Wasatch Back Quarterly Market Reports 2019 Q3 Wasatch Back Market Report | Page 2
ABOUT THIS REPORT
This comprehensive third quarter report provides an overview
of the Summit and Wasatch County real estate markets. We
believe it’s important that our clients have access to information
that facilitates thoughtful real estate decisions. These markets
remain highly segmented. Our town, its neighborhoods and
outlying areas differ significantly in terms of price, home type,
home condition, features, and amenities.

As we progress through 2019, economists and business
professionals are debating the timing of the next recession. While
a correction is inevitable, we believe real estate will not lead the
way as it did in the Great Recession of 2008. The cause of that
recession was a bubble in the housing market created by lack
of discipline and oversight in the mortgage industry. Historically,
housing does quite well in lower interest rate environments.

Current positive indicators for real estate include:
1. Tighter mortgage underwriting standards
2. Near historical low interest rates
3. Relative global “safety” in US investments
4. The strength of Utah’s economy and population growth
5. Generally constrained inventory
Real estate remains a very local business. Data interpretation,
judgement and historical context are key elements to making
informed decisions. Contact your Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices Utah Properties agent for guidance on navigating

*Data as of 10/1/2019
*Please note small sample size in some instances.
For all data, we have used median sales price and average sales price. The median is the middle point
of all prices—half the sales are less than the median and half the sales are more. The average is all the
property prices added together and then divided by the number of properties. The difference between
the median and the average is that the median is not as affected by outlying very large or very small sale
numbers, whereas the average can be skewed significantly by one very high or very low sales price.
We believe it’s important to use both median and average in order to give a holistic view of the market.
