Salt Lake Home Prices on the Rise in May 2013


Salt Lake home sales were again strong in May 2013, with 1,196 homes sold, the most seen since May 2007. On the back of strong single family home sales prices continued to rise, increasing 16.23% to $249,900. Sellers in the current market are in a strong position, getting on average almost the full asking price, with the median asking price of $250,000 and a median sales price of $249,900.

One piece of bad news for buyers is the recent increase in interest rates. The more interest rates go up the less buyers can afford, which may do one of two things. Those buyers that have been on the fence may decide to get in before it’s too late, or may just decide not to bother at all.
