🏡 The Market Is Moving — Are You Ready to Move With It?

If you’ve been watching the Davis County market and thinking, “I’ll wait for the right moment…” — you’re not alone.

But here’s what needs to be said more clearly:

👉 The window is shifting right now. And it’s moving fast.

📊 What the Numbers Are Showing

  • 804 active listings

  • 432 homes under contract
    👉 That’s a 54% ratio — and rising

At the start of the year, homes were sitting around 82 days.
Today, that number has dropped to about 35 days.

Inventory is up.
But so is buyer activity.

That’s not a contradiction —
👉 it’s a market heating up.

⚠️ What Sellers (and Buyers) Are Feeling

A lot of people are stuck in the same place:

“Did I miss it?”
“Am I too early?”
“Should I have moved months ago?”

That uncertainty keeps people from making smart moves.

But guessing in a market like this is expensive.

💡 What’s Really Happening

This is not a slow market.

👉 It’s a selective market.

  • Well-priced, well-prepared homes are moving

  • Homes that miss the mark are sitting (90+ days in some cities)

And here’s a number most people overlook:

👉 41 homes fell out of contract this period

That’s not small.

It’s a reminder that:

  • Not every deal closes

  • And not every offer is a good offer

📍 Local Pricing Snapshot

  • Median list price: $530,000

  • Average sold price: $621,000

City highlights:

  • Kaysville: $917K median

  • Layton: $494K median

  • North Salt Lake: ~$640K average

👉 The market is active — but it rewards preparation.

🎯 What This Means for You

The homes that win right now:
✔ Priced correctly
✔ Presented well
✔ Positioned to stand out online

The ones that don’t?
👉 They sit… and eventually adjust.

🧠 The Bottom Line

The opportunity right now is clarity.

Not guessing.
Not waiting for headlines.
👉 Having a plan.

Because the real risk isn’t the market…

👉 It’s watching the window close while you’re still thinking about it.

💬 Real Estate Q & A

💬 Sandra from Farmington asked: "Homes in my neighborhood seem to be sitting forever. My neighbor listed at $895K and it’s been over three months. Should I be worried about selling this summer—or is this just a Farmington thing?"

Todd’s Answer:
Sandra, you’re paying attention—and your instincts are right.

Right now, homes sitting in Farmington are averaging about 91 days on market. That’s real. And the median list price is around $895,000, which can absolutely work… if the home earns it.

But here’s what matters:

👉 Homes are still selling in Farmington.

  • 6 homes closed recently

  • Median sold price: $554,000

  • Average sold price: $666,867

  • 32 homes are currently under contract

So buyers are active—but only for the right homes at the right price.

🎯 What’s the Difference?

Two things:

1. Pricing accuracy
2. First impression

At the $800K–$900K level, buyers are experienced. They have options, and they won’t overlook a weak presentation or an aggressive price.

Homes sitting for 90+ days usually have a story problem—meaning the price, condition, or presentation doesn’t match buyer expectations.

🧠 What This Means for You

If you’re thinking about selling this summer, don’t guess on price.

👉 The smartest move is getting a real pre-list strategy before you hit the market.

That’s how you avoid becoming the next 90-day listing.
