What Santa Clara 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.
14 residential sales closed in October 2026. Typical asking price today: $699,900. 87 homes for sale. Year-over-year compares October 2026 with the same month last year.
Are Santa Clara home prices dropping?
The median sale price is down about 19.0% 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 Santa Clara a buyer's or seller's market?
With about 6.2 months of supply, the market leans toward buyers. Under about four months usually favors sellers; over six favors buyers. Homes are closing at about 95.8% of list price, so buyers are negotiating harder than they were. 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 Santa Clara
| Neighborhood | Median sale price | Homes sold | For sale now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Santa Clara Heights | $516,000 | 21 | 4 |
| Paradise Village At Zion | $918,000 | 8 | 5 |
| Arcadia Vacation Resort | $1,177,000 | 6 | 6 |
| Heights West | $553,000 | 5 | 1 |
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 Santa Clara
Santa Clara, founded in 1854 and settled by Swiss families in 1861, sits just west of St. George beside Snow Canyon State Park, with red-rock and black-lava views, the historic Jacob Hamblin Home, Swiss Days every September and the petroglyph trails of the Santa Clara River Reserve. It's a small city of about 8,700, with its own power and water utilities, and its population has grown about 15% since 2020.
Values vary sharply across town. Established neighborhoods like Santa Clara Heights, newer communities like Paradise Village, view homes on the ridges, and resort projects where nightly rentals are allowed, like Arcadia, all sell to different buyers, as the neighborhood table above shows. With only a handful of sales each month, every home needs comparables chosen carefully.
A CMA from a local agent matches your home with sales of the same type and setting in Santa Clara and nearby, then adjusts for views, lot, casitas, pools, updates and whether nightly rentals are allowed.
From a person, not an algorithm

The method
How we figure out what your Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara, 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 Santa Clara
National valuation tools treat a square foot the same everywhere. Buyers here don't. These are the details that most often separate two Santa Clara homes that look identical on paper.
Nightly rentals only in approved projects
Santa Clara allows short-term rentals only in specific approved resort and planned-development projects, like Arcadia, plus some properties in the historic district with a conditional use permit. A home in one of those projects sells partly on rental income; a home outside them can't be priced that way. See current vacation rentals.
Red-rock and Snow Canyon views
Homes with views of Snow Canyon, the red cliffs or the lava ridges sell for more than similar homes without them, and view quality changes from lot to lot. Compare current homes with views.
Casitas, pools and RV garages
Casitas, pools and RV garages add real value in Santa Clara, especially on newer and larger lots. Permits and condition matter. See current homes with casitas.
Water-wise landscaping
Santa Clara caps lawn area on new homes and limits daytime culinary watering in summer. Desert landscaping that looks good and costs little to water is an advantage.
Animal rights in the RA zone
The city's Residential Agriculture zone allows two large animals per 20,000 square feet. Most Santa Clara lots are standard residential, so zoning, not lot size alone, decides whether a home can keep horses.
Near the river
The Santa Clara River flood of January 2005 damaged homes outside the mapped floodplain. Buyers near the river ask about flood history and insurance, so have answers ready.
City utilities and schools
Santa Clara City runs its own power and water utilities. Santa Clara Elementary and Lava Ridge Intermediate are in town, and Snow Canyon Middle and High in St. George serve the city; buyers check boundaries with the district.
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 Santa Clara home
The best return usually comes from the unglamorous work, not a rushed remodel.
- Service the HVAC. A recent AC service record matters in a 100-degree summer. Buyers and inspectors check it first.
- Clean up the outside. Fresh rock, trimmed plants, working drip lines and a clear pool 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.
