Utah Housing Market
A statewide look at Utah’s housing market — the same verified numbers from the weekly Realtor Market Brief — with county-level drill-down, history, and charts for your clients.
What the Market Is Saying
As of August 2026, Utah's active inventory has increased by 8.1% alongside a modest 2.5% rise in new listings, providing buyers with more options to consider. While homes are spending the same amount of time on the market as last year at 65 days, the median listing price has shifted downward by 2.7%, reflecting a mixed market environment with increased supply and slight downward pressure on pricing.
For Buyers
- Inventory is higher than a year ago (15,216 active listings, up 8.1%), which may mean more homes to choose from and potentially more room to compare and negotiate on some properties.
- Median listing prices are a bit lower than last year ($579,000), though individual homes and neighborhoods still vary widely.
For Sellers
- More homes are available than a year ago (15,216 active listings, up 8.1%), so pricing and presentation can matter more than they did in a tighter market.
- Median listing prices are slightly below last year ($579,000), so current local data can help anchor a realistic list price.
