is taxed on 55% of it because of Utah's 45% residential exemption. It's useful, but it isn't a sale price, so don't price your home from your tax notice.
Before you list
Getting the most for your Provo home
The best return usually comes from the unglamorous work, not a rushed remodel.
- Service the HVAC. Inspectors check heating and cooling first. A recent service record makes buyers more confident.
- Clean up the outside. Trimmed trees, fresh mulch or rock and working sprinklers are a cheap way to improve the first photo.
- Paint and light. Fresh neutral paint and bright bulbs do more for photos and showings than almost anything else at the same cost.
- Fix the small items now. Leaky faucets, cracked tile and worn caulking show up in inspection reports and turn into repair requests.
- Gather your paperwork. HOA documents, any solar agreement, warranties, permits for a finished basement or addition, and records of upgrades answer buyer questions before they turn into negotiation.
- Skip the big remodel. A new kitchen right before listing rarely pays back in full. We'll tell you which updates are worth it for your price range.
Not selling yet? Other good reasons to know your value
Plenty of the valuations we prepare are for owners who aren't listing at all. Knowing what your home would sell for helps when you're:
- • Considering a refinance or HELOC, so you know roughly how much equity you have before a lender orders an appraisal.
- • Deciding whether to sell or rent it out, by putting the likely sale price next to what the home could rent for.
- • Handling an estate, a divorce or a relocation, where everyone needs a realistic number. A court or lender will usually still require a formal appraisal.
- • Planning a move up or down, so you can see what you could afford next before you start shopping.
