What is a Magna home worth?
The typical Magna home is worth $439,173, per Zillow data through August 31, 2026, with no change from a year earlier. The Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey put the median owner occupied home at $376,200.
That figure blends two housing stocks. Salt Lake County records (March 2026) put about 2,800 of the 8,017 homes in Magna's recorded subdivisions in plats that average a build year before 1980, most near 1,000 square feet, and 1,880 in plats averaging 2017 or later, many on lots under a tenth of an acre. Comps have to come from the same era and product type.
In Magna the build year sorts the comps before the square footage does.
How do Magna's neighborhoods differ?
Magna splits into small postwar and older houses on sixth to fifth acre lots, late 20th century tracts, and attached or small lot projects built since 2017. County records list about 85 subdivisions with 20 or more homes.
Gateway to Little Valley
Magna's largest recorded plat: about 981 homes built 2021 to 2024 on lots averaging 0.04 acre, roughly 1,600 square feet each in county records. With that many near twins, the best comps are resales inside the project, and a sale from the builder's own last phases can set the ceiling.
Centennial Village
About 575 homes with build years from 1928 to 2017 and an average of 1977, on lots near 0.17 acre. Houses average about 1,030 square feet. Ninety years of build dates under one plat name means age, updates and condition carry most of the adjustments.
Oquirrh Hills
Some 367 homes, mostly from the 1950s, on lots averaging 0.19 acre, with houses near 1,000 square feet in county records. Small postwar houses here sell on condition: a new roof, furnace or kitchen can separate two neighbors by more than any difference in size.
Pleasant Green Acres
About 258 homes built 1953 to 1975 (average 1957) on 0.17 acre lots, close to 1,090 square feet each. Many have been added onto over the decades, so Weston measures the house and checks whether the added space matches the quality of the original.
Gabler's Grove
One name, two products: about 185 detached homes averaging a 2021 build year on 0.12 acre lots, plus 168 townhomes from 2021 to 2023 on 0.03 acre sites. A townhome sale and a detached sale in the same project are not interchangeable comps.
Elk Run
Five recorded plats carry the Elk Run name: The Cottages, Lamplight Village, Aspen Village, Moonlit Meadows and Oak Meadows Estates, about 226 homes built 1999 to 2013. Lots run from 0.10 to 0.27 acre, so the plat a house sits in shapes its comps.
Chambers Townsite
Among Magna's oldest plats: about 59 homes in the townsite and its addition, built from 1899, with average build years in the 1920s. Lots are near 0.12 acre and houses about 800 to 960 square feet. Few recent sales match homes this old, so the comp search widens.

What drives home values in Magna?
Age and product type come first. A 1950s house of about 1,000 square feet, a 2000s house on a quarter acre and a 2020s townhome on a 0.03 acre site each draw a different buyer. Lot size is next: plat averages run from 0.03 to 0.59 acre.
In the older plats, condition does most of the work, so Weston inspects roof, heating, windows and later additions and adjusts with Magna sales of similar age. Granite School District serves the whole city, including Cyprus High. Magna became a city on May 1, 2024, after years as a township and then a metro township.
Which appraisals does Weston do in Magna?
Weston handles purchase and refinance appraisals, estate and date of death values, divorce and settlement work, tax assessment appeals, PMI removal (the CFPB says a borrower can ask at 80 percent of original value) and pre listing reports in Magna (see services). Weston is FHA approved; an FHA assignment also checks the house against HUD's minimum property standards, which on a pre 1978 home includes chipped or peeling paint. Reports are UAD 3.6 ready. On time in 100 percent of 2025 assignments, Weston has kept the 2026 average turn time under five days; plan on about a week from order to delivered report, and usually less. Call (801) 403-7723 to order.
Questions Magna owners ask
What is my house worth in Magna?
That turns on era and product more than the town name. A 1950s house in Oquirrh Hills and a 2023 home in Gateway to Little Valley sell to different buyers. An appraisal compares your home with closed sales of the same type.
What is the 2026 FHA loan limit for a Magna home?
For a one unit home in Salt Lake County, including Magna, the 2026 limit is $637,100. FHA loans need an FHA appraisal, and Weston is approved to do them.
How is an appraisal different from an agent's CMA?
An agent's CMA suggests a list price and is part of marketing. An appraisal is a licensed appraiser's independent opinion of value, with an inspection and written support, and it is what lenders and courts rely on.
How do I prepare a Magna home for the appraisal?
Clear access to every room, the attic hatch and the furnace. List major work with dates and costs: roof, heating, windows, additions and permits. On an older Magna house those records explain condition better than a walk through can.
