Davis County Utah Real Estate Market Update for September 2026

Updated September 19, 2026 | MLS data through September 17, 2026

If you own a home in Davis County, there is one number in this week's report that deserves your attention.

Failed-sale listings jumped from 42 to 59 in one week.

At the same time, active inventory barely moved. Davis County had 1,061 active listings in the September 17 compilation compared with 1,066 the week before.

Under-contract listings went the other direction. They moved from 352 to 356.

So buyers are still buying.

Homes are still going under contract.

But 59 listings landed in the "Failed Sale" category in the latest compilation, up 17 in one week.

That tells me something.

The Davis County real estate market is moving, but buyers are getting picky about which homes deserve their attention and which ones don't.

For a seller, that makes pricing, preparation, presentation, and the first few weeks on the market more important.

For a buyer, it creates opportunities. More sellers are being forced to deal with what the market is telling them instead of what they hoped their home was worth.

And when you look city by city, the differences get even bigger.

What is happening in the Davis County Utah real estate market right now?

As of the September 17, 2026 weekly compilation, Davis County had 1,061 active listings, 356 under contract, 53 recorded in the weekly sold group, 59 failed-sale listings, and 9 coming-soon listings.

Active inventory fell by only five homes from the prior week. Under-contract activity rose by four. Sold activity increased from 48 to 53.

The biggest move came from failed sales. They increased from 42 to 59.

I also compared the latest numbers with the previous six weekly reports and gave greater weight to the newer reports. On that basis, current active inventory is almost dead even with the recent pattern. Under-contract activity is also near its recent pattern.

Failed sales are running about 31% above the weighted recent level.

Sold activity, at 53, is running below the recent weighted level of about 61.

That's why I would describe September's Davis County market as selective.

There is demand. There is inventory. There are contracts being written.

But sellers can't count on the market fixing bad decisions for them.

Davis County real estate market by city

Here is the September 17 snapshot for all 15 Davis County cities in the weekly compilation.

Those numbers become much more useful when you compare them with where each city has been over the previous several weeks.

Bountiful Utah real estate market

Bountiful is one of the cities where sellers need to pay attention.

There were 117 active Bountiful listings in the September 17 report. That was up from 114 the prior week and about 6% higher than the recent weighted level.

The median active days on market reached 57.5 days, up from 56.5 the week before. That is also about 10% higher than Bountiful's recent weighted pattern.

Now look at contracts.

Bountiful had 23 homes under contract, down from 28 the prior week. That number is about 31% below the recent weighted level.

Seven sales appeared in the latest sold group, with a median sold price of $535,000.

For Bountiful sellers, I would pay more attention to rising inventory, longer market time, and weaker contract activity than I would to one week's sold-price number.

Buyers have choices.

A Bountiful seller who comes onto the market too high may spend weeks chasing the market instead of attracting it.

The current median active list price is $589,700. Price still matters, but the way a home enters the market may matter more than many sellers expect.

Centerville Utah real estate market

Centerville has a different story.

There were 56 active listings, compared with 55 the prior week. Even with that small increase, inventory remains about 9% below its recent weighted level.

Median active market time improved from 57 days to 54 days.

There were 18 homes under contract, down from 20 the week before but still a little stronger than the recent pattern.

Five Centerville sales appeared in the latest sold group. The median sold price was $950,000, but five sales are far too few to treat that number as the value of the entire Centerville housing market.

Property mix can move a weekly median fast.

Centerville looks more balanced than Bountiful right now. Supply is relatively contained and contract activity is holding up.

Sellers still need to earn the buyer's attention, but Centerville is giving us less evidence of inventory pressure than several neighboring cities.

Clearfield Utah real estate market

Clearfield active inventory rose from 80 to 86 listings this week.

That puts inventory about 5% above its recent weighted level.

Median active days on market reached 46 days, compared with 44.5 the week before. That is close to Clearfield's recent pattern, so we aren't seeing a major change in market time yet.

