Homes Under $500,000 in South Jordan, Utah
South Jordan has grown from a quiet farming community into one of the Salt Lake Valley's most established suburbs, and buyers watching the sub-$500K price point here know they're working with a shrinking — but real — slice of the market. The city sits roughly 18 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City along the Mountain View Corridor, putting commuters within easy reach of the Silicon Slopes tech corridor in Draper and Lehi as well as the major employment hubs at the Point of the Mountain. Homes in this range tend to be townhomes, older single-family builds from the 1990s and early 2000s in neighborhoods like Daybreak's more affordable pockets, Bingham Creek, and South Jordan Parkway, or occasionally a smaller detached home on a modest lot. Canyons School District serves most of the city, with schools like Herriman High and Copper Hills High drawing families who want suburban infrastructure — rec centers, wide trail networks, Jordan River Parkway access — without pushing into the $600K–$700K territory that newer construction typically commands.
The sub-$500K ceiling in South Jordan requires realistic expectations in today's market: square footage likely lands in the 1,200–2,000 sq ft range for detached homes, and competition from other buyers remains steady because the price point sits well below the city's median, which has hovered closer to $550K–$600K in recent years. That said, interest-rate shifts in 2023–2024 have softened demand enough that well-prepared buyers can negotiate — especially on homes that need cosmetic updating. Move-in-ready units in this range move quickly, so having pre-approval in hand before touring is practical, not just advice. Browse the active listings below to see what's currently available.

Common questions
About homes under $500k in South Jordan.
What kind of home can I actually get in South Jordan under $500K? ▾
Most sub-$500K inventory in South Jordan is townhomes, condos, and smaller patio homes — typically 2 to 4 bedrooms between 1,400 and 2,200 finished square feet. Detached single-family homes at this price point do come up, but they tend to be older Daybreak attached product, Riverpark-area townhomes, or properties needing updates. Newer construction at this price is almost always attached.
Which South Jordan neighborhoods have the most listings under $500K? ▾
Daybreak consistently has the largest share of sub-$500K listings thanks to its mix of townhomes and condos around SoDa Row and the Village Center. You'll also see options in Kennecott Daybreak's newer townhome phases, along The District area near Bangerter, and in older pockets near 10400 South and Redwood Road. Single-family detached at this price is rare west of Mountain View Corridor.
Are HOA fees a factor at this price point? ▾
Yes — most homes under $500K in South Jordan are attached product with HOAs, and in Daybreak there's an additional community assessment on top of any sub-HOA. Expect combined dues in the $80–$220/month range depending on the neighborhood. Always check what the HOA covers (exterior, roof, water, amenities) because it varies a lot between communities.
How are South Jordan schools at this price range? ▾
South Jordan is split between Jordan School District and Canyons School District depending on location, and the under-$500K inventory pulls from both. Daybreak homes feed into Jordan District schools like Daybreak Elementary and Herriman or Bingham High. Always verify the specific school boundary for any address — they shift, and being one street over can change the assignment.
Is it realistic to find a home with a yard under $500K here? ▾
Realistic but limited. Townhomes with small private yards or fenced patios are the most common option, and a handful of older detached homes with full yards list in this range each month — usually built in the 1990s or earlier and often needing some updating. If a real backyard is non-negotiable, expect to act quickly when one hits the market.
How fast do sub-$500K South Jordan homes sell? ▾
This is the most competitive price bracket in the city because it overlaps with FHA and VA loan limits and draws first-time buyers, investors, and people relocating from out of state. Well-priced, move-in-ready listings often go under contract in under two weeks. Homes that sit usually have an HOA issue, deferred maintenance, or a location drawback worth investigating.
