The county number is a starting point, not your timeline. Utah County's median days on market for listings was 64 in September 2026 (Realtor.com Housing Inventory Core Metrics via FRED). City by city, the picture is wider than that one figure suggests.
Eight cities, eight different paces
Redfin's city pages, covering the three months ending August 2026, show these median days on market (Redfin):
| City | Median days on market | Same period last year |
|---|---|---|
| Provo | 32 | 29 |
| Orem | 38 | 35 |
| Pleasant Grove | 39 | 34 |
| Lehi | 40 | 44 |
| American Fork | 42 | 37 |
| Springville | 47 | 46 |
| Saratoga Springs | 48 | 68 |
| Spanish Fork | 50 | 48 |
That is an 18-day spread between Provo and Spanish Fork. Redfin measures days on market differently from the county series, so compare cities to each other, not to the 64-day county figure.

Plan around your city
- Use your city's number. A Provo listing and a Spanish Fork listing face different calendars.
- Check last year too. The change from last year tells you whether your city is speeding up or slowing down.
- Price for the final number. With sale-to-list between 98.6% and 99.9%, homes that sold closed near their final asking price.
