Tooele's housing market added supply in September, with 232 active listings, up from 192 in August. Homes that closed went for a median home price of $410,000, but only 23 sales closed, well under the usual 54 a month, so read that price as a thin sample. At September's pace it would take about 10 months to sell everything listed, which tilts the market toward buyers.
Market pulse
Supply has done most of the moving. Active listings rose from 134 in June to 232 in September, while new listings stayed in a narrow 66-to-78 range. Closings went the other way, falling from 54 in June to 23. The average sale price of $443,203 ran above the median because the 12 sales in the $400,000-to-$700,000 band had a median of $508,500, and the 11 homes under $400,000 had a median of $370,000.
Mortgage context
September's closings split almost evenly: 11 under $400,000 and 12 between $400,000 and $700,000. The upper group feels the rate more, since a median $508,500 purchase carries a bigger loan. Rates are up 0.375 percentage points over the past 30 days, which is part of why fewer buyers are closing.
Payment math
Buying at Tooele's $410,000 median home price with 20% down costs $2,293 a month in principal and interest at 7.5%, which is $84 more than at 7.125% thirty days ago, and $237 above April's $2,056 payment when rates averaged 6.42%.
If you're buying
Homes under $400,000 moved fastest in September, with a median of 9 days on market, so have financing ready for those. In the $400,000-to-$700,000 range the median was 34 days, and that is where you can ask for a price cut or seller-paid rate help. Five of the 23 closings took a price cut first, so check a listing's history before offering.
If you're selling
With 232 homes for sale, a buyer can walk away and find another. Homes sold at about 99% of list in September, and 11 of 23 closed below asking. Price near what Overlake Estates and Sunset Estates sold for, where two homes each closed at a median $607,000 and $539,500, and don't count on a bidding war.
Outlook
Fall usually firms the market briefly before cold weather thins showings. With 232 homes listed and rates at 7.5%, supply is likely to stay ample into winter. Sellers who list now face more competition than they did a year ago, when there were 169 active listings.
Watch for
If new listings hold near 75 a month while closings stay near 23, active inventory could pass 250 homes by December.
