The clearest story in Centerville's April 2026 data is speed: median days on market dropped to 21 days, down from 38 in March and a sharp recovery from January's sluggish 70-day median. Buyers closed 17 homes in April — up from 12 in April 2025 — and the sale-to-list ratio climbed to 99.53%, the firmest reading since May 2025's 99.30%. The $400K–$700K band drove the month, with 11 of 17 closings landing in that range at a median of $498,000 and a median DOM of just 15 days.
Market pulse
Median DOM in Centerville traced a wide arc over the past six months: 16 days in November 2025, then widening to 40 in December and peaking at 70 in January 2026 before compressing back to 31 in February, 38 in March, and now 21 in April. Active inventory has climbed steadily from 29 homes in December to 36 in January, 47 in February, 52 in March, and 54 in April, giving buyers more selection without yet tipping the market toward oversupply — absorption sits at 3.18 months. The sale-to-list ratio recovered from a December low of 97.97% to 99.53% in April, with 4 homes selling above list price and 3 at list, suggesting well-priced homes in the $400K–$700K corridor are still attracting competitive offers. New listings held steady at 21 in both March and April, matching the pace of closings closely enough that inventory growth has plateaued for now.
Mortgage context
The 30-year fixed rate now sits at 6.625%, up 0.375 points over the past 30 days from 6.25% thirty days ago — a meaningful move for Davis County buyers already stretching toward Centerville's median price. Rates have climbed 0.43 percentage points from February's monthly average low of 6.19% to today's 6.625% spot rate, erasing the brief affordability window that opened earlier this year. Jumbo borrowers face an even steeper hurdle: the current jumbo rate of 7.375% is directly relevant in Centerville, where five of April's 17 closings were above $700,000.
Payment math
On a median-priced home today, P&I lands at $3,008/mo at 6.625% — $116/mo more than 30 days ago at 6.25%, and $134/mo above the February low when rates averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,874.
If you're buying
Target homes in Centerville's $400K–$700K band that have been listed 30 or more days — the sale-to-list ratio on stale inventory tends to soften, and with 10 of April's 17 closings still going below list price, there is room to negotiate on anything sitting past that threshold. Neighborhoods like Pheasantbrook and Centerville Commons have shown longer DOM patterns (52–97 days in recent months), so listings in those pockets are worth scrutinizing for price-reduction leverage. If you're eyeing the over-$700K segment, note that those five April closings carried a median DOM of 44 days — patience is rewarded at that price point, and the 7.375% jumbo rate makes precise pricing negotiation even more important.
If you're selling
April's 99.53% sale-to-list ratio is encouraging, but it was built on well-priced homes — the 10 closings that went below list price are a reminder that overpricing still stalls deals in Centerville. If your home is in the $400K–$700K range, price within 1–2% of recent comps from Parrish Heights or Smoot Homestead Estates and expect a 15–20 day close if condition is strong; pricing above that range risks landing in the 44-day-plus DOM bucket. Sellers in the over-$700K segment along the Summerhill Lane and Hidden Acres corridors should budget for a longer marketing window and consider proactive price positioning from day one rather than chasing the market down.
Outlook
Over the next 60–90 days, Centerville's spring momentum should sustain moderate closing volume — historically May and June are the city's busiest months, and the 54 active listings provide enough selection to keep buyers engaged. However, the rate climb from 6.19% in February to 6.625% today is already adding $134/mo to a median-priced payment, and if rates drift toward 7%, some buyers currently qualifying for Centerville will redirect their search toward more affordable Davis County communities like Layton or Clearfield. Inventory growth has stalled near 54 active listings; if new listings accelerate past 25–28 per month through June, absorption could soften and give buyers more negotiating room by late summer.
Watch for
If the 30-year fixed rate crosses 7%, expect median DOM in Centerville to widen back toward the 40-day range and the sale-to-list ratio to slip below 98%, as the $400K–$700K segment — which carried 11 of April's 17 closings — becomes harder to qualify for without rate buydowns.
"Centerville's spring shift: deals closing twice as fast as January, but rate headwinds are real."
Common questions about Centerville this month
Is Centerville a buyer's or seller's market in April 2026? ▾
It's a balanced market leaning slightly toward sellers in the $400K–$700K range. The sale-to-list ratio of 99.53% and a median DOM of 21 days indicate that well-priced homes are moving quickly. However, 10 of 17 April closings went below list price, and absorption sits at 3.18 months — so buyers have meaningful negotiating room on anything that has been sitting more than 30 days.
How much does it cost to buy a median-priced home in Centerville right now? ▾
At the April 2026 median sale price of $587,145 and the current 30-year rate of 6.625%, principal and interest runs approximately $3,008 per month. That is $116/mo more than 30 days ago when rates were at 6.25%, and $134/mo above February's low when the 30-year averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,874. These figures do not include property taxes, insurance, or HOA fees.
Which neighborhoods in Centerville are selling fastest right now? ▾
In April 2026, Parrish Heights closed at a median DOM of just 8 days, and Smoot Homestead Estates moved in 11 days — both well below the citywide median of 21. By contrast, Summerhill Lane and Meadow Lands carried DOMs of 46 and 54 days respectively, reflecting the longer marketing times typical of the over-$700K segment along the bench.
Are homes in Centerville selling above asking price? ▾
Some are, but it is not the norm. In April 2026, 4 of 17 closings went above list price and 3 sold at list — meaning 10 closed below asking. The overall sale-to-list ratio of 99.53% suggests the market is competitive but not frenzied; buyers who offer at or slightly above list on fresh, well-priced listings in the $400K–$700K band are most likely to succeed.
How does Centerville compare to nearby Davis County cities for buyers priced out of higher price points? ▾
Centerville's April median of $587,145 sits above many Davis County alternatives. Buyers who find Centerville's price points or the current 6.625% rate challenging often look north toward Layton or Clearfield, where entry-level SFH inventory tends to be more plentiful and median prices are lower. The I-15 corridor makes both cities viable commute options for buyers working in Salt Lake City or at Hill AFB.
