Layton homes took a median 46 days to sell in September, up from 27 in August, and the median home price came in at $499,900. The housing market has tilted toward buyers: 251 homes were for sale and only 37 closed, down from 64 the month before. A year ago, 59 homes closed in September at a median $567,500, so prices are down about 12% from then.
Market pulse
Listings went from 178 in April to 251 in September, and about 7 months of supply is now sitting there at September's sales pace. Closings fell from 77 in April to 37 in September. Speed turned too: median days on market was 12 in May and reached 46 this month. Trailside carried the slow side, with 5 sales at a median $429,990 after 110 days.
Mortgage context
Rate pressure shows up most in the $400,000 to $700,000 range, which produced 27 of September's 37 closings at a median $499,000. Those buyers feel every quarter point, and the jumbo rate of 7.75% makes the 6 sales above $700,000 (median $795,250) even costlier to finance. Closings falling by 27 in one month fits that picture.
Payment math
Put 20% down on Layton's $500,000 median home price and the principal-and-interest payment is $2,796 at 7.5%, which is $102 more than 30 days ago at 7.125%. It's also $289 above April's low of $2,507, when rates averaged 6.42%.
If you're buying
Look at entry-level homes first. The four sales under $400,000 took a median 113 days, and Trailside's five townhome-style sales took 110. Of September's 37 sales, 19 took a price cut first, so ask for one on anything that has been listed more than a month.
If you're selling
With 251 homes for sale, buyers can compare easily, and they paid about 98.1% of list in September. Only 9 of 37 sales went over asking. If you're in the $400,000 to $700,000 range, where homes sold in a median 34 days, price at what similar nearby homes closed for, not at last spring's numbers. That's how to gauge what your home is worth today.
Outlook
Showings normally slow as October turns cold, and Layton starts with 251 listings and slower sales. Expect days on market to stay above 40 through winter. A seasonal drop in new listings, 93 in September, could trim inventory a little by December.
Watch for
If closings stay near 37 a month and new listings keep running near 93, supply would pass 7 months and sale-to-list would likely slip toward 97% by January.
