Kearns buyers had 39 homes to choose from in October, up from 33 in September, and the ones that sold went for a median $405,000. That makes this a balanced housing market leaning toward buyers: sellers are asking a median $425,000, but homes closed at 98.9% of list. Closings rose to 13 from 11, yet the median home price slipped from $413,000 and days on market stayed at 26.
Market pulse
Supply is the bigger movement. Active listings grew from 26 in April to 39 in October, and new listings jumped from 14 to 20 in the last month alone. Hoffman Heights, the busiest subdivision with 6 sales, took a median 46 days to sell at a median $393,500, compared with 6 days a year ago when it had 9 sales. Overall closings were 13, down from 19 in October 2025, so more homes are competing for fewer buyers than last fall.
Mortgage context
Kearns is an entry-level market, and that matters when rates are this high. Five of October's 13 closings were under $400,000, with a median $345,000, while the other eight landed at a median $440,450. The 30-year rate has eased 0.375 percentage points in the past 30 days, which helps the higher group most because their loans are larger.
Payment math
Buying at the $405,000 median home price with 20% down costs $2,238 a month in principal and interest at 7.375%, which is $83 less than the $2,321 payment 30 days ago at 7.75%, but still $207 above April's $2,031 low when rates averaged 6.42%.
If you're buying
Look at homes that have sat past 40 days. Under-$400,000 homes took a median 41 days in October, and 6 of 13 sales closed below list. In Hoffman Heights and Copper City, where 3 homes sold at a median $440,900, ask for a price cut or seller-paid rate help before you offer full list.
If you're selling
Your home's worth is what similar homes closed for, and that was a median $405,000 in October, below the $425,000 sellers are asking. Five of the 13 closings did sell above list, so pricing at the market works. Price too high and you join 39 competing listings, with Hoffman Heights homes already taking about 46 days.
Outlook
Showings and new listings normally thin out in November and December, which should keep inventory from growing much further. At about 3 months of supply, buyers keep some leverage if rates hold near 7.4%. Spring will test whether the $405,000 median holds or slides further.
Watch for
If new listings keep running near 20 a month while closings stay around 13, inventory could pass 45 homes by January and push sale-to-list toward 98%.
