Closed sales in Clinton picked up in April 2026, reaching 20 transactions — a 43% rebound from March's 14 closings, though still below the 27 recorded in April 2025. The upper-price tier returned in force: 4 homes closed above $700,000 in April, including a sale in Stone Gate Subdivision at $1,060,000 and a Monarch Meadows close at $819,800, compared to zero over-$700K closings in the prior three months. The median sale price moved to $515,000, up from $465,000 in March and $459,000 in April 2025, though the upper-end mix is a meaningful part of that shift.
Market pulse
Active inventory in Clinton climbed to 66 homes in April, up from 59 in March, 45 in February, and 47 in January — a steady build that has added roughly 40% more available supply since the December trough of 39. New listings came in at 28 in April, consistent with March's 30 and well above the 10–11 per month seen in November and December. The sale-to-list ratio eased to 99.07% in April from 100.03% in February, signaling that the brief window of buyers routinely bidding over asking has closed; 9 of 20 April closings settled below list price. Median days on market held at 23 in April, tighter than the 35 days recorded in February and the 63-day median seen in January, suggesting that well-priced homes are still moving efficiently even as the overall pool of available listings grows.
Mortgage context
The 30-year conventional rate has climbed to 6.625% — up 0.375 points over the past 30 days from 6.25% — and has risen 0.43 percentage points since February's monthly average of 6.19%, which was the softest borrowing cost of the past six months. That rate trajectory matters in Clinton, where the median-priced home now carries a principal-and-interest payment meaningfully above where it stood just two months ago. Buyers using VA financing (available to many Hill AFB-area households) have a notable edge at 6.25%, roughly 37 basis points below the conventional rate.
Payment math
On a median-priced home today, P&I lands at $2,638/mo at 6.625% — $101/mo more than 30 days ago at 6.25%, and $117/mo above the February low when rates averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,521.
If you're buying
Target homes that have been sitting 45 days or longer — the Cranefield Est Collection 1507 close in April took 152 days and still transacted, which tells you sellers on stale listings are negotiable. With 9 of 20 April closings settling below list and the sale-to-list ratio at 99.07%, there is room to open below ask on homes that have had a price change or have been listed since early March. Buyers with VA eligibility tied to Hill AFB employment should run the numbers at 6.25% versus conventional — on a $515,000 purchase that gap is meaningful month over month.
If you're selling
The upper end moved well in April — four homes above $700,000 closed with a median of just 15 days on market, faster than the $400–700K band's 26-day median — so if your home is priced above $700K and in good condition, the spring window is open. In the core $400–700K range, where 16 of 20 April closings landed, price to current comps rather than last spring's: the sale-to-list ratio has slipped from February's 100.03% to 99.07%, and homes in subdivisions like Draayer Meadows and Shady Grove that sat 38–65 days still closed, but only after the market came to them. With 66 active listings and inventory building, the first two weeks on market remain your best leverage.
Outlook
Inventory in Clinton is likely to keep building through May and June as the spring listing season — typically the most active permitting and new-listing window along the Davis County I-15 corridor — adds supply faster than closings can absorb it. If the 30-year rate holds near 6.625% or drifts higher, buyers in the $450–550K range will face real affordability friction, and the $400–700K segment (which has driven the bulk of closings all year) may see DOM creep back toward the 30–35 day range seen in February. The upper end bears watching: April's four over-$700K closings were the most in several months, but that segment is thin enough that one or two fewer transactions in May would shift the median noticeably.
Watch for
If the 30-year conventional rate crosses 7%, expect months-of-supply in Clinton to push past 5 as the $450–550K buyer pool — already stretched at $2,638/mo P&I — pulls back, leaving the growing active inventory with fewer qualified offers.
"Clinton's April: fewer closings than a year ago, but the upper end is back at the table."
Common questions about Clinton this month
Is Clinton a buyer's or seller's market in April 2026? ▾
It's a transitional market leaning toward balance. Active inventory has grown to 66 homes — up from 39 in December — and 9 of 20 April closings settled below list price. That said, well-priced homes in the $400–700K range are still moving in around 26 days, so sellers who price accurately retain leverage. Buyers have more options and more negotiating room than they did in February, when the sale-to-list ratio briefly exceeded 100%.
Why did the Clinton median sale price jump to $515,000 in April? ▾
A significant part of the April median increase reflects mix shift rather than broad appreciation. Four homes closed above $700,000 in April — including a $1,060,000 sale in Stone Gate Subdivision and an $819,800 close in Monarch Meadows — compared to zero over-$700K closings in January, February, and March. Within the core $400–700K band, the median was $472,500, which is more representative of the typical Clinton transaction.
How are rising mortgage rates affecting Clinton buyers right now? ▾
The 30-year rate has climbed to 6.625%, up from 6.25% thirty days ago and up 0.43 percentage points from February's low of 6.19%. On a $515,000 purchase, that translates to a P&I payment of $2,638/mo — $117/mo more than buyers would have paid at February's rate. Households connected to Hill AFB who qualify for VA financing can access 6.25%, which meaningfully reduces that monthly burden.
Which Clinton neighborhoods or subdivisions are seeing the most activity? ▾
The Cranefield Estates cluster of subdivisions has been a consistent presence across multiple months, with homes ranging from the mid-$600Ks to over $750K. In April, Monarch Meadows and Stone Gate Subdivision produced the two highest-priced closings. In the mid-range, Draayer Meadows and Staci Place both recorded closings in the $545,000–$565,000 range. Homes in Shady Grove and Shron Estates have appeared in recent months as well, typically in the $465,000–$495,000 range.
How does Clinton's April 2026 market compare to April 2025? ▾
Closed sales fell from 27 in April 2025 to 20 in April 2026, a drop of 26%. The median sale price rose from $459,000 to $515,000 over the same period, though the upper-end mix in April 2026 (four over-$700K closings versus zero in April 2025) accounts for much of that gain. Active inventory grew from 55 to 66, and the sale-to-list ratio eased from 99.69% to 99.07%, reflecting a modest shift in negotiating conditions toward buyers.
