If youāve looked into buying or selling a home in Daybreak, South Jordan recently, youāre not alone. Iāve lived here since 2004, and Iāve watched this community grow from dirt roads to one of the most unique master-planned neighborhoods in Utah. So letās dive into whatās happening in the Daybreak real estate market in 2025āand why it might still be one of the best places to call home.
š Daybreak Market Snapshot: 2025 Numbers You Should Know
Right now, there are about 140 single-family homes for sale in Daybreak. Prices start around $450,000 and go up to $1.8M, with the median home price sitting at $725,000 and the average closer to $772K. Homes are selling in about 37 days, on average.
Townhomes are also a hot optionā108 active listings range from $376K to $670K, with a median price of $468K. These are selling in around 41 days.
š Trends Iām Seeing in 2025
Inventory is tighter than itās been in years, but weāre still seeing more supply than other parts of the stateāespecially with new construction. Builders are offering rate buydowns, closing cost help, and in some cases, you may even qualify for Utahās $20,000 homebuyer grant if youāre buying a new townhome.
Weāre also seeing a lot of young families and out-of-state buyers move in. Why? Because Daybreak offers something different. Instead of spending your weekend mowing a big yard, you can hit one of our 60+ miles of trails, rent a paddleboard at the lake, or walk to a local concert or event. Thereās a reason over 30% of the community is preserved as open space.
šØāš©āš§āš¦ What Buyers Should Know
There are a few hesitations people bring up about Daybreak, so letās talk about them:
- āItās so far west.ā Fairābut weāve got the Red Line TRAX station that connects straight to downtown Salt Lake and the U. Bangerter and Mountain View are both being turned into full-fledged freeways too.
- āSmall yards.ā Thatās true. But you also get access to multiple parks, courts, pools, and fields that you donāt have to maintain. I personally have three parks within a five-minute walk, and Iām never mowing on Saturday.
- āHOA fees?ā You get a lot for $139/month: high-speed fiber internet, five pools, full gym, Oquirrh Lake access (with kayaks, paddleboards, even sailboats), and dozens of parks and trails. Townhomes have a separate HOA that also covers building insurance and exterior maintenance.
šļø Where Should You Live in Daybreak?
- Young Families: Check out Cascade Village. Affordable homes, good size for growing families.
- Downsizers (55+): Spring House Village is amazingāpickleball courts, clubhouse, cooking classes, pottery kiln, and an on-site event coordinator.
- Luxury Buyers: The Island, Lake Village, Watermark Village, and The Ridge at Eastlake all offer beautiful homes with views, water access, and high-end finishes.
ā¤ļø Why I Love It Here
This place is different. I know it sounds cheesy, but the sun feels like it shines different here. Maybe itās the bright-colored homes or the way garages are hidden, but it just feels good. I can walk to the lake, grab a paddleboard, or take my kids to one of the many parks in under 10 minutes.
Iāve lived in five different villages in Daybreak, from townhomes to condos to single-family homes, and each one had its own charm. This isnāt just where I workāthis is where I raise my family.