Under-contract inventory fell from 32 to 28 homes.

Six sales appeared in the current sold group, with a median sold price of $457,400. The median active list price is $407,000.

Don't compare those two numbers and assume Clearfield prices suddenly jumped. The homes that sold this week and the homes currently for sale are different groups of properties.

The more useful short-term signal is this: inventory increased and contracts pulled back.

That gives Clearfield buyers more room to compare homes.

For a Clearfield seller, pricing against today's competition matters.

Clinton Utah real estate market

Clinton is one of the more interesting markets in this report.

There were 62 active listings, up from 61 last week. That is about 15% higher than the recent weighted level.

Median active days on market rose from 42 to 48 days. Compared with recent weeks, current market time is running almost 30% higher.

That would normally get my attention.

But Clinton also posted 30 under-contract homes, up from 26 last week and above its recent contract level.

So buyers haven't disappeared.

What appears to be happening is separation inside the market. Some homes are getting chosen while other homes are sitting longer.

Only one Clinton sale appeared in the latest sold group, so the $415,000 sold figure should not be used as a citywide price signal.

If you're selling in Clinton, the contract activity is encouraging. The rising days on market tells you buyers still expect the home and price to make sense.

Farmington Utah real estate market

Farmington remains one of Davis County's higher-priced markets, and its current contract numbers are worth watching.

Active inventory fell slightly from 77 to 76 homes and sits about 6% below the recent weighted level.

Median active days on market increased from 41.5 to 43 days.

Farmington had 31 homes under contract, up from 30 a week earlier and about 14% stronger than its recent weighted contract level.

That combination matters.

Supply is a little lighter while contract activity is stronger.

Three Farmington sales appeared in the latest sold group with a median sold price of $885,000. With three closings, I would not use that number to set the value of another Farmington home.

The median active list price is $777,000.

Farmington buyers are still responding, but higher-priced sellers should never confuse demand with permission to overprice. Buyer confidence gets more important as the dollars get bigger.

Fruit Heights Utah real estate market

Fruit Heights is a small market, which means a few listings can change the percentages fast.

There were 21 active homes, unchanged from last week.

Median active days on market moved from 46 to 51 days.

Under-contract activity doubled from two homes to four.

No Fruit Heights sale appeared in the September 17 sold group, so there is no current weekly sold median to use.

The median active list price is $750,000.

I wouldn't make a big call from one week of Fruit Heights numbers. The sample is too small.

What we can say is that inventory is steady and contract activity improved in the latest report.

For a seller, that makes the competition inside your specific price range more useful than a broad county average.

Kaysville Utah real estate market

Kaysville remains fairly steady on several of the main numbers.

Active inventory moved from 69 to 68 homes.

Median active days on market stayed at 42 days.

Under-contract inventory stayed at 29 homes.

Eight Kaysville sales appeared in the latest sold group with a median sold price of $675,000.

Then there is the number I would watch: six failed-sale listings.

There were only two the week before.

Kaysville has buyers. The contract count says that plainly. But six failed sales in a market with 68 active listings is a reminder that having demand nearby doesn't mean every listing gets rewarded.

The median active list price is $772,450.

Kaysville sellers need to know exactly what they are competing against before choosing a price.

Layton Utah real estate market

Layton is the largest active market in Davis County by a wide margin.

There were 246 active listings in the September 17 report, down from 249 the week before.

Median active days on market held at 52 days.

There were 85 homes under contract, up from 82.

Ten sales appeared in the latest sold group, with a median sold price of $450,000.

The median active list price fell from $479,500 to $467,650. Some of that can come from a change in the mix of homes for sale, so I wouldn't call that a 2.5% drop in Layton home values.

The number that stands out is 17 failed sales, the highest raw count among the Davis County cities in this week's compilation.

Layton has lots of activity and lots of buyer choice.

That creates a market where the better-positioned property can still move while a weaker listing gets passed over.

