🏡 Bountiful’s Story: Steady, Balanced, and
Poised for What’s Next

With data stretching back through November and December, Bountiful’s market has revealed a story of quiet balance — the kind that often signals stability ahead of a spring shift.

Active listings (70) are up slightly from early December, a sign that homeowners are preparing for renewed buyer activity in the first quarter.

Median days on market (68.5) remain consistent with late 2025 trends — homes aren’t flying off the shelves, but they’re still finding buyers in a reasonable window.

Sold homes (23) show a median sold price of $535,000, right in line with November and December figures, confirming that Bountiful’s home values are holding firm.

Price per square foot ($234–$251) has remained remarkably consistent — no price slide, no spike — just steady footing.

In other words, Bountiful’s market isn’t cooling — it’s catching its breath. Inventory is stable, prices are level, and homes that show well and price right are still moving. That kind of steadiness gives both buyers and sellers something rare in Utah’s fast-moving housing landscape: predictability.

🌄 Davis County Baseline: Setting the
Stage for 2026

Now, as we widen our lens to include all of Davis County, here’s the first full snapshot that will serve as our benchmark going forward:

Active Listings: 718

Under Contract: 278

Sold: 247

Failed Sales: 100

Median Countywide List Price: $527,900

Median Sold Price: $549,999

Median DOM: 63

Bountiful currently represents about 9–10% of the county’s total activity, giving us a clear picture of where it stands in the broader Davis market.

What’s next?

Starting this week, we’ll track week-over-week and month-over-month trends across all Davis County cities — from Layton to Kaysville, Syracuse to North Salt Lake — so that by February, we’ll be able to start telling the countywide story just as clearly as we’ve told Bountiful’s.

💬 The Takeaway

For now, the story is one of stability and preparation.

Bountiful’s market is holding steady through the winter, and Davis County’s baseline gives us a strong foundation for measuring what’s next — a year that promises movement, momentum, and a broader perspective for every homeowner and buyer in our area.

🏡 Luxury Lifestyle Shift: “Quiet Luxury” Takes Hold in Davis County

A growing housing trend known as “quiet luxury” is beginning to show up closer to home — including Davis County communities like Bountiful, Farmington, and Centerville.

Instead of oversized mansions or flashy upgrades, today’s higher-end buyers are gravitating toward well-designed homes that emphasize quality, comfort, and livability. Think timeless materials, thoughtful layouts, energy efficiency, and neighborhoods that offer mountain views, walkability, and access to everyday amenities.

National real estate experts recently highlighted this shift in a report from Fortune, noting that buyers are prioritizing how a home feels and functions, not just its square footage or price tag.

What “Quiet Luxury” Looks Like in Davis County

For local buyers and sellers, this trend often shows up as:

• ✨ High-quality finishes (wood, stone, custom cabinetry) without over-the-top design

• 🌿 Clean, warm interiors with natural light and neutral color palettes

• 🏔️ Location-driven value — foothill neighborhoods, mountain views, and established communities

• 🏡 Right-sized homes that feel intentional rather than excessive

• 🔌 Modern upgrades like smart-home features and energy efficiency

Rather than “look at me” luxury, these homes quietly signal quality and care.

Why This Matters for Davis County Buyers & Sellers in 2026

• Buyers are becoming more selective, favoring homes that will age well and support long-term living

• Sellers may benefit from focusing on presentation, craftsmanship, and lifestyle rather than bold renovations

• Agents are seeing staging and marketing shift toward warmth, simplicity, and storytelling — not flash

This trend aligns especially well with Davis County, where many buyers want upscale living without resort-style excess, and value proximity to schools, trails, downtown areas, and family-friendly neighborhoods.

Focus on “Livability,” Not Just List Price

As buyers head into 2026, many are shifting their focus from how big a home is to how well it lives — especially here in Davis County.

When evaluating a home, pay close attention to:

• Natural light and layout flow (open, functional spaces matter more than extra rooms)

• Storage and everyday usability (pantries, mudrooms, garages)

• Neighborhood feel (walkability, views, access to trails, schools, and downtowns)

• Long-term comfort (energy efficiency, newer systems, and manageable upkeep)

💡 Local insight:
In areas like Bountiful, Farmington, and Centerville, buyers are often willing to pay a bit more for a home that feels right day-to-day — even if it’s smaller — rather than stretching their budget for square footage they won’t use.

Bottom line:
A home that supports your lifestyle will usually hold its value better than one chosen purely on price or size.
