Riverton UT: Homes For Sale Observations:

Riverton Utah, like its neighbors, although to a lesser extent,Herriman and So. Jordan has  experienced rapid growth and tremendous expansion over the last few years.  By continuing to only allow development of larger lots, thus retaining the image of a farming or ranching community and maintained a niche market thatwas less impacted by the mortgage hassles that have nailed other Utah communities. 

You wont find many Town homes or condominiums in this rural community but if your interest is in Horse Property, Ranchettes or small acreage, Riverton is your kind of place. . Less than 10% of the standing inventory in Riverton is "distressed property" and a high percentage of those foreclosures and REOs is New Construction. Our observation is that this trend could continue for as long as 12 months, and longer if interest rates on home mortgages should increase significantly during that time.

Note that from the report we see,  that the median listed sales price which indicates as many homes for sale above a price as there are below it, is $336,950 while the average price is over $372,459 dollars.

The price difference between homes (average) that are listed (what sellers are asking) and houses/condominiums under contract (what buyers are paying) is over $50,000 dollars.This would indicate among other things that there is the possibility of further erosion of house values. Distressed homes IE: Short Sales, Bank Owned, (REOs), foreclosures and HUD Homes are only 9.6% of the Riverton's houses listed for sale on the MLS.

Opportunities still exist for Investors and move up families that want to take advantage of a strong buyers market. New home construction is still a play as many builders have overbuilt in sub-divisions like  Heritage, Mountain View, Riverton Meadows, Thaxton Acres, and Riverton Gardens. 

To search all of the 328 homes for sale in Riverton,  UT, as well as over 8000 houses listed in the Salt Lake Valley, stop by our website at Salt Lake Homes and see photos, map, prices, directions and basically the same information your Realtor uses to provide you house/condo searches.
