What South Ogden 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.
20 residential sales closed in October 2026. Typical asking price today: $453,570. 81 homes for sale. Year-over-year compares October 2026 with the same month last year.
Are South Ogden home prices dropping?
The median sale price is down about 10.3% 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 South Ogden a buyer's or seller's market?
With about 4.1 months of supply, the market is roughly balanced. Under about four months usually favors sellers; over six favors buyers. Homes are closing at about 98.9% 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 South Ogden
| Neighborhood | Median sale price | Homes sold | For sale now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkshire | $346,000 | 23 | 2 |
| Main Point | $330,000 | 9 | 1 |
| Chimney Hill Ridge | $478,000 | 8 | 0 |
| Emerald Hills | $325,000 | 6 | 0 |
| Brier Ridge | $312,000 | 6 | 0 |
| Ironwood | $360,000 | 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 South Ogden
South Ogden, established as a town in 1936, grew quickly in the 1940s as housing for Hill Air Force Base and the Ogden Arsenal, and today it's an established, largely built-out city of about 17,700 on the benches south of Ogden. US-89 runs through town, I-84 is a short drive away, Weber State University is nearby, and Nature Park's trails wind through about 50 acres of open space, with Wasatch views across much of the city.
Because South Ogden has little room for new subdivisions, most buyers are choosing among existing homes, and values depend on age, updates, view and lot. Mid-century neighborhoods, bench neighborhoods like Chimney Hill Ridge with valley views, and areas like Yorkshire and Emerald Hills all sell differently, as the neighborhood table above shows.
Mailing addresses here blur with Ogden, Washington Terrace and Riverdale, so online tools can mix in the wrong sales. A CMA from a local agent uses sales from inside South Ogden, matched by home type and setting, and adjusts for updates, basement finish, view and any permitted ADU.

The method
How we figure out what your South Ogden 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 South Ogden, 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 South Ogden
National valuation tools treat a square foot the same everywhere. Buyers here don't. These are the details that most often separate two South Ogden homes that look identical on paper.
Established homes and updates
Much of South Ogden was built from the 1940s on. Updated kitchens and baths, newer windows, roofs, furnaces and electrical set the top of the range, and documented work helps with buyers and appraisers. See current fixer-uppers for the other end.
Bench views
Homes higher on the bench with views across the valley toward the Great Salt Lake or up to the Wasatch sell for more than similar homes without them. Compare current homes with views.
ADUs need a permit, with no grandfathering
South Ogden allows internal, attached and detached ADUs on owner-occupied lots, with detached units on lots of 10,000 square feet or more, up to 1,200 square feet. Renting one requires a city rental license, and existing basement apartments aren't legal just because they've been used that way. A permitted unit adds value; an unpermitted one may not.
No short-term rentals
South Ogden bans short-term rentals in ADUs, and its zoning doesn't list whole-home short-term rentals as an allowed use. A home can't be priced on nightly income.
No horses on residential lots
South Ogden's code doesn't allow farm animals, including horses, on residential lots. Hens are allowed, from two to eight depending on lot size. Buyers looking for animal property look elsewhere in Weber County.
Secondary water
Secondary irrigation water in South Ogden comes from one of two providers, Weber Basin or the South Ogden Conservation District, depending on the parcel. Know which one serves your home and what it costs.
Schools
South Ogden is in Weber School District, with Bonneville High in neighboring Washington Terrace serving the city. 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 South Ogden 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.
