Home and Land Overview
Huntsville Hobby Farms recorded higher-priced activity in 2025 than in 2024. In 2025, home sales on parcels generally between 1 and 6 acres closed from ~$675,000 to $2,695,000, with typical transactions clustering near the $1.2M to $1.3M level. In 2024, home sales were more limited, with prices largely falling between the mid-$700,000s and the high-$1Ms.
Average days on market increased in 2025, commonly landing between 60 and 120 days, compared to shorter marketing periods in 2024. Most 2025 sales closed at roughly 95–98% of original list price, indicating realistic pricing remained critical.
Land transactions were infrequent in both years, with wider dispersion in acreage and pricing and longer exposure times. At year-end 2025, only a small number of active listings were available, equating to roughly 4–6 months of inventory. Overall conditions pointed to a balanced but selective market, especially for improved properties.
Area Build-Out and Demand
Buyer demand in 2025 favored move-in-ready homes with usable ground, water rights, and outbuildings. Vacant land sales occurred less often and required longer decision timelines. Cash transactions were more common at higher price points, while financed buyers remained active in the $700,000 to $1.3M range, typically with standard due diligence periods.
Ogden Valley Market Context
Across Ogden Valley, 2025 posted slightly firmer pricing with more activity than 2024. Median $/SF rose from $352 to $356. Closed sales increased from 117 to 138, while new listings inched up from 230 to 236.
Average days on market moved from 57 to 68, showing buyers took longer to commit. Median sold price eased from $1,140,000 to $1,111,000, driven more by the mix of homes sold than broad price softening.
2026 Predictions
The National Association of Realtors projects improved housing activity in 2026, with existing home sales rising about 14% and new construction up roughly 3%. Median home prices are forecast to increase approximately 4%, while mortgage rates are expected to hover near 6% throughout the year.
This outlook generally aligns with Ogden Valley, where limited inventory continues to support pricing despite selective buyers.
