Median Price Per Sq. Ft. Hits Highest Level Since November 2009


In March 2013 the median Salt Lake Home price per sq. ft. hit the highest level since November 2009. The median price per sq. ft. stood at $97.83, a substantial gain of 17.36% over the last year. A combination of strong demand among buyers and a shortage of Salt Lake Utah homes for sale meant that any homes listed on the market were in strong demand, often resulting in a quick sale and in the lower price ranges multiple offers. This market will continue to perform well while ever the inventory level remains constrained. The advent of spring should introduce more homes to the market, but along with this it is also expected to introduce more buyers. The data so far for April appears to continue the upward trend, with homes continuing to sell faster for more money. Of course there can be no guarantee that the recovery will continue but all the indicators are looking positive at the moment.
Median Home Price: $209,270
Homes Sold: 1,099
Median Price Per Square Ft: $97.83
Median Days on Market: 32 days
