In April 2026, Clearfield homes moved faster and commanded more of their asking price than at any point since last summer — the median days-on-market held at 32, but the sale-to-list ratio crossed 100.03%, meaning the typical closed home sold slightly above list. That's a meaningful shift from the winter drag, when December's median DOM hit 51 days and the sale-to-list ratio fell to 97.77%. Compared to April 2025, closings slipped modestly — 27 sales versus 29 a year ago — while active inventory grew from 50 to 82 homes, giving buyers more options even as competition at the offer table remained real.
Market pulse
Median DOM in Clearfield traced a clear arc over the past six months: it peaked at 51 days in December 2025, then eased to 43 in January, 39 in February, 29 in March, and settled at 32 in April 2026 — a meaningful compression from the winter high even if it's slower than last spring's 20-day pace. The sale-to-list ratio tells a parallel story: after bottoming at 97.77% in December, it recovered to 98.61% in January, 99.14% in February, 99.72% in March, and finally crossed 100% in April at 100.03%, with 12 of 27 closings going above list price. Active inventory continued to build — from 53 homes in December to 60 in January, 69 in February, 78 in March, and 82 in April — adding supply without yet tipping the balance toward buyers. New listings moderated from March's 43 to 33 in April, suggesting the initial spring wave has crested.
Mortgage context
The 30-year fixed rate sits at 6.625% as of late May 2026, up 0.375 percentage points over the past 30 days from 6.25% — a meaningful jump that adds roughly $81/month to a principal-and-interest payment on a median-priced Clearfield home. Rates have climbed 0.43 percentage points from February's monthly average of 6.19%, which was the softest borrowing environment in the past six months. For Hill AFB-area buyers stretching into the $400K–$500K range, the VA loan rate of 6.25% offers a notable edge over the conventional 30-year, and that gap is worth running the numbers on before locking.
Payment math
On a median-priced home today, P&I lands at $2,105/mo at 6.625% — $81/mo more than 30 days ago at 6.25%, and $93/mo above the February low when rates averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,012.
If you're buying
Target homes in Clearfield that have been sitting 45 days or longer — the under-$400K band is carrying a median DOM of 38 days in April, and sellers in that segment are more likely to negotiate; the sale-to-list ratio on slower-moving listings tends to run closer to 97–98% rather than the market-wide 100%. If you're connected to Hill AFB and VA-eligible, the 6.25% VA rate versus the 6.625% conventional rate translates to roughly $50–$60/month in savings on a $400K loan — worth prioritizing that financing path before rates move further. Neighborhoods like Caralyn Park and Wilcox Farms saw quick closings (7–9 days) in April, so well-priced move-in-ready homes in those pockets will still draw multiple offers.
If you're selling
April's 100.03% sale-to-list ratio is a green light for sellers who price accurately against current comps — not last spring's comps, when the $400K–$700K band was clearing at a median $469,100 versus April 2026's $487,450, but the DOM was only 9 days versus 23 today. With 82 active listings on the market, buyers have real alternatives, so condition and presentation matter more than they did a year ago; homes that needed work sat 38+ days in the under-$400K band. If you're in Autumn Ridge or Mane Estates, April's closed data supports list prices in the $540K–$565K range, but expect 18–32 days on market rather than the near-instant sales seen in 2025.
Outlook
Over the next 60–90 days, Clearfield's market is likely to stay balanced-to-slightly-competitive: inventory is building gradually but the sale-to-list ratio above 100% signals that well-priced homes are still moving. If the 30-year rate holds near 6.625% or drifts higher toward May's 6.51% monthly average, some first-time buyers in the under-$400K segment may pause, which could push DOM in that band above 45 days by June. Seasonal permitting activity typically picks up through the summer along the I-15 Davis County corridor, so new construction in communities like Antelope Crossing could add modest competition for resale sellers in the $400K–$500K range.
Watch for
If the 30-year fixed rate crosses 7%, expect Clearfield's months-of-supply to climb past 4.5 and the sale-to-list ratio to retreat back below 99%, particularly in the under-$400K segment where payment sensitivity is highest.

Common questions about Clearfield this month
Is Clearfield a buyer's or seller's market in April 2026? ▾
It's a balanced market leaning slightly toward sellers on well-priced homes. The sale-to-list ratio of 100.03% and 12 above-list closings out of 27 total show that correctly priced listings still attract competitive offers. However, with 82 active homes and a 3.04-month absorption rate, buyers have more choices than a year ago when only 50 homes were active and absorption was 1.72 months.
How long are homes sitting on the market in Clearfield right now? ▾
The median days-on-market in April 2026 was 32 days, down from a winter peak of 51 days in December 2025 but slower than April 2025's 20-day pace. Homes in the $400K–$700K range moved faster at a 23-day median, while the under-$400K segment averaged 38 days. Quick-closing outliers like Caralyn Park (7 days) and Wilcox Farms (9 days) show that turnkey homes in desirable pockets still move fast.
What price range is most competitive in Clearfield in April 2026? ▾
The $400K–$700K band is the most active segment, with 14 of 27 April closings and a median sale price of $487,450. That band also had the shorter 23-day median DOM compared to 38 days for homes under $400K. Buyers targeting this range should expect to compete, especially on homes priced accurately near the $450K–$500K mark.
How are rising mortgage rates affecting Clearfield home buyers? ▾
The 30-year rate has climbed from a February average of 6.19% to 6.625% today — a 0.43 percentage-point increase that adds $93/month to the P&I payment on a median-priced Clearfield home, bringing it to $2,105/month. Hill AFB-connected buyers who qualify for VA financing at 6.25% can partially offset that increase. The rate move is most acutely felt in the under-$400K segment, where buyers are more payment-sensitive.
Is inventory growing in Clearfield, and does that help buyers? ▾
Yes — active listings reached 82 in April 2026, up from 50 in April 2025, a 64% increase year-over-year. New listings moderated to 33 in April after a 43-listing March, suggesting the spring wave is leveling off rather than accelerating. More inventory gives buyers real alternatives and more negotiating room on homes that have been sitting 45+ days, but the overall sale-to-list ratio above 100% means the market hasn't tipped decisively in buyers' favor yet.
