Active inventory in Bountiful reached 103 homes in April 2026, up from 76 in March and matching the level last seen in May 2025 — a meaningful shift after a winter that bottomed at just 60 active listings in December. New listings drove the move: 68 homes came to market in April, compared with 40 in March and 50 in April 2025, signaling that sellers who held back through the colder months moved decisively once the Davis County spring window opened. Closed sales came in at 33, modestly below April 2025's 42, but the homes that did close moved quickly — median days on market fell to 15, down from 19 in March and well below the 50-day median recorded in January.
Market pulse
From December through February, Bountiful's active inventory held in a narrow band of 60–75 homes and median DOM stretched as long as 50 days in January, reflecting the typical northern Utah alpine shoulder season when snowmelt and mud slow foot traffic. The spring turn came sharply: new listings climbed from 35 in February to 40 in March to 68 in April, pushing active count from 74 to 76 to 103 over those three months. Despite the inventory build, the sale-to-list ratio moved in the opposite direction — rising from 98.02% in March to 99.95% in April, meaning the homes that did sell went for essentially full asking price, with 12 of 33 closings landing exactly at list and 7 closing above it. Days on market compressed in parallel, with the median falling from 45 days in February to 19 in March to 15 in April, suggesting that well-priced homes are finding buyers quickly even as the overall pool of available listings grows.
Mortgage context
The 30-year fixed rate reached 6.625% as of late May, up 0.375 percentage points over the past 30 days from 6.25% — the steepest one-month climb since rates peaked in late 2025. That move follows a six-month arc that touched a low of 6.19% in February before climbing to 6.48% in March, 6.42% in April, and now 6.625% at the spot level, adding real cost to every purchase in Bountiful. Buyers using FHA financing have a modest cushion at 6.00%, and VA-eligible borrowers near Hill AFB in neighboring Clearfield can access 6.25%, but conventional buyers at the median price are absorbing the full impact of the recent rate climb.
Payment math
On a median-priced home today, P&I lands at $2,894/mo at 6.625% — $111/mo more than 30 days ago at 6.25%, and $129/mo above the February low when rates averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,765.
If you're buying
Target listings that have been sitting 45 days or more — the Canyon Rim and Newport Heights corridors have seen over-700k homes linger well past 60 days in recent months, and sellers in that segment have historically accepted below-list. In the $400k–$700k band, where 21 of April's 33 closings occurred and median DOM was just 15 days, move fast and expect to pay close to list; the 99.95% sale-to-list ratio on April closings leaves almost no negotiating room on fresh inventory. If your budget is flexible, the under-$400k segment in Bountiful — five closings in April with a median sale of $369,000 — is worth watching, as those homes averaged 33 days on market and may have more room on price.
If you're selling
The April data rewards sellers who price accurately from day one: homes that closed in April averaged 99.95% of list price, but that figure reflects sellers who priced to current conditions, not to last spring's peak. The median list price in April was $585,000 against a median sale price of $565,000, meaning the market is trimming roughly $20,000 off list on the median transaction — price your home at where you want to close, not where you hope to start. Sellers in the Maple Hills and Oakridge Manor areas, where luxury inventory has historically sat 60–100+ days, should be especially deliberate about pricing given that jumbo rates are now at 7.375%.
Outlook
With 103 active listings entering May and new-listing volume running at its highest pace since last spring, Bountiful buyers will have more choices over the next 60–90 days than at any point since mid-2025. The rate environment complicates that picture: at 6.625% and trending upward, affordability pressure is real, and the pool of qualified buyers at the $565,000 median is narrower than it was in February when rates sat at 6.19%. Sellers who list in May and June will face more competition from other listings than they did in the winter, making condition and pricing discipline more important than seasonal timing alone.
Watch for
If the 30-year fixed rate crosses 7.00%, expect months-of-supply in Bountiful to climb from the current 3.1 toward 5 or above as the buyer pool for $500k–$700k homes — which represented 21 of April's 33 closings — contracts further.
"More homes, faster sales, higher rates — Bountiful's April pulled in three directions at once."
Common questions about Bountiful this month
Is Bountiful a buyer's or seller's market in April 2026? ▾
It's a split market. The 99.95% sale-to-list ratio and 15-day median DOM on closed sales point to seller-favorable conditions for well-priced homes. But with 103 active listings and only 33 closings in April, buyers have more options than at any point since last spring, and homes that are overpriced or in the luxury segment above $700k are sitting considerably longer — Canyon Rim saw one closing at 75 days on market in April.
Why did so many new listings come to market in Bountiful in April 2026? ▾
April typically marks the opening of the active selling season in Davis County after the northern Utah shoulder spring, and sellers who held back through December–February's low-inventory window moved in force. New listings jumped from 40 in March to 68 in April — a 70% increase in one month. That pattern is consistent with the prior year, when 50 new listings came to market in April 2025, though this April's volume ran 36% above that.
How much does a median-priced Bountiful home cost to finance right now? ▾
At the April 2026 median sale price of $565,000 and the current 30-year rate of 6.625%, principal and interest runs approximately $2,894 per month. That is $111 more per month than 30 days ago when rates were at 6.25%, and $129 more than February's low when rates averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,765.
Are homes in Bountiful selling above or below asking price? ▾
In April 2026, 7 of 33 closings sold above list price, 12 sold exactly at list, and 14 sold below list. The overall sale-to-list ratio was 99.95%, meaning the average closing came in just barely under asking. Homes in the $400k–$700k range moved fastest at a 15-day median DOM, while the under-$400k segment averaged 33 days and showed more room for negotiation.
How does Bountiful's April 2026 market compare to April 2025? ▾
Closings were lighter — 33 in April 2026 versus 42 in April 2025 — but the homes that sold moved faster: median DOM was 15 days this April compared to 8 days a year ago, a modest lengthening. Active inventory was nearly identical at 103 this April versus 94 in April 2025. The key difference is the rate environment: the 30-year rate is now 6.625%, meaningfully above where it was in spring 2025, which is part of why closed volume is running below last year's pace.
