Where are you finding 10,000 leads a day though?

Here’s what the latest data says about Utah’s real estate market as of mid-2025:

• Median sale price: $563,600 (+1.4% YoY)  

• Inventory: ~19,600 active listings (a 21.6% YoY increase)  

• Homes are staying listed longer: median ~45 days on market

Despite rising supply, prices remain stable—highlighting constrained new construction and ongoing demand. 

  • If you’re actively investing or buying, how are you using current inventory trends to your advantage?

  • If you’re an agent or investor, what tactics are working for you right now?

Locally in Utah, I’ve noticed fewer investors competing on every deal — but the ones who are still active seem much more selective, targeting homes that sit and negotiating hard.

If you’re investing right now, are you pulling back and waiting for the market to shift more, or just being more picky about the deals you chase?

Curious what strategies you use when your buyer wants a house but their current home hasn’t sold yet. Do you mostly rely on extensions, rent-backs, or bridge loans? I’m running into this timing challenge right now and want to see how others make it work smoothly.

I’m working with clients right now who want to buy a home, but we need to sell their current house first before we can move forward. We’re in a spot where we’ll likely need to ask the seller for an extension to make the timing work.

For those of you who’ve been through this before, do you usually just ask for extensions in situations like this, or are there other creative options people use to make the deal smoother? Curious how others have navigated the timing challenge of selling before buying.

@Ryan Spath Thanks for sharing Ryan, It sounds like everything is started to heat up over there which is good.

I’m in Utah, and while a lot of markets around the country seem to be heating back up, we’re still very much in a buyer’s market here. Plenty of homes are sitting without selling, and buyers have more leverage than we’ve seen in years. Curious — are you seeing your markets shift back toward sellers, or are buyers still holding the upper hand where you are?

@Oleg Donets How do I start getting into wholesaling?

Interesting to see Austin still pretty competitive. In Utah right now we’re actually seeing more of a buyer’s market — plenty of homes sitting on the market without selling, which is opening up opportunities for buyers who are ready to act.

Joseph, lenders usually won’t count income if there’s a WARN notice, even if paychecks are still coming for a couple months. That means qualifying on your wife’s income alone might be the only option right now unless you secure a new job first.

A couple things to consider:

• Some lenders can work with strong assets/reserves, but steady income is key.
• Best next step is to talk with a lender directly so you know where you stand before making offers.

The fact that you already have a paid-off primary definitely helps strengthen your position. I’m a local agent here in Utah and see buyers run into similar lender hurdles — happy to connect you with someone if you’d like a second opinion.
