Davis County Summary
The end of 2022 brought with it some very interesting data! Most notably, the interest rate for a 30 year mortgage was 6.48%, compared to 3.11% at the end of 2021. You would pay 5.73% for a 15 year mortgage compared to 2.33% a year ago. This increase in interest rates has led to a decrease in buyer activity, as well as removing motivation from would-be sellers.
New listings went from 3560 in 2021 to 2620 in 2022 in Salt Lake County, a 26.4% decrease. The number of single family homes that sold in Salt Lake County decreased from 3194 to 1749, a 45% decrease. The lack of inventory remains a major concern of the Utah housing market. Which is why the Median sales price in Salt Lake County increased ever so slightly to $560,997, a 1.08% increase.
If you’re a seller, you can take advantage of the higher prices and the lack of competition! If you’re a buyer, you can negotiate terms unseen in the last couple of years, without the stress of competing with multiple offers.
