Dr. Haws' Market Diagnosis — March 2026
"Utah's housing market in 2026 is what I call a 'controlled seller's market.' Prices are appreciating, but not at the unsustainable pace of 2021–2022. Inventory is improving, giving buyers more options than they've had in years. Interest rates remain the biggest headwind — but buyers who wait for rates to drop may find themselves competing against more buyers when they do. My advice: buy now in the right neighborhood, and refinance when rates drop."

Modest 3–5% appreciation expected through 2026, driven by continued population growth and limited new construction inventory.
Rates expected to remain in the 6.25–7.25% range through 2026. A Fed rate cut could push rates below 6% by late 2026.
Inventory improving but still below historical norms. Buyers have more choices than 2021–2022, but it's still a seller's market in most Utah cities.
Builder activity is up 18% YoY in Davis and Weber counties. New communities in Syracuse, West Haven, and Eagle Mountain are adding supply.
Utah continues to attract out-of-state buyers, particularly from California, Washington, and Colorado. This demand floor keeps prices stable.
Rental vacancy rates remain below 4% statewide. Investment properties in Ogden and Layton offer strong cap rates of 5–7%.
