Wondering how long your home will sit on the market in Salt Lake County?

The answer depends on pricing, condition, location — and real-time market data. Here's what the latest numbers say, and what you can do to help your home sell faster in 2025.

⏳ Average Days on Market in 2025

So far this year (January 1 – today), homes across Salt Lake County are spending an average of 56 cumulative days on market (CDOM) — a critical metric that shows how long a listing is active before going under contract.

🏠 What Is CDOM — and Why It Matters

CDOM stands for Cumulative Days on Market. It includes:

• The total number of days a property has been listed (even across multiple listings)
• It resets if the property is withdrawn for a time, but agents and buyers can still access it

A high CDOM can signal to buyers that a home is overpriced or has issues. A low CDOM often means the property is well-priced and desirable.

🔍 Factors That Affect Time on Market

Here’s what can speed up — or slow down — your home sale in Salt Lake County:

• Pricing: Homes priced competitively based on local comps sell faster.
• Condition & Updates: Staged, well-maintained homes generate more showings.
• Location: Neighborhoods like Daybreak or areas near TRAX stations often sell quicker due to demand.
• Marketing Strategy: Strong listing photography, digital ads, and local SEO all help shorten market time.
• Seasonality: Homes sell quicker in spring/summer. Winter listings typically see longer CDOM.

✅ What You Can Do to Sell Faster

If your goal is to avoid sitting on the market too long — or dropping your price later — here’s what we recommend:

1. Get a home valuation with a hyper-local agent (not just an online estimator)
2. Price it right from day one — don’t “test the market”
3. Work with a team that has a local marketing plan
4. Consider pre-inspections, staging, and pro photography
