What Sandy 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: $660,000. 327 homes for sale. Year-over-year compares October 2026 with the same month last year.
Are Sandy home prices dropping?
The median sale price is down about 10.4% 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. Buyers have more choice than they did, so pricing correctly from the first day matters more than it used to. Homes that start too high tend to take a reduction later.
Is Sandy a buyer's or seller's market?
With about 5.4 months of supply, the market is roughly balanced. Under about four months usually favors sellers; over six favors buyers. Homes are closing at about 98.3% 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 Sandy

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 Sandy
Sandy began as a supply town for the silver mines in Little Cottonwood Canyon and grew into one of the Salt Lake Valley's largest cities, with about 92,400 residents. It sits at the base of the Wasatch with quick access to the Cottonwood canyons, four TRAX Blue Line stations, America First Field, the Mountain America Expo Center, Hale Centre Theatre, the city's River Oaks Golf Course and The Cairns, the city-center district taking shape between I-15 and TRAX.
Values in Sandy range widely. East-bench neighborhoods like Pepperwood and Willow Creek Estates sell in a much higher tier than established west-side neighborhoods like White City, and the city's condos and townhomes are a market of their own, as the neighborhood table above shows. Sandy's population has eased slightly in recent years, so buyers are mostly choosing among existing homes.
A CMA from a local agent matches your home with sales of the same type and on the same part of the bench, then adjusts for views, lot, basement finish, updates and any permitted accessory apartment.
From a person, not an algorithm
What you get with a free Sandy home valuation
A real comparative market analysis from a local agent, the same document we'd prepare for a client deciding whether to list.
Comparable sales
Recent closed sales and active listings near you in Sandy, 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 Sandy 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 Sandy, 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.
-

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 Sandy
National valuation tools treat a square foot the same everywhere. Buyers here don't. These are the details that most often separate two Sandy homes that look identical on paper.
East bench and canyon access
Homes higher on the east bench, close to the mouths of Little and Big Cottonwood canyons, with valley views, sell for more than similar homes on the valley floor. View quality changes street by street. Compare current homes with views.
Accessory apartments
Sandy allows one accessory apartment inside or attached to an owner-occupied home, such as a finished basement, with a city permit, off-street parking and rentals of 30 days or more. The permit ends when the home sells, so a buyer has to apply again. State rules on detached units changed in 2026, so check Sandy's current code before counting on one.
Short-term rentals
Sandy requires a business license for short-term rentals, and a home can't run an accessory apartment and a short-term rental at the same time. Check the zoning and current rules before pricing a home on nightly income.
Established homes and updates
Much of Sandy was built in the 1970s through the 1990s. Updated kitchens and baths, newer windows, roofs and furnaces set the top of the range, and documented work helps with buyers and appraisers.
TRAX and freeway access
Homes near the Blue Line stations and I-15, without backing onto them, appeal to commuters. Sandy has no FrontRunner station; the nearest is in South Jordan.
Condos and townhomes
Sandy's condo and townhome communities are priced against each other, with HOA dues and amenities part of the comparison, and they sell to a different buyer than single-family homes. See current townhomes.
Earthquake country
Sandy sits along the Wasatch Front, and the city publishes shaking and liquefaction maps. Some buyers ask about earthquake coverage and retrofits, so have answers ready.
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 Sandy 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.
