Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Home in Sandy, Utah? (Here’s the Real Answer)

If you’re like most buyers starting their search in Sandy, the first question you’re asking is: “Is now actually a good time to buy?”

Here’s the truth — in real estate, everyone wants a one-size-fits-all answer, but the reality is more like looking at the Wasatch Mountains from different angles. From Draper, they look one way. From South Jordan, completely another. Timing the market works the same way.

Right now, Sandy is sitting in a sweet spot that buyers often overlook. Interest rates have stabilized, price growth has slowed, and sellers are offering more concessions than they’ve offered in the last three years. That means buyers have a rare opportunity to get into homes with lower upfront costs, rate buy-downs, and room to negotiate.

I’m seeing it every week with clients: buyers who thought they “missed the market” are finally finding homes they love and winning offers without bidding wars.

Where you’ll have the biggest advantage today:

• Homes that have been on the market longer than 14–21 days
• Properties needing light updates
• Sellers relocating for work
• New construction homes (builders are offering major incentives!)

Sandy also continues to stand out for families because of strong schools, trail systems, mountain access, and a stable job market. And—unlike some nearby cities—Sandy’s inventory tends to stay more balanced, which keeps prices more steady.

If you’re wondering whether it’s the right time specifically for you, let’s look at your goals, your budget, and the type of home you want. I’ll walk you through every option so you feel confident and clear, not rushed.
