Waiting got shorter in Layton in October. Homes took a median 41 days to sell, down from 65 in September, and the median home price came in at $513,390. This housing market still leans toward buyers, with 281 homes for sale against 53 closings and about 5.5 months of supply. A year ago, 52 homes closed in October at a median $464,950, so prices are up about 10% while supply is up 55%.
Market pulse
Supply is the bigger movement. Active listings rose from 196 in April to 281 in October, while closings fell from 77 to 53. Speed was uneven: median days on market ran 13 in May, jumped to 65 in September, then fell back to 41. Homes asking more than they sell for tell the same story, since the median list price of $475,000 sits below the $513,390 median sale price, so buyers should go by recent closings. Only 6 of October's closings went above list price.
Mortgage context
Layton's October closings split by price, and the rate bites differently in each group. Only 6 homes sold under $400,000, while 35 landed between $400,000 and $700,000 at a median $485,000. Rates have eased 0.375 percentage points over the past 30 days, which helps that middle group most.
Payment math
Buying at Layton's $513,000 median home price with 20% down costs $2,837 a month at 7.375%, which is $106 less than the $2,942 payment 30 days ago at 7.75%, but still $263 above April's low, when rates averaged 6.42% and the payment would have been $2,574.
If you're buying
Check homes over $700,000 first. Twelve sold in October at a median $809,000 and 26 days, so sellers there are still moving. Then watch Villas at Kays Creek, where two homes closed at a median $433,000 after 143 days. Long-listed homes like those are where a price cut or seller-paid rate help is realistic, and 29 of October's 53 closings took a price change first.
If you're selling
What your home is worth comes from recent closings, not from the $475,000 median asking price. Homes sold at about 98% of list in October, so a price set 3% or more above comparable sales will likely sit. If you're under $400,000, plan for a longer wait, since those six sales took a median 82 days. Chelsie Park is a better example of pricing right: two homes closed in 14 days at a median $473,450.
Outlook
Winter normally means fewer showings and fewer new listings, and October's 77 new listings were already down from 93. With 281 homes for sale, buyers should keep the edge into January. Rates easing from 7.75% to 7.375% could pull a few more buyers off the fence.
Watch for
If closings stay near 53 a month and new listings hold near 77, inventory would stay above 5 months of supply into early 2027, and sale-to-list would likely slip toward 97%.
