Utah housing market report- March 2025

The real estate market continues to adjust, and recent data for Davis and Weber County provides valuable insight into current conditions. While some key indicators remain steady, others highlight shifts in buyer and seller behavior. Below, we break down the latest market trends and compare them to previous months to help you navigate the evolving housing landscape.

Days on Market: Homes Selling Slightly Faster

The average number of days a home spends on the market has decreased from 54 days to 49 days. While this is a modest improvement, it suggests that buyer activity has picked up slightly, leading to quicker transactions. For sellers, this means well-priced homes are still attracting interest, but patience is still required compared to the faster-moving markets of previous years.

Median Sales Price: A Notable Decline

The median sales price has shifted from $489,900 to $470,000, reflecting a more than $19,000 decrease. This drop suggests that buyers may be negotiating more aggressively, and sellers are adjusting pricing expectations to reflect current demand. While home values remain strong over the long term, this short-term decline indicates a more competitive market for sellers.

Sales Price vs. List Price: Increased Buyer Negotiation Power

Homes were previously selling for 98% of the list price, but that figure has now declined to 96%. This change suggests that buyers have gained more leverage in negotiations, leading to slightly larger price reductions before closing. For sellers, proper pricing and strategic marketing are essential to securing strong offers in today’s market.

Homes Sold: Sales Activity on the Rise

Despite pricing adjustments, the number of homes sold has increased significantly, rising from 354 homes to 459 homes. This uptick in sales volume suggests that buyers are still active in the market and taking advantage of opportunities, particularly as pricing trends shift. Increased transactions indicate continued demand, even as the market undergoes slight corrections.

Key Takeaways for Buyers & Sellers

• For Buyers: With prices showing some downward movement and negotiations leaning in favor of buyers, this could be an opportune time to purchase before conditions shift again.
• For Sellers: While homes are selling slightly faster, pricing strategically is more important than ever to attract serious buyers and minimize extended time on the market.

Final Thoughts

Davis and Weber County’s real estate market remains active, with increasing sales volume but some downward pressure on pricing. The balance of power between buyers and sellers continues to shift, emphasizing the need for market awareness and strategic decision-making.
