Investment Property in Farmington
Someone who has been flipping, renting and holding since 1999, and will tell you when a deal does not work.
The situation
I started flipping houses in 1999, sixteen years before I was licensed to sell them.
My husband and I own multiple real estate investing companies and we have flipped, run short-term rentals and built a buy-and-hold portfolio. Experience matters here for one reason: I have lost money on a deal and I know what it looked like going in.

Farmington as an investment market
The housing here. Established streets where the position of the house frequently matters more than the house itself. Recent citywide median around $663,000 (Redfin, three months to August 2026), the highest in Davis County.
The honest trade-off. The highest median in the county, and Lagoon puts seasonal traffic and some evening noise onto particular streets. Drive the specific street on a Friday in July before you decide it does not affect you.
Who chooses this area. Households whose week runs south toward Salt Lake City, and who wanted a town with its own centre rather than a suburb of the next one along.
What this means for you in Farmington
Stripped of the brochure, Farmington is a small town that kept its character, and the best Davis placement for a Salt Lake commute. The recent median sat near $663,000. Farmington pond, neighborhood parks and pickleball, mountain biking at the farm, and the farmington bay wetlands within reach, and the logical Davis County choice if your week runs toward Salt Lake City.
Farmington as an investment market. A recent median near $663,000. The stock spans enough eras that the deal is decided property by property rather than by the town. Station Park concentrates the shopping and dining in one walkable place, and the FrontRunner station sits beside it.
Underwrite the stock you are actually buying, not the brochure. Established streets where the position of the house frequently matters more than the house itself. Recent citywide median around $663,000 (Redfin, three months to August 2026), the highest in Davis County.
And before you buy anything here intending to rent it short term, confirm in writing with the city what that specific property is allowed to do. Rules are set locally and they change.
The numbers behind the numbers
Schools. Davis School District serves the county. Ask me which schools serve a specific address and I will tell you, so you can review the published data and reach your own conclusion. I name them, I do not rate them.
Getting around. FrontRunner beside Station Park, which makes this the best-placed Davis County town for a Salt Lake commute without driving it.
What is genuinely nearby. Station Park for shopping and dining in one walkable place. Farmington Pond, neighbourhood parks and pickleball, mountain biking at The Farm, the Farmington Bay wetlands, and Lagoon.
Farmington against the towns either side of it
Deals rarely respect city lines, so the neighbouring markets belong in the same underwriting conversation.
Kaysville sits at effectively the same recent median, so price is not what decides between them. What you get instead is the hometown feel most of the valley has traded away. The catch is that it carries a premium, and it is nearly level with Farmington rather than being the cheaper option
Centerville comes in around $87,000 lower on recent medians. What you get instead is a small town with its own shopping and cinema at the south end of Davis County. The catch is that freeway proximity and street noise vary a great deal between streets
If one of those fits what you have described better, I would rather point you at it now than show you eight houses here first.
Working with me
I will underwrite a deal with you honestly, including vacancy, maintenance, capital expenditure and management, and I will tell you when the numbers do not work. An investor who loses money on a property I sold them does not come back, and referrals are most of my business.
Bring me a Farmington property and we will run the numbers properly. If it does not work I will say so, which is the whole point of asking.

Are you a lender as well as an agent?
