Despite the strong price momentum (+62.5% MoM), inventory is abundant: 69 single‑family homes and 70 condos are active, and only 27 transactions closed in the past three months. The resulting days‑on‑market of 222 days (vs. 72 statewide) and a sale‑to‑list ratio of 95.8% suggest buyers are more cautious, tempering what would otherwise be a hot market.

Economic fundamentals are mixed but leaning toward stability. Mortgage rates have edged higher over the past 30 days, with the 30‑year rate climbing from 6.24% to 6.35%, while the 15‑year rate rose modestly to 5.69%. Unemployment remains low and unchanged (U.S. 4.3%, Utah 3.6%), and consumer sentiment has steadied around 56.4. Housing starts and permits are holding steady, supporting a continued flow of new units. City‑specific news—Echo Canyon’s mixed‑use development and the Grand County rezoning of 235 acres for tourism—could boost demand for both primary residences and short‑term rentals, but the current surplus of listings and rising financing costs keep the market in a balanced, not overheated, state. The market temperature is rated "balanced." Moab’s median home price is about 24% above the Utah median ($645K vs $518.9K) while homes sit on the market more than three times longer than the state average (222 days vs 72 days).
