Homes Under $500,000 in Sandy, Utah
Sandy's median home price has climbed well past $550K in recent years, which pushes the under-$500K segment toward the city's older neighborhoods and its condo and townhome stock rather than new construction. Look at areas like South Sandy near 11400 South, pockets of Crescent, and the townhome communities off 700 East and near the Alta Canyon area — these consistently produce listings in the $400s. Older single-family homes from the 1970s-90s in the Union and Midvale-adjacent border areas also show up in this range, often needing some cosmetic updating but sitting on established lots with mature trees, something newer Sandy subdivisions can't offer.
Buyers at this price point are usually trading square footage or a garage stall for Sandy's location: quick access to I-15 and I-215, a TRAX Red Line stop for commuters heading downtown or to the University of Utah, and proximity to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon for those chasing Alta and Snowbird on winter weekends. Townhomes and condos dominate the inventory under $500K, while detached homes in this range tend to be smaller — 3 bedrooms, 1,200-1,800 square feet — and move fast when they're well-priced. Canyons School District boundaries cover most of Sandy, a draw for families even when the budget is tight. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently on the market.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in Sandy.
What kind of homes can I actually get in Sandy under $500K? ▾
Most active listings in this range are townhomes, condos, and twin homes, plus some smaller 1970s and 1980s ramblers on the west side of the city. Detached single-family with a yard does come up, but it usually needs cosmetic work or sits on a smaller lot. Newer construction under $500K in Sandy is rare and typically attached product.
Which Sandy neighborhoods have the most inventory in this price range? ▾
Look at Union, Crescent, the area around 9000 South and 700 East, and the townhome communities near the TRAX stations at Historic Sandy and Sandy Civic Center. Pepperwood, Dimple Dell, and the east bench above 1300 East are generally well above $500K.
What schools serve homes under $500K in Sandy? ▾
Sandy is split mostly between Canyons School District (Alta, Hillcrest, Jordan High) with a small portion in Jordan District. Specific boundaries vary block by block, so confirm the assigned elementary, middle, and high school on any listing before you write an offer.
Are HOA fees common at this price point? ▾
Yes — most attached homes in Sandy under $500K carry an HOA covering exterior maintenance, landscaping, and sometimes water or trash. Fees typically run $150 to $350 a month. Detached homes in older subdivisions usually have no HOA.
How fast do homes under $500K move in Sandy? ▾
Move-in-ready listings priced correctly often go under contract within a week or two, sometimes with multiple offers. Homes needing work or with unusual layouts sit longer. Having financing fully underwritten before you tour helps when competing.
Can I use FHA or VA financing on these homes? ▾
Yes, and both are common in this price band. The 2024 FHA loan limit in Salt Lake County is well above $500K, and VA has no cap for qualified borrowers. Some condo projects in Sandy are FHA/VA approved and some aren't, so verify project approval early if you're going that route.
