SALT LAKE CITY — A study from the Porch.com shows how quickly Utah homes sold and for how much in 2021.

Utah tied for fourth in the nation looking at the median number of days a home stayed on the market at 14 days; just two weeks from listing to accepting an offer.

The study also shows the median price for a home in Utah in 2021 was about $478,000. By that measure, Utah has the seventh most expensive homes in the nation.
