Our local real estate market began an incredible upswing during last year's third quarter, with sales shattering previous records. The remarkable activity extended throughout the latter half of 2020 and has continued unabated through the third quarter of 2021.

The housing market appears to be strong, despite the fears that it might be overheating. There are consistent financial indicators to show that this boom won't end like the 2008 housing crash, with the lack of available inventory continuing to drive price appreciation. At the end of September 2021, there were only 394 residential properties for sale across the entire marketplace, an 80% decline from the previous year.

Despite fluctuations in the regional markets, single family sales activity on a region-wide basis was markedly up compared to the year prior, with unit sales up 16% and median prices up 50%.

Land sales exploded in the third quarter, as buyers who could not find an existing home to their liking elected instead to buy land to build their own. While the summer spike in lumber prices abated somewhat, many land buyers intending to build homes had to defer groundbreaking because of the backlog of pending orders with most architects and home builders. Sales transactions and dollar volume were both up triple digit percentages in almost all primary service areas, including Snyderville Basin and Jordanelle. Overall land sales in Summit and Wasatch counties were up 76%.
The price increase expected when supply decreases pushed the median sales price for land region-wide up 71% to $490,000. Snyderville Basin and Jordanelle areas both saw sales transactions doubling over the previous year. Jordanelle led the way with 466 lots sold and a median price increase to $450,000 (up 57%). Jordanelle, Park City Limits, Snyderville, and Heber Valley all saw a substantial increases in sales volume and transactions sold for 2021.
