Salt Lake County New Construction Questions
How much do new construction homes cost in Salt Lake County?
Of the 64 Salt Lake County communities we track, 58 publish a starting price. Those run from $340K to $2M, with a median starting price of $600K. The rest are "call for pricing", which usually means the builder is between phases or pricing lot by lot. Quick move-in homes and end-of-phase specs are where builder incentives tend to be biggest.
Where is new construction happening in Salt Lake County?
The most active cities right now are Herriman (13 communities), West Jordan (13 communities), West Valley City (5 communities), Midvale (4 communities), and Millcreek (4 communities). In total we track new home communities in 17 Salt Lake County cities.
Can I use down payment assistance on a new build in Salt Lake County?
Yes. UHC statewide programs offer up to 6% down payment assistance on a UHC first mortgage, and they work on new construction within program limits. First-time buyers can also look at SB240, up to $20,000 at 0% interest for newly built homes priced under $450K. 10 of the Salt Lake County communities we track have a stated starting price under that cap. Local programs currently taking applications in Salt Lake County: Own in Salt Lake County, Midvale City DPA, South Jordan DPA, and West Valley City Chenoa Fund. Whether two programs can be used on the same purchase depends on each program's rules and your lender, so plan around one and confirm any combination in writing.
Do I need my own agent to buy new construction?
The sales office represents the builder, not you. Your own agent costs you nothing because the builder pays the buyer agent commission, and you get someone negotiating upgrades, incentives, and contract terms on your side. Most builders require your agent to be registered on your first visit, so connect with one before you tour models.