North Salt Lake Utah real estate market

North Salt Lake had 84 active listings, up from 82 the prior week.

Median active days on market improved slightly from 52 to 51 days.

Under-contract homes increased from 13 to 16.

Those numbers point to a fairly steady market, with a recent improvement in contract activity.

Two sales appeared in the latest sold group, producing a median sold price of $235,000. Two sales are nowhere near enough to use that median as a measure of North Salt Lake home values.

The median active list price is $579,950.

North Salt Lake also recorded five failed sales.

So buyers are writing contracts, but they are still selective.

Sellers should pay close attention to the competing homes buyers can see at the same price.

South Weber Utah real estate market

South Weber active inventory fell from 26 to 23 homes.

Median active days on market improved slightly to 44 days.

Seven homes were under contract, up from six the prior week.

The median active list price moved from $654,950 to $599,900.

With only 23 active listings, a change in the kinds of homes currently available can move that median a lot. I would not describe this as an 8% drop in South Weber home values.

One sale appeared in the current sold group at $794,775.

South Weber supply has tightened a little, and active market time is running below its recent pattern.

Contract activity is moving in the right direction week over week, although it remains below its weighted recent level.

For sellers, property-level data matters more here than a county headline.

Sunset Utah real estate market

Sunset had 22 active listings, the same as the prior week.

That is lower than its recent inventory pattern.

Median active days on market rose from 31 to 34 days, but it remains lower than the recent weighted level.

Under-contract activity increased from five to six homes and is running above Sunset's recent pattern.

That is a positive demand signal for such a small market.

One sale appeared in the latest sold group at $134,000. One sale tells us almost nothing about broad Sunset pricing, so don't use that figure as a shortcut for home value.

The median active list price is $342,450.

Sunset currently has limited inventory and a decent share of homes under contract. Sellers still need to price against the homes buyers can choose today.

Syracuse Utah real estate market

Syracuse continues to carry one of the larger inventories in Davis County.

Active inventory fell from 115 to 109 homes.

There were 44 homes under contract, unchanged from last week and almost right on its recent weighted pattern.

Median active days on market increased from 43 to 48 days.

Seven sales appeared in the current sold group with a median sold price of $520,000.

The median active list price is $630,000.

Syracuse also recorded seven failed sales, up from two the prior week.

The combination is worth watching. Inventory has come down and contract activity is holding, but market time and failed sales moved higher.

That is another sign of buyers choosing between listings instead of buying whatever becomes available.

West Bountiful Utah real estate market

West Bountiful had only 11 active listings in the September 17 report.

That alone tells you to be careful with percentage changes.

One new listing can move inventory by almost 10%.

Median active days on market dropped from 43 to 33 days.

Four homes were under contract, unchanged from the prior week.

One sale appeared in the sold group at $540,000.

The median active list price moved from $644,950 to $590,000.

Again, with 11 active properties, that does not tell us West Bountiful home values fell by that amount. It tells us the current mix of available homes changed.

West Bountiful is a market where property-by-property analysis matters.

West Point Utah real estate market

West Point had 57 active listings, down from 59 last week.

Median active days on market increased from 53 to 56.5 days.

At first glance, that might look softer.

Then you see contracts.

West Point had 24 homes under contract, up from 23 and about 20% above its recent weighted contract level.

That is one of the stronger contract trends in the latest report.

Only one sale appeared in the current sold group, at $664,990, so don't use it as a citywide pricing measure.

The median active list price is $619,731.

West Point has a mixed signal. Homes are spending more time on the active market, yet contract activity is strong. Sellers should study which homes are getting picked and which ones are getting skipped.

Woods Cross Utah real estate market

Woods Cross posted the lowest median active days on market in the current city data at 28 days.

That was down from 32 the prior week and far below its recent weighted pattern.

Active inventory fell from 26 to 23 homes.

Under-contract activity moved from seven to six homes.

No Woods Cross sale appeared in the latest sold group.

