What is a house worth in West Jordan right now?
The typical West Jordan home value is $550,705 per Zillow data through December 31, 2025, up 2.0% over the past year, and Redfin recorded a $541,000 median sale price in November 2025, up 11.1% year over year.
Both figures sit below the record $645,000 Salt Lake County single family median from Q2 2026, which is exactly why West Jordan remains the valley's workhorse family market. Prices vary block by block, so an appraisal, not a county average, tells you what your home is worth.
“West Jordan is the valley's biggest pure family market. Three bedroom comps move fast here, and an appraiser has to know which side of Bangerter a sale closed on.”
What drives property value in West Jordan?
West Jordan is one of Utah's largest cities, with a 2026 population estimated at 116,737, and its housing stock tracks the city's westward growth. The east side between Redwood Road and the Jordan River Parkway carries 1970s and 1980s split entry homes and ramblers on established lots. The central belt around Jordan Landing, one of the valley's biggest retail and entertainment hubs, filled in through the 1990s and 2000s with the three and four bedroom family homes that define this market. Farther west, the Copper Hills area and new subdivisions climbing toward the Oquirrh foothills run newer and larger, with Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) and Bangerter Highway carrying commuters north. For appraisal work, the west to east age gradient matters: a comp pulled across Bangerter can sit in a different decade of construction, and adjusting for that is where local knowledge shows.

How much does a home appraisal cost in West Jordan?
Most Utah single family appraisals run roughly $400 to $800, per FairPriceCheck's Utah closing cost data. Standard West Jordan tract homes usually land near the lower end of that range, while large or complex properties cost more. Apex quotes a flat fee up front, averaged under 5 days turnaround in 2026, and ran 100% on time in 2025.
How do I remove PMI on my West Jordan home?
Under federal rules cited by the CFPB, you can request PMI cancellation when your loan balance reaches 80% of your home's original value, and it terminates automatically at 78%. Servicers often require a current appraisal as evidence, especially if you are counting on appreciation. With West Jordan values up year over year, a $400 to $800 appraisal can end a monthly PMI bill for good.
Do I need an appraisal to refinance in West Jordan?
Usually yes. Most refinance lenders require a full appraisal to confirm current property value before setting your new loan terms, though some streamline programs waive it. A strong appraisal can lower your loan to value ratio, improve your rate, and eliminate PMI in the same transaction. Apex handles refinance appraisal orders across West Jordan and is UAD 3.6 ready.
