Market Analysis With an Appraiser's Eye | Updated Monthly
Also available: January 2026
Current Edition: February 2026
This tier-based analysis isn't marketing, it's data-driven methodology applied to help buyers make informed decisions.
My background as a certified residential appraiser means I approach every market analytically. I began analyzing Salt Lake real estate through an appraiser's lens 20 years ago — now I help buyers navigate these same markets.
FEBRUARY 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
Classic Homes: $760,000 median
→ Strong seller's market (0.9 months supply — unchanged)
→ Spring shift: active listings running 10.5% above the sold median
→ Strategy: Run comps before you offer. Sellers have ambition; the market doesn't yet agree.
Forever Homes: $1,250,000 median
→ Seller's market with room to negotiate (2.1 months supply)
→ Pace tightening — fast sales doubled month-over-month
→ Strategy: Time still on your side, but spring is narrowing the window
The Spring Pricing Shift
→ Both tiers entered February with aspirational pricing
→ Sold/list ratios held steady — buyers are paying market, not the ask
→ The gap isn't a new reality. It's a seasonal signal. Comps are your anchor.
