Trying to figure out what $500K, $700K, or $900K actually buys in Herriman? Here’s the honest answer: the difference between those three tiers usually comes down to product type, age of construction, and pocket — not just square footage — and the gap between them can be bigger or smaller than you’d expect.
Herriman’s housing stock is varied enough that quoting one number per tier without context would do you a disservice. So let’s talk about what actually separates these budgets before you tour.
What Separates the Three Tiers
Why Price Research Beats Guessing at Every Tier
Herriman’s median home price rose from about $291,000 in 2014 to roughly $674,000 in 2024, according to the city’s own published data. That’s useful for understanding the direction the market has moved over the past decade — but it’s a 2024 figure, not a live number, and it’s a citywide median that blends every product type together.
What actually separates a $500K purchase from a $900K one in Herriman isn’t a fixed formula. It’s a combination of product type, lot size, age of construction, and which pocket of the city you’re in. About 41% of Herriman’s housing stock is townhomes or apartments — the second-highest multi-family share among nearby cities — which is part of why the lower end of the price spectrum often leans toward attached product rather than a smaller single-family home.
Source basis: The historical price trend and housing-mix figures come from Herriman City’s own City Growth & Infrastructure page. Current, tier-specific inventory isn’t part of that public data — that requires a direct, current read.
| Year | Herriman Median Home Price |
|---|---|
| 2014 | About $291,000, per Herriman City’s published growth data. |
| 2024 | About $674,000, per Herriman City’s published growth data. |
This is historical, citywide context — not a current price for any specific tier or pocket. Treat it as the backdrop for why price research matters, not a substitute for a live read.
What’s Available at Each Tier, Generally
Rather than quoting a specific home at each price point — which would be out of date by the time you read it — here’s the general shape of what each tier tends to represent in Herriman.
Around $500K
Often townhomes or smaller attached product, given how much of Herriman’s overall housing mix is multi-family. Worth confirming HOA dues and coverage as part of the real cost.
Around $700K
Where established single-family homes and newer construction often start to compete directly. Worth comparing lot size and age of systems, not just square footage.
Around $900K
Typically buying more space, land, or newer construction — but which of those matters most is worth confirming for the specific listing, not assumed.
Tradeoffs at $500K, $700K, and $900K
Here’s what I’d tell you if you were sitting across from me: the jump from $500K to $700K often buys you out of an HOA and into more land, but not always — some newer single-family construction still carries an HOA. The jump from $700K to $900K is more likely to buy size or newness than a fundamentally different location, since Herriman’s growth is spread across the city rather than concentrated in one premium pocket.
None of these are guarantees. They’re patterns worth testing against whatever is actually live when you’re ready to tour.
Where the Value Gaps Show Up Between Tiers
With close to 14,000 additional homes already entitled to developers in Herriman, the inventory picture at every tier keeps shifting. A value gap — a home priced below what similar properties are commanding — is more likely to show up in a pocket that’s still filling in with new construction, simply because comparables are still being established.
That’s exactly the kind of detail that’s worth a direct conversation rather than a general assumption, since it changes pocket by pocket and month by month.
How to Use This Before You Tour
Use this page to understand the shape of the tradeoffs, then get a current, address-level read before you commit to touring at a specific tier. A $700K budget that assumes single-family everywhere might actually need to flex toward $750K in certain pockets, or might stretch further than expected in others.
Questions to Bring to a Showing at Any Price Point
- Is this priced in line with what’s closed recently in this exact pocket, not the city median?
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- What’s the age of the roof, water heater, and major systems?
- Is this home part of a still-developing area, and what’s planned nearby?
- Which specific school does this address fall under?
