What are Orem homes worth in 2026?
Orem's median sale price was $519,717 in June 2026, up 0.9% from a year earlier across 158 sales, according to Redfin. The median home took 35 days to sell, against 29 the June before. That figure blends postwar houses recorded at under 1,000 square feet with 2000s homes recorded at over 5,000, so it prices neither one.
Renters fill a big share of the city. The Census Bureau puts the owner occupied rate at 57.8% (2020 to 2024 surveys), which means rentals and owner homes often share a block, and condition can differ sharply between neighbors built the same year.
With about 42 percent of Orem households renting, the build year on a plat says less about a house than a walk through it does.
How does Orem housing divide up?
The city sorts Orem into 22 named neighborhoods across nine planning districts, and county records split it further into recorded subdivisions, most of them averaging a build year between 1951 and 1999. Era, house size and lot size, read plat by plat, decide which sales compare.
Heatheridge
North Orem around 1900 North and 300 East, and also a city neighborhood in planning district 3. The Heatheridge plats are the largest in Orem's county records: about 490 homes averaging a 1987 build year on 0.23 acre lots, near 1,600 square feet. With that many houses, most comps can come from inside the plat.
Geneva Heights
West Orem near 500 North and 1000 West, and a city neighborhood in district 5. County records show about 220 homes averaging 1961, some as old as 1920, at roughly 970 square feet on 0.18 acre lots. Houses this old have often been remodeled or expanded, so Weston measures each one instead of trusting the recorded size.
Stonewood
Near 560 South and Main Street, and a city neighborhood in district 7 alongside Lakeridge. The Stonewood plat holds 87 homes built 1989 to 2003 on 0.28 acre lots, averaging about 2,800 square feet in county records. That is large for an Orem house of its age, so size matching narrows the comp list fast.
Cherapple Farms
Northeast Orem around 1700 North and 700 East, reaching Skyline Drive. About 121 homes averaging a 1997 build year sit on 0.36 acre lots, near 2,700 square feet each. Lots that size are scarce in Orem, so how much a buyer pays for the extra land is checked against actual sales.
The Berkshires
Southeast Orem near 1400 South and 1140 East. County records list 58 homes averaging a 2008 build year on 0.66 acre lots, at about 5,400 square feet. Very few Orem sales match homes this big, so the comp search for one of them may widen beyond the city line.
The Ponds at Sleepy Ridge
West Orem along 1920 West, near 600 South. Its 60 homes went up from 2014 to 2016 on parcels averaging 0.07 acre, about 2,200 square feet each, a pattern that points to attached or small lot product. Recent sales of that same product type make the comps here, ahead of older detached houses close by.
Carrara Villas
North Orem on 375 East between about 1500 and 1570 North. All 93 homes were built from 2004 to 2008 on 0.24 acre lots and average about 2,540 square feet. One builder era and one product type mean resales inside the plat are the first place Weston looks.
Every other Orem neighborhood and subdivision

What drives Orem home values?
Size and era come first. Many of Orem's postwar plats record houses under 1,000 square feet, while the few plats built after 2010 record well over 2,500, so finished space and updates move value more than the subdivision name. Lot size matters where it breaks from the usual fifth of an acre, on the handful of plats averaging close to half an acre.
Alpine School District serves Orem today. After the November 2024 vote to split Alpine, Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove and Vineyard are set to form their own district in the 2027 to 28 school year. Whether a school boundary shows up in prices is something Weston tests against sales, never assumes.
Which appraisals does Weston do in Orem?
Weston handles purchase, refinance, FHA, estate and date of death, divorce and settlement, tax appeal, PMI removal and pre listing appraisals across Orem (see services). As an FHA approved appraiser, Weston checks peeling paint on homes built before 1978, which covers most of Orem's older plats. Reports are UAD 3.6 ready. Weston delivered 100 percent on time in 2025 and holds an under five day average turn time in 2026: about a week from order to delivered report, and usually less.
Orem appraisal questions
What is my house worth in Orem?
Redfin's Orem median sale price was $519,717 in June 2026. Yours can land well above or below it: a 1960s house of 900 square feet and a 2000s house of 2,800 do not trade alike. An appraisal inspects your home and compares it with close sales.
What is the FHA loan limit for an Orem home?
For 2026, the Utah County FHA limit on a one unit home is $601,450 (Homebuyer.com). Orem's June median sale, about $520,000, falls below it. An FHA loan needs an FHA approved appraiser, and Weston is one.
How do I remove PMI on my Orem mortgage?
Federal rules let you ask your servicer to cancel PMI once the balance is scheduled to reach 80% of the home's original value, and it ends automatically at 78% (CFPB). The servicer can ask for proof the value has not fallen; an appraisal supplies it.
How long does an Orem home appraisal take?
The clock starts once the order is in and a visit time is set, so order as soon as you have a contract, a court date or a loan deadline. Weston's 2025 and 2026 turn time record is listed in the services section above.
