Wasatch Front Home Prices by County: Salt Lake, Utah, Davis & Weber Compared (Fall 2026)

If you follow Utah real estate headlines, you've probably seen one "statewide median price" number repeated everywhere. That figure is useful, but it hides a lot. Along the Wasatch Front, a home in Salt Lake County and a similar home in Weber County can sell for very different prices, and they can move at a different pace too. Here's a county-by-county look at where things stand this fall, based on the most recent published numbers, and what it means if you're thinking about selling or buying.

The Statewide Picture: Steady Prices, Fewer Sales

According to the Utah Association of REALTORS® market activity report for September 2026 (which draws on UtahRealEstate.com and other Utah MLS data), the statewide median sales price was $530,000, up 1.9% from September 2025. Closed sales were down 11.9% year over year, and new listings were down 3.9%.

Homes spent a median of 65 days on the market, unchanged from a year ago. Inventory was 17,528 homes, up 3.6%, which works out to about 4.7 months of supply. In plain terms: prices are holding, but fewer homes are changing hands, and buyers have a bit more to choose from than they did a year ago.

Mortgage rates are a big part of that story. Freddie Mac's weekly survey put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 8, 2026, compared with 6.30% a year earlier. Higher monthly payments keep some buyers on the sidelines, and they also keep some owners with low-rate loans from listing.

County by County: How the Wasatch Front Compares

The Salt Lake Board of REALTORS® publishes quarterly numbers by county. Its most recent release covers the second quarter of 2026 (April through June), and it shows how differently each county is behaving:

• Salt Lake County: The single-family median reached $645,000, up 4.88% from the same quarter last year and the highest quarterly median on record. Average days on market rose from 45 to 48.
• Utah County: The single-family median was $600,000, down 0.83%, with sales roughly flat.
• Davis County: The single-family median was $568,450, down 1.57%, and single-family sales were down 2.76%.
• Weber County: The single-family median was $499,000, up 3.11%, while single-family sales dipped 4.42%.

Condos tell their own story. In Salt Lake County, the condo median slipped 2.81% to $417,900, roughly $227,000 below the single-family median, according to the same report. For many buyers, that gap is what makes a townhome or condo the realistic first step.

Why the Counties Move Differently

A few local factors help explain the spread:

• Land and new construction. Counties with more room for new subdivisions, like parts of Utah County, have more builder inventory competing with resale homes. That tends to keep resale prices in check.
• Location and commute. Salt Lake County's central location, job centers and older established neighborhoods with limited new supply help support prices there.
• Price points. Weber County's lower median gives it room to rise even when higher-priced markets flatten, because more buyers can qualify at those levels.
• Neighborhood-level variation. County medians blend very different areas. The same Salt Lake Board of REALTORS® data showed Huntsville and Eden in Weber County's Ogden Valley, and Alpine in Utah County, with single-family medians well above $1 million. A county average is only a starting point.

What This Means If You're Selling

The Salt Lake Board of REALTORS® described sellers as typically negotiating a few percent off list price, which points to a balanced market rather than a frenzy. With more inventory and fewer buyers, a few things matter most right now:

• Price to your neighborhood, not the headlines. The right list price comes from recent nearby sales of homes like yours, not from a statewide or county median.
• Plan for a longer timeline. Median market time is measured in weeks, not days. Build that into your moving plans.
• Be open to creative terms. With rates above 7%, help with closing costs or a rate buydown can attract more buyers than a straight price cut.
• Presentation still wins. Buyers have more choices than they did a year ago, so clean, well-lit, move-in-ready homes stand out.

What This Means If You're Buying

More inventory and slower sales generally mean more time to look and more room to negotiate. Compare total monthly payments rather than just price, ask about seller concessions, and get a solid pre-approval so you're ready when the right home comes up. If a county you love feels out of reach, a neighboring county or a townhome may get you closer to your goals.
