The story in Clinton this July is how much longer homes are taking to sell. Median days on market jumped to 63, nearly six weeks longer than June's 11 and well above July 2025's 20. Only 10 homes closed, half the prior 12-month average of 20, so treat this month's numbers as a smaller, noisier sample than usual.
Market pulse
Days on market have swung from 63 in January down to 17 in March, bottomed near 11 in May and June, then jumped straight back to 63 in July — the sharpest month-over-month reversal in the past six months. Active listings climbed from 44 in May to 65 in July even as new listings rose to 32, meaning supply is building faster than the 10 closings can work through it. Sale-to-list ratio slipped to 98.9%, the softest reading since June's 98.63%, and price cuts touched 7 of July's 10 closings. The $400K-$700K band, which drove most of the market all spring, produced just 4 sales this month, with the mix shifting toward both the under-$400K and over-$700K ends.
Mortgage context
The 30-year mortgage rate averaged 6.79% in July, continuing a climb from February's 6.19% low, and now sits at 6.875% today, up 0.125 percentage points over the past 30 days. That's added $35 a month to payments on a median-priced home here, according to current amortization figures, and it's part of why fewer buyers pushed through to closing this month.
Payment math
A median-priced $520,000 home in Clinton with 20% down runs $2,732 a month in principal and interest at today's 6.875% rate — $35 more than the $2,697 payment 30 days ago at 6.75%, and $188 above the $2,544 payment buyers locked in back in February's 6.19% low.
If you're buying
With only 10 closings and a median 63 days on market, you have room to negotiate — sold-below-list outnumbered sold-above-list 5 to 3 this month. Look at the under-$400K band, where 3 homes closed near $389,900, and don't be afraid to write offers on anything sitting past 70 days, like the Clint Village Sub No 2 home that took 72. Skip chasing list prices in the over-$700K band, where the one Daniels sale took 784 days to close.
If you're selling
Price against what's actually closing, not the $481,990 median list — homes here are selling for less than 99% of list, and 7 of the 10 July closings involved a price cut along the way. If your home isn't priced to move within the first 30-40 days, expect a wait similar to Cranefield CLT 195's 53 days or worse; the top of the market can sit for months, as the Daniels closing showed.
Outlook
Expect inventory to keep building into late summer if closings stay near July's pace, with 65 active homes against only 10 sales pointing toward more negotiating room for buyers. Rates in the high 6.8% range are likely to keep some buyers on the sideline through September, especially as Davis County's warm-weather selling window narrows. Sellers who price realistically against actual closings, not the $481,990 median list, should still find buyers before fall.
Watch for
If new listings keep landing near July's 32 while closings stay near 10, active inventory could push past 75 homes by fall, stretching median days on market well beyond 63.
"Clinton's cooldown: fewer buyers, slower clocks, more homes waiting."
Common questions about Clinton this month
Is Clinton a buyer's or seller's market in July 2026? ▾
Leverage moved toward buyers this month. Homes took a median 63 days to sell, active listings reached 65 against just 10 closings, and 7 of those 10 sales involved a price cut. Sellers still have room if priced right, but bidding wars are rare right now with sold-below-list outnumbering sold-above-list 5 to 3.
Why did homes suddenly take so much longer to sell in Clinton? ▾
Median days on market jumped from 11 in June to 63 in July, the sharpest reversal in the past six months. Part of it is a smaller, mixed sample of just 10 closings, and part of it is rising mortgage rates, which climbed to 6.79% in July and are adding real cost to monthly payments.
How much has the mortgage rate increase affected monthly payments in Clinton? ▾
On the $520,000 median-priced home here, the payment at today's 6.875% rate runs $2,732 a month with 20% down, up $35 from 30 days ago and $188 above what buyers paid back in February when rates averaged 6.19%. That's a meaningful bite for buyers stretching to qualify.
Should I trust the July median sale price in Clinton? ▾
Be cautious with it. Only 10 homes closed in July, half the typical monthly pace of 20 over the past year, so the $519,787 median reflects a small, uneven mix that ranged from a $389,900 starter home to a $996,100 sale in Daniels.
Are price cuts becoming more common in Clinton? ▾
In July, 7 of the 10 closings had a price reduction along the way, a notably high share for such a small month. With inventory rising to 65 active homes and new listings at 32, sellers are increasingly adjusting price to find buyers rather than waiting them out.
