Homes in Harrisville took a median 45 days to sell in August, up from just 12 days in July and the slowest pace of the past six months. Even the fastest quarter of sales needed 41 days to close, compared with 6 days in July — a sign the quick-turnaround market from earlier this summer has cooled. Eleven homes closed, roughly in line with the 12-month average of 11, but the slowdown in speed is the real story this month.
Market pulse
Days on market have swung hard over the past six months — from a median 10 days in April to 31 in May and June, down to 12 in July, then back up to 45 in August. Active inventory has climbed every month since May's 25, reaching 53 in July and 55 in August, while new listings fell to just 14, the lowest of the stretch. That combination — more homes sitting, fewer arriving — pushed the sale-to-list ratio down to 98.33%, with six of August's 11 closings selling below asking. Dixon Creek remained the one steady name across the summer, though its August volume of 2 sales was its lightest showing since spring.
Mortgage context
The 30-year rate averaged 6.16% back in February and has climbed in nearly every month since, reaching 6.77% in August and now sitting at 6.875% as of early September. Over the past 30 days alone it rose 0.125 percentage points, adding $26 a month to payments on a median-priced home. That steady climb is likely part of why Harrisville sellers are seeing fewer offers above list and longer waits to close.
Payment math
Financing August's $396,000 median Harrisville home with 20% down costs $2,081 a month in principal and interest at today's 6.875% rate, $26 more than the $2,055 payment 30 days ago when the rate sat at 6.75%. That's also $149 above the $1,932 payment buyers would have locked in back in February, when the 30-year averaged 6.16%.
If you're buying
Closings past 45 days now make up half the market, so use that as leverage — six of August's 11 sales closed below list. Dixon Creek is still the volume play at a median $384,875, but with active listings at 55 and new listings down to 14, don't assume a rush; take time to negotiate on anything sitting past the 41-day mark.
If you're selling
Price against what's actually closing, not what's asking — August's median sale of $396,000 came in well under the $422,490 median list price. With inventory at 55 homes and new listings down to 14, differentiate on condition or price near recent sales in Dixon Creek and Summit View rather than testing the top of the range.
Outlook
Expect days on market to stay elevated into fall unless new listings pick back up from August's 14 — the lowest reading in six months. With rates near 6.875% and inventory still building, buyers should keep gaining room to negotiate through Weber County's shoulder season, while sellers competing with 55 active listings will need to sharpen pricing to stand out.
Watch for
If new listings stay near August's 14-per-month pace while active inventory keeps building past 55, the sale-to-list ratio could slip toward 97% by the end of fall as sellers compete harder for a shrinking pool of buyers.

Common questions about Harrisville this month
Is Harrisville a buyer's or seller's market in August 2026? ▾
Leverage has shifted toward buyers. Active listings reached 55 in August, up from 33 back in March and April, while only 14 new listings came on — the lowest of the past six months. With homes selling at 98.33% of list and six of 11 closings below asking, buyers have more room to negotiate than they did in the spring.
Why are homes taking longer to sell in Harrisville? ▾
Median days on market jumped to 45 in August from 12 in July, and the fastest quarter of sales still took 41 days — last month the fastest quarter closed in just 6. That's a real slowdown in pace, not just a blip, and it lines up with active inventory building to 55 homes against only 14 new listings.
What does a typical mortgage payment look like on a Harrisville home right now? ▾
On the $396,000 August median with 20% down, the monthly principal-and-interest payment runs about $2,081 at today's 6.875% rate. That's $26 more than just 30 days ago and $149 above what the same loan would have cost back in February when rates averaged 6.16%.
Are sellers still getting full price in Harrisville? ▾
Rarely in August — only 1 of 11 closings sold above list price, while 6 sold below. The sale-to-list ratio landed at 98.33%, meaning the typical seller gave up a little under 2% from asking, and six of the month's sales came after a price cut.
Which Harrisville subdivisions are selling this month? ▾
Dixon Creek remained the most active with 2 sales at a median $384,875, followed by single sales in Colony Subdivision and Summit View. Volume overall was thin — top subdivisions combined for just 4 of the 11 August closings, a sign sales are spread thinner across the city than earlier this year.
