In April 2026, Taylorsville homes found buyers faster than they had in months — median days on market dropped to 16 from 28 in February and 39 in January, a clear sign that spring foot traffic translated into signed contracts rather than window shopping. Closings reached 53, up from 44 in March and well above the 38 recorded in April 2025, while the median sale price moved to $530,000 compared to $468,250 a year earlier. Active inventory climbed to 145 homes, up from 126 in March and 105 in April 2025, giving buyers more to choose from even as the pace of absorption held firm at 2.74 months of supply.
Market pulse
Median days on market in Taylorsville has swung sharply over the past six months: it peaked at 42 days in December 2025 and 39 days in January 2026 before compressing to 28 in February, 12 in March, and 16 in April — a pattern consistent with the seasonal spring acceleration typical of Salt Lake County. The sale-to-list ratio climbed to 99.54% in April, the firmest reading since June 2025's 99.75%, and 19 of 53 closings came in above list price, up from 13 of 44 in March. New listings jumped to 82 in April from 63 in March and 45 in February, the strongest new-supply month in the six-month window, yet absorption tightened slightly to 2.74 months from 2.86 in March — meaning demand absorbed the added supply without loosening. The $400K–$700K band, which accounted for 41 of 53 closings, posted a median sale of $530,000 at a median of 16 days on market, while the over-$700K segment (6 closings) moved surprisingly quickly at a median of just 6 days.
Mortgage context
The 30-year fixed rate sits at 6.625% today, up 0.375 points over the past 30 days from 6.25%, and has climbed 0.43 percentage points since February's monthly average of 6.19% — the softest rate of the past six months. That trajectory matters for Taylorsville buyers: after dipping to a monthly average of 6.19% in February, rates moved back above 6.4% through March and April before the most recent leg higher. FHA financing at 6.00% and VA at 6.25% remain meaningfully cheaper than the conventional 30-year, and given Taylorsville's proximity to Hill AFB employment corridors and its family-oriented SFH stock, those programs are worth running the numbers on before assuming the conventional rate is the only option.
Payment math
On a median-priced home today, P&I lands at $2,715/mo at 6.625% — $104/mo more than 30 days ago at 6.25%, and $121/mo above the February low when rates averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,594.
If you're buying
Target homes that have been sitting 30 or more days — the under-$400K band in April carried a median of 43 days on market and a sale-to-list ratio that trails the overall market, meaning there is more room to negotiate on older inventory in Meadowbrook and similar established pockets. In the $400K–$700K core, expect competition: 19 of 53 April closings went above list, so if you're writing on a well-priced Bennion Cove or Summerwood home that's been on market under two weeks, budget for a list-price or slightly above-list offer. If the conventional rate at 6.625% is stretching your budget, run FHA (6.00%) or VA (6.25%) scenarios — on a $530,000 purchase the monthly difference is material.
If you're selling
April's 99.54% sale-to-list ratio means correctly priced homes are essentially selling at ask — but note that 23 of 53 closings still came in below list, so overpricing remains a real risk. Sellers in Southridge, Willow Bay, and similar mid-tier subdivisions should price within 1–2% of recent comparable closings rather than anchoring to last spring's list prices; the median list price in April was $480,000 while the median sale was $530,000, a gap driven by mix, not by buyers paying over ask on overpriced homes. With 82 new listings entering in April and more expected through May, the window of lowest competition is narrowing — homes that need cosmetic work should either address it before listing or price to reflect it explicitly.
Outlook
Over the next 60–90 days, Taylorsville's market is likely to stay active but increasingly rate-sensitive: the 30-year has already climbed from 6.19% in February to 6.625% today, and May's monthly average is tracking around 6.51%, which adds roughly $80–$100/month in P&I versus the February low. New listing volume will probably continue rising through May and June as the spring shoulder season progresses, which should keep absorption in the 2.5–3.0 month range — balanced, but not a buyer's market. Buyers commuting to the Silicon Slopes corridor via I-215 or considering Taylorsville as a more affordable alternative to Draper or Sandy should expect continued competition in the $450K–$600K range, where inventory turns fastest.
Watch for
If the 30-year fixed rate crosses 7.0%, expect median days on market in Taylorsville to rebound toward the 30–40 day range seen in January and December, and the sale-to-list ratio to slip back below 98.5% as the $400K–$700K buyer pool thins.
"Taylorsville's spring sprint: faster closings, more listings, and buyers still showing up at 99.5% of ask."
Common questions about Taylorsville this month
Is Taylorsville a buyer's or seller's market in April 2026? ▾
It's a seller-leaning market, but not an extreme one. Absorption sits at 2.74 months of supply, the sale-to-list ratio is 99.54%, and 19 of 53 closings came in above list price. That said, 23 closings came in below list, and homes sitting past 30 days are seeing more negotiation — so buyers who target stale inventory have more leverage than the headline numbers suggest.
How much did Taylorsville home prices change compared to last April? ▾
The median sale price reached $530,000 in April 2026, up from $468,250 in April 2025 — a gain of roughly $61,750, or about 13%. The average sale price also rose, from $447,045 to $536,432. Keep in mind that April 2026 had 53 closings versus 38 a year ago, so the mix of homes sold shifted toward higher price points, which can amplify the median move.
How long are homes sitting on the market in Taylorsville right now? ▾
The median days on market in April 2026 was 16 days, which is meaningfully faster than the 28-day median in February and the 39-day median in January. The $400K–$700K band, where most activity concentrates, also posted a 16-day median. Homes under $400K are taking longer — a median of 43 days — so speed varies significantly by price point.
What does the current mortgage rate mean for my monthly payment on a Taylorsville home? ▾
At today's 30-year rate of 6.625%, P&I on a $530,000 median-priced home runs approximately $2,715/month. That's $104/month more than 30 days ago when rates were at 6.25%, and $121/month above February's low when the 30-year averaged 6.19% and P&I would have been $2,594. FHA (6.00%) and VA (6.25%) programs offer lower rates for qualifying buyers.
Are there more homes for sale in Taylorsville than there were a year ago? ▾
Yes — active inventory reached 145 homes in April 2026, up from 105 in April 2025, a 38% increase year over year. New listings also jumped to 82 in April, compared to 51 in April 2025. Despite the added supply, absorption tightened slightly to 2.74 months from 2.76 months a year ago, meaning demand kept pace with the new inventory rather than letting it accumulate.