The median active list price is $509,000, down from $524,950 the prior week.

Three failed sales also appeared in the current compilation.

The 28-day median is worth watching, but I wouldn't read it alone. Contract activity is softer than its recent pattern, and the small inventory makes the numbers easier to move.

Woods Cross sellers should watch the next couple of reports to see if the faster active-market time holds.

So is Davis County a buyer's market or a seller's market?

A county-wide label doesn't tell the whole story right now.

Bountiful is showing more inventory pressure and weaker contract activity.

Farmington has tighter inventory and stronger contracts.

West Point is showing strong contract activity even as active market time rises.

Layton has a huge pool of choices, plenty of contracts, and 17 failed sales.

Kaysville looks steady until you notice six failed listings.

That is why I don't like making a real estate decision from one county average.

Your city matters.

Your price range matters.

Your competition matters.

And the way your home is positioned against that competition matters.

What Davis County sellers should take from this report

The 59 failed-sale listings are the part of this week's report I would not ignore.

The market still has buyers. There are 356 properties under contract.

So when a property fails to sell, the first question should not be, "Are there any buyers?"

A better question is, "Why did buyers choose something else?"

Sometimes the answer is price.

Sometimes the home entered the market before it was ready.

Sometimes the photos, presentation, access, condition, or marketing hurt the buyer's confidence.

Sometimes the seller is competing with a better property and doesn't realize it yet.

This is why I tell sellers that putting a home in the MLS is the beginning of the job.

The goal is to understand the market before the home goes live, then price and present it so the buyer sees the value.

Equity should be protected with good information and a real plan.

What Davis County buyers should take from this report

Buyers have something they did not have much of during the frenzy: choice.

There are more than 1,000 active listings across Davis County in this compilation.

That doesn't mean every buyer has 1,000 good choices. Price, location, property type, condition, and payment narrow that number fast.

But the failed-sale count tells you sellers don't hold all the cards.

A home that has been sitting for 50, 60, or 80 days may create a different conversation than a new listing that was priced well from day one.

Buyers should study days on market, competing listings, previous price changes, condition, and the seller's position before writing an offer.

You don't need panic.

You need good information.

How the trend was calculated

I did not give every weekly report the same influence.

The September 17 data is the current snapshot.

For the prior-week trend, September 11 received the highest weight. September 4 received 80% of that weight. August 28 received 64%. August 21 received about 51%. August 14 received about 41%. August 7 received about 33%.

That keeps an older week from having the same say as a newer week.

I also put more trust in inventory, days on market, and contract counts when a city's weekly sold sample is tiny.

A city with one or two sales can produce a wild median that has little to do with the value of your house.

This report is designed to spot current direction, not to claim year-over-year appreciation. The weekly compilation does not provide enough information to make that claim from these figures alone.

Davis County real estate market FAQ

Are Davis County home sales slowing down in September 2026?

The September 17 compilation recorded 53 sales in the sold group, up from 48 the week before but below the recency-weighted recent level of about 61. Active inventory and under-contract activity are much steadier, so the data points to a selective market rather than a broad stop in buyer activity.

How many homes are for sale in Davis County Utah?

The September 17, 2026 weekly compilation shows 1,061 active listings across the 15 Davis County cities included in the report.

Which Davis County city has the most homes for sale?

Why are some Davis County homes failing to sell?

The data can tell us that 59 listings were in the failed-sale category in the September 17 compilation. It cannot tell us the cause of each failure. Price, condition, presentation, competition, access, marketing, financing, or seller decisions can all play a part. Each property needs to be reviewed on its own facts.

Should I sell my Davis County home right now?

That depends on your equity, your city, your price range, your reason for moving, the condition of the home, and what you plan to do next.

Selling can make sense in this market.

Guessing does not.

Before you decide, I would want to know what your home is worth in today's market, what you are competing against, what preparation would help, and what you are likely to walk away with after the sale.
