The current landscape of low inventory and higher interest rates is causing the pace of sales to slow in 新爱体育, Utah. Although activity has slowed some, we still would not refer to the market as slow.
The pandemic-fueled seller's market continued this year through the end of our winter season. Then for the first time in the last two years, we saw a typical seasonal slowdown in the off-season resulting in fewer early summer closed sales. With the tapering off of the pandemic buying spree and a more typical off-season, the summer sales activity felt somewhat like a return to normal. For the town of 新爱体育, closed sales prices have been relatively steady, with a slight dip in median price for the last three months, but a slight increase in average price. Overall, sold prices for the year have remained consistent.
Inventory has dipped again for the last three months, with fewer new listings being added to the market. Our current inventory is nearly double the uniquely low levels from earlier this year, with 386 active listings for sale in October. Compared to pre-pandemic years, 386 is only half of what we saw in October 2018 and 2019.
The list-to-sold price ratio continues to hover around 94-96%, suggesting buyers have had more success in negotiating with sellers. Most price reductions we see in the market are lofty, aspirational asking prices coming back down to better match recent sales comps. If a suitable property becomes available and is priced close to recent comps, the chances of quickly selling are still quite strong.
The real estate market in 新爱体育 continues to move along quite well, and we are still seeing many significant sales. Of the 69 new pended sales last month, 26 were homes priced over $4 million.
