What are Provo homes worth in 2026?
Zillow put the typical Provo home at $480,829 at the end of August 2026, up 1.6% in a year. The median sale in July 2026 was $484,731, and listings went pending in a median 34 days. The Census median for owner occupied homes, 2020 to 2024, was $467,200.
Those figures blend condos with houses on 0.42 acre lots. In Joaquin alone, Homes.com's guide puts condos and townhouses at $275,000 to $350,000 and houses at $450,000 to $575,000. A Provo value starts with property type and neighborhood.
In Joaquin a condo and a bungalow can share a block and still sit $100,000 apart, which is why a Provo comp has to match property type first.
How does Provo housing divide up?
Provo recognizes 35 neighborhoods in five neighborhood districts (North, East, Central, West and Northwest), plus two National Register historic districts. Under those, county records hold the subdivision plats that set lot size and era, from 1940s plats near campus to west side plats built since 2016.
Joaquin
A Central District neighborhood near the BYU campus, where the median home dates to 1939. Bungalows and small ranches share blocks with duplexes, condos and townhouses. Homes.com's guide puts most condos and townhouses at $275,000 to $350,000 and most houses at $450,000 to $575,000, so a sale only works as a comp if it is the same kind of property.
Provo East Central Historic District
Listed on the National Register in 1998, roughly 100 East to 600 East between 500 North and 500 South, with a second area reaching 900 East and 800 North. Weston compares sales inside the district first, then widens the search and adjusts for condition and updates when those run short.
Sherwood Hills
A North District neighborhood. County records file 310 homes under Sherwood Hills plats around 4000 to 4500 North, built 1973 to 2024 with a 1989 average, on lots near 0.42 acre and about 2,600 square feet. Land is a large share of value here, and a 2021 build can sit beside a 1980s one.
Oak Hills
An East District neighborhood. Oak Hills plats in county records hold 221 homes near 1450 East and 1700 North, mostly from the 1970s, on lots averaging 0.42 acre with about 2,400 square feet. Lot size and later remodels separate these sales more than build year does.
Indian Hills
North District, on streets such as Indian Hills Drive, Cherokee Lane and Iroquois Drive. County records count 314 homes, average build year 1973, on 0.29 acre lots near 1,800 square feet. Many houses here predate 1978, so an FHA appraisal includes a check for peeling or chipped paint.
Broadview Shores
West Provo, roughly 3250 to 3450 West around 1400 North, recorded as a planned unit development. County records show 269 homes built 2016 to 2024 on 0.17 acre lots with about 2,000 square feet. Few older Provo homes match this product, so comps come from this plat and west side plats of the same age.

What drives Provo home values?
Who buys matters as much as what gets built. Only 39.4% of Provo homes are owner occupied (Census, 2020 to 2024), and with 37,205 students enrolled at BYU in fall 2025, many near campus buyers are landlords pricing a home on rent. Weston confirms a property's legal use and unit count before choosing comps, since a home with an approved rental unit and one without are different properties.
After that come lot size and age. County records show 0.14 acre lots on 1940s plats such as University Gardens and East Park, and lots near 0.42 acre in Sherwood Hills and Oak Hills. Provo School District serves almost all of the city and Alpine School District a small section; Weston checks whether sales show any difference.
Which appraisals does Weston do in Provo?
Weston handles purchase, refinance, FHA, estate and date of death, divorce and settlement, tax appeal, PMI removal and pre listing appraisals across Provo (see services). The 2026 FHA limit for a one unit Utah County home is $601,450, above Provo's typical value, and many Provo houses predate 1978, so FHA paint checks come up often. Reports are UAD 3.6 ready. Turn time: 100 percent on time in 2025 and under five days on average in 2026, about a week from order to delivered report, and usually less.
Provo appraisal questions
What is my house worth in Provo?
Zillow's typical Provo value was $480,829 in August 2026, but a Joaquin condo and a Sherwood Hills house on 0.42 acre sit far from that figure in opposite directions. An appraisal measures and inspects your home and compares it with sales of the same type nearby.
How much does a home appraisal cost in Provo?
Most Utah single family appraisals run about $400 to $800 (FairPriceCheck). Size, property type and the report the lender or attorney needs set the fee. Call (801) 403-7723 with the address for a quote.
What is the difference between an appraisal and a realtor's CMA?
An agent's CMA helps set a list price, and the agent has a stake in the sale. An appraisal is an independent value from a certified appraiser who inspects the home. Lenders, courts and the IRS rely on the appraisal.
What is a date of death appraisal?
It values a Provo home as of the day the owner died. Executors and attorneys use it to settle the estate and to set the heirs' stepped up tax basis, so a later sale is taxed only on gains after that date.
