Zillow's average home value ran $682,135 in February 2026 (up 4.0% YoY), while Redfin's median sale price ran higher still at $703,000 in December 2025 -- more recent closed sales through July 2026 ran $627,450, a real, disclosed cooling signal even within a still-premium market.
Rent carries a real, disclosed volatility
One-bedroom rent averaged $1,499/month per Zumper, though Zumper's own citation shows sharp, disclosed year-over-year swings -- confirm a specific listing directly rather than budgeting off any single figure.
Utah's flat income tax and a Davis County tax hike to watch
Utah's flat 4.45% state income tax applies statewide. Davis County's effective property tax rate ran approximately 0.56% based on 2025 data, but county commissioners approved a real, disclosed roughly 14.9% property tax increase in December 2025 -- final 2026 rates are set by county auditors in fall 2026, so a Farmington homeowner's actual bill may run meaningfully higher.
A 7.25% combined sales tax
Farmington's combined sales tax rate ran 7.25% as of 2026 (4.85% state, 1.8% Davis County, 0.1% city, 0.5% special district).
