What is a house worth in West Haven right now?
The median West Haven sale price was $477,685 in June 2026, up 13.7% year over year, per Utah MLS data.
That lands just under the $499,000 Weber County median single family price for Q2 2026 from the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, because West Haven's mix includes townhomes and starter product alongside its larger new builds. Homes averaged 31 days on market in June. In a market appreciating in the double digits, last year's estimate is already out of date, so a current appraisal is the honest answer to what your house is worth.
“In West Haven the comp pool turns over every quarter. When a builder closes out a phase, last year's data is already stale.”
What drives property value in West Haven?
Growth does. West Haven grew 3.9% between mid 2024 and mid 2025, among the fastest rates in Utah per University of Utah estimates, and the city has swelled from about 2,000 residents at its 1991 incorporation to more than 17,000 today. The old farm communities of Wilson and Kanesville, which merged to form the city, are filling with subdivisions and townhome projects, while the Weber River corridor and city trail system add the amenities buyers pay for. Quick I-15 access makes West Haven a natural base for Hill Air Force Base and Ogden commuters. For an appraiser, new construction is the defining challenge here: builder pricing, lot premiums and just closed phases keep the comp pool shifting, and weighing builder sales against resales correctly is what keeps a West Haven appraisal defensible.
When do you need a home appraisal in West Haven?
Every financed purchase needs one, and West Haven's steady stream of new construction closings keeps purchase and FHA appraisal work constant. Refinance appraisals follow close behind, and with the median sale price up 13.7% in a year, many owners can already document the equity needed to remove PMI at 80% of original value under the CFPB rule. Estate and date of death appraisals, divorce appraisals and pre listing appraisals cover the rest. Apex Appraising is UAD 3.6 ready and averaged under 5 days per assignment in 2026.
Questions people ask us in Weber County
What is my house worth in West Haven?
West Haven's median sale price hit $477,685 in June 2026, up 13.7% year over year per Utah MLS data. In a market moving that fast, automated estimates lag reality by months. An appraisal from a certified residential appraiser uses the newest closed sales, separates builder pricing from resale value and lands on a number you can defend to a lender or buyer.
What is the 2026 FHA loan limit in Weber County?
The 2026 FHA loan limit for a single family home in Weber County, which includes West Haven, is $744,050. That comfortably covers nearly every new build and resale in the city, so FHA financing remains a strong option for West Haven buyers. FHA loans require an FHA approved appraiser, and Weston Groll at Apex Appraising is FHA approved.
What is the difference between an appraisal and a realtor CMA?
A comparative market analysis is a pricing opinion an agent prepares to help set a list price. An appraisal is an independent, licensed opinion of market value that lenders, courts and the IRS accept. In West Haven, where builder incentives and rapid phases distort raw sale prices, an appraiser's verified adjustments matter. Use a CMA to strategize and an appraisal when the number must hold up.
How do I remove PMI on my West Haven home?
Under the federal rule documented by the CFPB, you can request PMI cancellation once your loan balance reaches 80% of the home's original value, and servicers often require an appraisal as evidence. PMI ends automatically at 78%. With West Haven prices up sharply, many owners qualify years early. Call Apex Appraising at (801) 403-7723 to find out where you stand.
