Median days on market dropped to 13 in September from 19 in August, and the median home price in West Valley City came in at $465,000. A year ago, September's median was $445,000 and homes took 22 days. Still, this housing market now favors buyers on supply: 375 homes were listed, against 178 last September, and only 51 closed. Buyers paid about 98% of list price.
Market pulse
Supply has moved most. Active listings grew from 188 in April to 375 in September, while closings slid from 81 to 51. At that pace it would take about 7.5 months to sell everything listed. Speed is the odd one out: median days on market fell from 19 in August to 13 even as the list lengthened. Solari drove much of that, with 10 closings at a median $481,375 and a median of zero days, which points to builder or presale deals. Hunter Village added four closings at a median $440,000.
Mortgage context
Thirty-six of September's 51 closings landed between $400,000 and $700,000, at a median $492,500, and that is the group feeling the rate most. Another 15 sold under $400,000, at a median $349,000. With the 30-year at 7.5% and up from 7.125% a month earlier, buyers in the middle band are watching every extra dollar of payment.
Payment math
Financing the $465,000 median home with 20% down costs $2,601 a month in principal and interest at 7.5%, which is $95 more than the $2,506 at 7.125% thirty days ago, and $269 above the $2,332 payment in April when rates averaged 6.42%.
If you're buying
Look at homes that have sat past 53 days, since a quarter of September's closings took at least that long and those sellers are the ones who negotiate. Seventeen of the 51 closings followed a price cut, so ask about one on any home that has lingered. In Solari, expect quick builder-style deals; resale homes in Valley Vu Villas and Kiowa Court gave more time to look.
If you're selling
Yours is one of 375 active listings, and buyers paid about 98% of list in September, so price at what similar homes actually closed for. The median list price of $469,999 was only slightly above the $465,000 median sale price, so overshooting by much will cost you weeks. Under $400,000, homes took a median 19 days; in the $400,000 to $700,000 range, 13 days, so condition and price matter more than timing.
Outlook
Showings along the Wasatch Front typically thin from October into winter, and with new listings at 116 in September, down from 143, supply growth may slow. Rates at 7.5% keep pressure on buyers, so closings likely stay near 50 a month. Sellers who list now will compete with a long list of homes rather than a spring rush.
Watch for
If closings stay near 51 a month and listings hold above 375, supply would stretch past 8 months, and the sale-to-list ratio could slip toward 97% by winter.
