📊 Inventory Is Rising… But Something Bigger Is Happening

Davis County real estate has felt steady lately—and you’ve probably noticed that.

But what’s more interesting right now… is what might be coming next.

📊 What the Numbers Are Showing

  • Active listings: 763 → 842 (April 2 → April 18)

  • Under contract: 416 → 432

👉 Inventory is rising
👉 But demand is still holding

Buyers have more choices—but homes are still being absorbed.

🌎 Why This Could Change Quickly

Here’s the part most people aren’t watching closely enough.

Mortgage rates are already moving down:

  • 6.46% → 6.30% in just two weeks

Oil prices have also dropped as global tensions (especially in the Middle East) begin to ease.

That doesn’t mean everything is perfect…

👉 But it does mean pressure may be coming off the system.

And this market doesn’t need perfect conditions to heat up—
👉 it just needs a little relief.

⏳ What This Means Right Now

For buyers:

  • You still have more selection than earlier this month

  • You still have some breathing room

But if rates continue to drop and confidence returns…

👉 More buyers will jump in—and competition comes back fast.

For sellers:

  • A window may be forming right now

  • Late April and May could bring more urgency and attention

But the homes that win will still be:
✔ Priced right
✔ Prepared well
✔ Ready early

🎯 The Bottom Line

The market hasn’t changed dramatically yet.

But the early signals are there.

👉 Davis County has been steady…
👉 Now it’s setting up to get hotter.

If conditions continue improving, this spring could shift faster than most people expect.

💬 Real Estate Q & A

💬 Jennifer asked: “Are we going to see a real estate crash in 2026? I’m concerned because my home has been on the market for months and I still don’t have any offers. What should I do? I’m getting nervous.”

Todd’s Answer:
Jennifer, no—the Davis County market does not look like it’s crashing in 2026.

What the numbers show is a stubborn, competitive market, not a collapsing one. Active listings have risen from about 763 on April 2 to 842 on April 18, while pending activity has still stayed in the 400+ range.

That’s not a crash.
That’s a market where buyers have choices—and weak listings get ignored.

If your home has been sitting for months, the bigger issue is probably not the market.
It’s likely strategy.

This is not the kind of market where a sign in the yard and an MLS post with crossed fingers gets the job done. Homes need real exposure—thousands, even hundreds of thousands of eyes online—not just the small group of buyers who happen to see it in the MLS feed.

In a market like this:

  • Professional marketing matters

  • Strong digital reach matters

  • And presentation matters more than ever

It also helps when a home feels safer and more move-in ready than the competition. That’s why our CERTIFIED TURNKEY HOME program matters—it gives buyers more confidence that the home is solid, well-prepared, and ready to go.

So my advice is simple:

👉 Don’t panic
👉 Don’t assume a crash is coming
👉 But do get serious about the strategy

If rates keep drifting lower and buyer confidence continues to improve, activity could heat up quickly. If that happens, you want to be the home that’s ready to win—not the stale listing buyers keep skipping.

So the short answer is this:

No crash signal. But yes—you may need a better plan, better exposure, and better execution.
