They aren't moving yet and inventory is continuing to build. Prices will continue to drop if that trend holds. Utah sounds like its still pretty competitive and that seems to be altering a lot of peoples views. I have already seen 15% price cuts and almost double the inventory over last year in my market.

Yes, it won’t equal out. Housing will simply be more expensive until rates come
