Ogden Valley Area Real Estate Market Update
January 2026 vs. December 2025
As we move into the new year, the January market statistics are giving us our first glimpse into what 2026 may hold for buyers and sellers across the greater Ogden area. While it’s typical to see a seasonal shift following the holidays, this year’s numbers reveal some meaningful trends worth noting.
Across Ogden Valley, inventory increased in both the single-family and condo markets as new listings came online in January. Although the number of closed sales dipped slightly month-over-month, median sold prices for single-family homes rose significantly — an indication that higher-end or larger properties made up a greater share of recent transactions. At the same time, the average price per square foot declined, reinforcing the idea that buyers are prioritizing size and overall value. Encouragingly for sellers, homes that did sell in January spent less time on the market than they did in December, suggesting that properly priced properties are still attracting strong interest and moving efficiently.
The condo market in Ogden Valley saw very limited sales activity in January, making median price comparisons less reliable month-to-month. However, the sharp drop in days on market points to continued demand for well-priced units. Buyers remain active in this segment but are clearly price conscious and selective in today’s environment.
In Mountain Green, the number of active listings increased substantially in January while the number of homes sold declined — another common seasonal trend. Despite this, median sold prices rose and homes that closed in January did so significantly faster than in December. Similar to Ogden Valley, a slight decrease in price per square foot indicates that larger homes were driving much of the recent activity.
The Ogden Bench market is showing signs of softening as we start the year. With more homes available and slightly fewer sales, both median sold price and price per square foot declined from December levels. Homes are also taking a bit longer to sell, pointing to growing pricing sensitivity among buyers and a gradual shift toward more balanced — or even buyer-leaning — conditions.
Meanwhile, North Ogden experienced growth in both inventory and closed sales in January. Median sold prices increased notably, even as the price per square foot declined. This again suggests that buyers are purchasing larger homes, but with more options available, negotiating leverage may be beginning to tilt in buyers’ favor. Days on market remained relatively steady month-over-month.
Overall, January brought an increase in available inventory across all local markets, paired with modestly slower sales activity in most areas. Median home prices held steady or increased in several segments, while declining price per square foot trends point to changing buyer preferences rather than weakening demand. For sellers, accurate pricing is becoming increasingly important as buyers grow more selective. For buyers, rising inventory and improved value metrics may create new opportunities as we head into the spring market.
