Salt Lake County’s housing market accelerated through the first half of 2026. A combined 5,996 residential properties sold in Q1 and Q2—generating nearly $4 billion in transaction volume. The median single-family home reached $655,000 in June, and homes are selling in under a month. Median days on market dropped sharply from January to March, sale-to-list ratios climbed toward 98%–99%, and the spring selling season arrived right on schedule.
For the full prior-year picture, see our 2025 Salt Lake County Market Report. Below is the complete Q1 and Q2 2026 data for Salt Lake County, pulled directly from the Wasatch Front Regional MLS. I’ve included median and average sold prices, days on market, sale-to-list ratios, price per square foot, and—most importantly—what these numbers mean for your wallet as a buyer or seller using DiscountAgent.com.

Median Sold Price Trends — Q1 2026
Single-family homes, townhomes, and condos — January through March.
Single-Family Home Sales — Q1 2026
| Month | Sales | Median Sold | Avg Sold | Mdn $/SqFt | Sale-to-List | Mdn DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 477 | $620,000 | $765,290 | $247.64 | 95% | 48 |

| Mar | 764 | $609,950 | $724,780 | $254.09 | 98% | 33 |
Key trend: Sales volume jumped 60% from January (477) to March (764) as the spring market kicked in. Median days on market dropped from 48 to 33, and the sale-to-list ratio climbed from 95% to 98%—meaning homes listed in March sold much closer to asking price. The median single-family home in Salt Lake County sold for $609,950 in March.
Townhome Sales — Q1 2026
| Month | Sales | Median Sold | Avg Sold | Mdn $/SqFt | Sale-to-List | Mdn DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 93 | $436,275 | $457,400 | $251.23 | 97% | 56 |
| Feb | 113 | $450,000 | $460,084 | $248.69 | 97% | 51 |
| Mar | 146 | $445,000 | $473,290 | $260.06 | 98% | 30 |
Key trend: Townhome DOM dropped dramatically from 56 days in January to just 30 days in March. The median price held steady in the $436K–$450K range. Townhomes showed the strongest sale-to-list performance, reaching 98% in March—sellers are getting very close to full asking price.
Condo Sales — Q1 2026
| Month | Sales | Median Sold | Avg Sold | Mdn $/SqFt | Sale-to-List | Mdn DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 75 | $335,000 | $413,270 | $285.95 | 93% | 84 |
| Feb | 93 | $330,000 | $369,638 | $292.32 | 96% | 70 |
| Mar | 148 | $360,000 | $450,885 | $305.28 | 97% | 42 |
Key trend: Condos showed the biggest improvement through Q1. Sales nearly doubled from 75 in January to 148 in March. DOM dropped by half (84 to 42), and the sale-to-list ratio jumped from 93% to 97%. The median sold price rose from $335K to $360K—a 7.5% jump in just three months. The wide gap between median ($360K) and average ($450K) sold prices indicates significant activity in higher-end condo markets.
Days on Market — How Fast Homes Sold
Q2 2026 Update • Published July 2026
Q2 2026 (April–June): The Spring Market Delivered
Salt Lake County’s spring market delivered exactly what Q1 promised. A total of 3,470 residential properties sold in Q2 2026—up 37% from Q1’s 2,526—generating over $2.31 billion in transaction volume. The median single-family home hit $655,000 in June, the highest monthly median of the year, while days on market for single-family homes dropped to just 25–26 days all quarter.
Here’s the complete Q2 data, pulled directly from the Wasatch Front Regional MLS, plus how the quarter compares to Q1.

Q1 vs Q2 2026: Quarter-over-Quarter Comparison
| Metric | Q1 2026 | Q2 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Sales | 2,526 | 3,470 | +37% |
| Total Volume | $1.66B | $2.31B | +39% |
| SF Median (end of quarter) | $609,950 | $655,000 | +7.4% |
| TH Median (end of quarter) | $445,000 | $462,980 | +4.0% |
| Condo Median (end of quarter) | $360,000 | $341,451 | −5.2% |
| SF Median DOM (end of quarter) | 33 days | 26 days | 7 days faster |
The takeaway: Single-family homes led the quarter—prices up, speed up, volume up. Townhomes followed the same trajectory at a gentler slope. Condos were the outlier: monthly medians bounced between $335K and $350K with no clear direction, and the June median ($341,451) landed below March’s $360K peak. If you own a single-family home in Salt Lake County, Q2 2026 was one of the strongest selling windows in years.
Single-Family Home Sales — Q2 2026
| Month | Sales | Median Sold | Avg Sold | Mdn $/SqFt | Sale-to-List | Mdn DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr | 794 | $638,475 | $745,919 | $262.97 | 99% | 26 |
| May | 841 | $639,900 | $734,699 | $255.62 | 98% | 25 |
| Jun | 873 | $655,000 | $763,121 | $260.24 | 98% | 26 |
Key trend: Single-family homes kept climbing all quarter—873 June sales was the strongest month of 2026 so far, and the $655,000 June median is up $45,050 from March. Homes moved in 25–26 days at 98–99% of list price. Sellers who listed in Q2 caught the strongest single-family market in years.
Townhome Sales — Q2 2026
| Month | Sales | Median Sold | Avg Sold | Mdn $/SqFt | Sale-to-List | Mdn DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr | 176 | $439,542 | $449,839 | $257.97 | 99% | 41 |
| May | 175 | $445,000 | $470,566 | $259.40 | 98% | 41 |
| Jun | 200 | $462,980 | $479,731 | $247.36 | 97% | 37 |
Key trend: Townhome medians rose every month—$439,542 to $445,000 to $462,980—a 5.3% climb within the quarter. June’s 200 sales was the strongest townhome month of the year. Interesting detail: June’s median $/sqft actually dropped to $247.36 while the median price rose, which means buyers bought bigger townhomes in June, not just pricier ones.
Condo Sales — Q2 2026
| Month | Sales | Median Sold | Avg Sold | Mdn $/SqFt | Sale-to-List | Mdn DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr | 134 | $350,000 | $456,317 | $300.05 | 95% | 42 |
| May | 144 | $335,000 | $470,284 | $296.18 | 95% | 50 |
| Jun | 133 | $341,451 | $389,614 | $290.02 | 98% | 47 |
Key trend: Condos were the buyer’s opportunity of Q2. While single-family and townhome prices climbed, condo medians drifted between $335K–$350K, DOM stayed in the 42–50 day range, and median $/sqft actually declined each month ($300 → $296 → $290). The bright spot: June’s sale-to-list ratio jumped to 98%, meaning well-priced condos are closing near asking—the slowness is concentrated in overpriced inventory. For buyers, this is the most negotiable segment of the Salt Lake County market right now.
Your Commission Savings at Q2 2026 Prices
Higher medians mean higher commission—and bigger savings with a performance-based listing. At June 2026 median prices:

| Condo | $341,451 | $10,244 | $5,122 | $5,122–$6,829 |
Savings range: lower figure = 1.5% DA listing vs 3% traditional. Upper figure = 1% (you find buyer) vs 3% traditional. Buyer agent commission is separate.
Buyers: on the June median single-family home, the 50% commission rebate returns approximately $8,188 at closing (based on a 2.5% buyer agent commission). How the performance-based listing works • How the buyer rebate works
