Draper Homes: Why This City Stays in High Demand (Even When Rates Rise)

by Bill Gillane

Draper remains one of the strongest and most competitive cities in Salt Lake County — and clients ask me the same question all the time: “Why does Draper stay so strong, even when the market cools off?”

A big part of it is lifestyle.

People choose Draper for the access to Corner Canyon, the views, the newer neighborhoods, and the schools. And while prices sit at the higher end of the valley, buyers get long-term stability and resale value in return.

If you're thinking about buying in Draper, here’s what you need to know:

Inventory is moving slower than last year
Sellers are more open to negotiation
Luxury market buyers have leverage
Townhome and condo demand remains high
New construction incentives are strong

For sellers, Draper still performs extremely well, but presentation matters more than ever. Buyers are skipping overpriced or poorly presented homes — and jumping on the ones that look move-in ready.

If you're thinking about selling, I’ll walk you through which updates add value (and which don’t), how to price correctly, and how to market your home so buyers fall in love the second they walk in.
