A typical Santaquin home needed 69 days to sell in October, up from 28 in September, and the median home price was $497,500. That makes this a balanced market tilting toward buyers: 172 homes were listed against 30 closings, and homes closed at 99% of list. Last October the median days on market was 44 and the median sale price was $524,900, so buyers now have more time and a little more price flexibility.
Market pulse
Active listings grew from 80 in April to 172 in October, and at October's pace it would take about 5.5 months to sell them all. Median days on market jumped from 28 in September to 69 in October, and a quarter of homes took 97 days or more. Closings rose to 30 from 25, but new listings fell to 44 from 60. Stratton Acres led with 5 sales at a median $633,990 after 98 days, while Silver Oaks had 5 sales at a median $299,900 after 79 days.
Mortgage context
Santaquin's October sales split into a lower tier and a middle tier. Eleven of the 30 closings were under $400,000, at a median $304,900. Another 17 landed between $400,000 and $700,000, at a median $541,000. Rates have eased over the past 30 days, which helps the middle tier most because its payments are largest.
Payment math
With the median home at $498,000 and 20% down, principal and interest comes to $2,749 a month at 7.375%, which is $102 less than the $2,851 payment 30 days ago at 7.75%, but still $254 above April's low of $2,495 when rates averaged 6.42%.
If you're buying
Start with homes that have sat 90 days or more. Stratton Acres sold at a median 98 days and Summit Ridge at 211 days, so sellers there are the most likely to accept a lower offer. If you want a quicker deal, Apple Hollow had 4 closings at a median $434,500 in 35 days. Also ask about price cuts: 23 of October's 30 closings took one first.
If you're selling
Homes are listed at a median $519,900 but closing near $497,500, so price to what has sold, not to what neighbors ask. What your home is worth in Santaquin depends on recent sales nearby, and 99% of list is the current norm. With 172 competing listings, price it right from day one. Only 3 closings went above list in October.
Outlook
Winter usually slows showings and new listings in Santaquin. With 172 homes for sale, buyers should keep the edge on pace and price into early next year. Rates that keep easing from 7.75% would help the middle tier, but listings are unlikely to thin out quickly.
Watch for
If new listings stay near October's 44 a month while closings hold around 30, supply would drift toward 5 months by January, and sellers could face a more balanced market.
