East Bench Market Resilience
The Central East Bench neighborhood of Ogden demonstrated steady market resilience between the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025, with moderate pricing growth and stable listing activity despite shifting buyer behavior. While sales volume softened slightly, the area continued to attract demand, supported by its established appeal and attainable price point.
Closed sales declined from 20 homes in Q4 2024 to 14 homes in Q4 2025, reflecting a slowdown in transaction velocity. At the same time, new listings dipped only marginally, from 16 to 15 homes, indicating that supply remained relatively consistent year over year. This balance between listings and sales suggests a market that cooled modestly but did not experience excess inventory.
Median days on market increased sharply from 13 days to 39 days, signaling more cautious and price-conscious buyers. Despite longer marketing times, pricing trends remained positive. The median sold price rose from $458,950 in Q4 2024 to $467,000 in Q4 2025, while the median asking price also increased, pointing to continued confidence among sellers and stable buyer support at higher price levels.
Outlook for 2026
Looking ahead, the Central East Bench is expected to remain a balanced market in 2026. Moderate inventory levels and gradual price appreciation should continue, though longer days on market are likely to persist. Sellers who price competitively and present homes well should see success, while buyers may benefit from increased negotiating leverage compared to prior years.
