What is a Kamas home worth?
Zillow put the typical Kamas home at $1,202,747 in data through August 31, 2026, up 6.3 percent in a year, with a median list price of $1,602,250 and 67 median days to pending. Movoto reported a $1,362,500 median sold price for Kamas in September 2026.
Those medians mix very different homes. County records show 1970s houses in Kamas Park Homesites, 2016 townhomes on 0.05 acre lots, and North Meadow lots that average about an acre. With 2,092 residents (2020 Census), each of those types trades only a few times a year.
A Kamas median says little about a townhome on Canyon Creek or an acre on Dovetail Drive. The comp has to match the land first.
How do Kamas neighborhoods differ?
Kamas housing splits into older lots near Main Street and Center Street, quarter to half acre subdivisions built since the 1990s, a few attached and small lot projects, and High Star Ranch. County records name about 20 subdivisions with homes.
Grassy Creek
The largest subdivision in town: four plats on West 300 to 480 North and North 100 to 280 West, with about 98 homes built 1999 to 2018 (average 2004) on lots near 0.28 acre. Plats went in over two decades, so a later plat's sales need an age check against Plat A.
Thorn Creek
Eight phases on Thorn Creek Drive and Big Meadow Drive. County records show about 30 homes built 2018 to 2020 on lots near 0.38 acre, the newest detached stock in Kamas. Homes this close in age separate on finish, garage space and lot, not build year.
Kamas Park Homesites
Hawthorne Drive, East 300 North and North 200 East, recorded as Kamas Park Homsites. About 25 homes average a 1978 build year on lots near a quarter acre. Many are 40 or more years old, so updates and condition carry most of the adjustment.
High Star Ranch
Plats on High Star Drive and Spring Road on the north side, including Spring Hill at High Star Ranch and an event barn. In October 2025 KPCW reported the Kamas City Council reviewing a district there with a hotel and 17 homes allowed. Ranch sales rarely match in town comps.
Canyon Creek Townhomes
Attached homes on East 200 South, South 200 East and East 160 South: 18 units built 2016 and 2017 on lots near 0.05 acre. A detached Kamas sale is a poor match, so resales inside the project come first, then other attached sales nearby in Summit County.
Beaver Creek at Kamas
East 270 South and East 350 South, on the south side of town. Its 17 homes were built 2011 to 2020 on lots averaging 0.76 acre, about triple Grassy Creek's. Lot size can move value more than the house here, so land is compared before finish.

What drives home values in Kamas?
Land drives most of it. County records put Canyon Creek townhomes on 0.05 acre and North Meadow lots near an acre, and a buyer for one rarely shops the other. Age comes next: Kamas Park Homesites averages 1978, Thorn Creek 2019. Summit County records carry no house size, so the square footage in each report comes from Weston's own inspection.
Kamas sits 42 miles east of downtown Salt Lake City (Wikipedia), and the Mirror Lake Highway starts from downtown. Students attend South Summit School District schools. Kamas sales run thin, so Weston may widen the search across the valley, adjusting for location only when sales show buyers pay a difference.
Which appraisals does Weston do in Kamas?
Weston handles purchase and refinance, estate and date of death, divorce and settlement, tax assessment appeal, PMI removal, and pre listing and consulting work in Kamas (see services). Weston is FHA approved; an FHA appraisal also checks the home against HUD's minimum property standards, and Summit County's $1,163,800 limit sits just under Zillow's typical Kamas value. Reports are UAD 3.6 ready. The record: every 2025 report delivered on time, and a 2026 average turn time under five days, so plan on about a week from order to delivered report, and usually less.
What Kamas homeowners ask
What is my house worth in Kamas?
Zillow's typical Kamas value was $1,202,747 through August 31, 2026. A Thorn Creek house on 0.38 acre and a 1970s home on Hawthorne Drive can land far from that number. An appraisal prices your home against closed sales that match its lot and age.
What does a Kamas appraisal cost?
Most Utah single family appraisals run about $400 to $800 (FairPriceCheck). A Kamas home on an acre or more, or one with few matching sales, can take more research. You get the fee from Weston up front, before anything is scheduled.
When does a Kamas estate need a date of death appraisal?
When heirs or an estate attorney need the home's value on the day the owner died, usually for tax basis or dividing the estate. Weston uses Kamas sales that closed around that date, not today's prices.
What should I have ready for a Kamas appraisal?
Open every building, including shops and detached garages. Have a list of updates with years, any survey or plat map, and well or septic records if the home has them. Those papers fill gaps county records leave.
