How long Utah and Idaho homes sit, and how many cut their price

Counties with at least 100 active listings and no Realtor.com data-quality flag in October 2026: 14 in Utah and 18 in Idaho, ordered from the shortest median time on market to the longest. Both charts use the same scales. Every county, ranked or not, is in the tables below and in the CSV.

For comparison, the U.S. median was 63 days and 20.5% of active U.S. listings had a price cut in October 2026. Source: Realtor.com® Economic Research, county, state and national monthly data.

Time on market rises and falls with the seasons, so this table compares the same month each year. October 2021 had the shortest median in both states in this window; every October since has been slower in both.

• Plan for a sale measured in months, not weeks. Utah listings had a median of 71 days on the market in October 2026; in October 2021 the median was 31. In Idaho the figures were 65 and 44 days. Budget for mortgage, utilities and upkeep over that stretch when you plan the timing of your move.
• A short time on market does not mean few price cuts. Davis County and Salt Lake County had the shortest medians of the 14 ranked Utah counties (56 and 62 days), yet about one in three of their active listings (32.5% and 32.4%) had a price cut in October 2026. In Kane County and Summit County, where the medians were 112 and 105 days, fewer than one in ten did (8.6% and 9.1%).
• Look at your county, not the state. Across the 32 ranked counties, medians ran from 46 days (Ada County, Idaho) to 137 days (Rich County, Utah). In 11 of 13 Utah counties and 13 of 16 Idaho counties with clean data for both years, listings sat longer than in October 2019.
• The month you list in moves these numbers. So far in 2026, Utah's statewide median ran from 53 days (March and May) to 85 days (January), and Idaho's from 44 days (May) to 80 days (January). That is why this study compares October with October. The month-by-month pattern for Utah's metro areas is in our guide, The best time of year to sell a house in Utah.

• Source: Realtor.com® Economic Research, Real Estate Data Library, monthly inventory core metrics (county, state and national history files), data through October 2026, published 4 November 2026. The files cover all homes listed for sale (single-family homes, condos and townhomes).
• Days on market is Realtor.com's median number of days listings spend on the market in a month. Its data library defines time on the market as "the time between the initial listing of a property and either its closing date or the date it is taken off the market."
• Price-cut share is Realtor.com's price_reduced_share: the share of active listings whose price was reduced during the month, as Realtor.com publishes it. We use the share as published and do not recompute it from the price-reduction counts.
• Counties are ranked only if they had at least 100 active listings in October 2026 and Realtor.com did not flag the county's October 2026 figures as outside their typical range. That leaves 14 of Utah's 29 counties and 18 of Idaho's 44. Every county is in the full table and the CSV.
• Comparisons with October 2019 skip counties whose October 2019 figures carry a Realtor.com quality flag (Rich County, Gem County, Fremont County).
• We compare the same month across years because time on market rises and falls with the seasons. Shares are rounded to one decimal place.

• These are listing figures, not closed sales. A listing taken off the market without selling still counts toward days on market.
• Realtor.com builds the data from MLS listings it receives, so homes sold without an MLS listing are not in it. Its October 2026 report adds that new construction is left out unless it is listed through an MLS that sends Realtor.com listing data.
• Medians describe the middle listing, not your home. Price, condition, location within the county and the month you list all change how long a specific home takes.
• Small counties move a lot from month to month. Realtor.com warns that data for smaller areas can be volatile and reissues its full history each month, so past values can change slightly.
• Realtor.com's downloadable files come from its long-running data pipeline; figures in its monthly press releases can differ slightly from them.
