经济概述
犹他州在过去的12个月里增加了41,200个非农就业岗位,增长率为2.8%。 尽管该地区的就业增长放缓,但经济正处于充分就业状态,这限制了可以创造多少新的就业机会。 In last quarter’s report, I forecasted that the pace of employment growth was likely to kick back up during the last quarter of the year, but any substantial gains have, so far, failed to materialize; 平均每月的就业增长基本上是静态的。 也就是说,悦博体育仍在等待12月份的数据,我相信最终的年度数据会更高。
11月,失业率为3.2%,与2016年第四季度持平。 With the unemployment rate leveling around 3%, it is unsurprising to see wages rising. 年工资比去年同期增长了2.8%。
房屋销售活动
- 2017年最后一个季度有8529套房屋销售,比2016年同期下降1.8%。
- Similar to third quarter, sales rose in just two of the counties analyzed in this report: small Morgan County saw sales grow 50% year-over-year—it’s worth noting though that this equates to an increase of only eight units—and there were moderate sales increases in Utah County. 盐湖城县和韦伯县的销量略有下降,而瓦萨奇县和戴维斯县的销量下降幅度更大。
- 房屋销售继续受到非常低的库存水平的抑制。 上市活动继续保持远低于历史平均水平的趋势,第四季度待售房屋总数较上年同期下降33.7%。
- 这份报告的结论是,除非悦博体育看到房源大幅增加,否则销售增长将继续保持在平均水平以下。

房价
鉴于第四季度少数待售房屋的竞争相当激烈,房价继续以相当快的速度上涨。 该地区的房价同比上涨11.6%,平均为342,507美元。- 瓦萨奇县的房价涨幅最大,上涨了22%。
- 萨米特县、盐湖城县、犹他州和韦伯县的房价也出现了大幅上涨,涨幅达到了两位数。
- 供需之间的不平衡仍然存在,这悦博体育房价继续以高于平均水平的速度升值。 This is likely to continue for the foreseeable future as inventory levels are unlikely to rise sufficiently to meet demand.

上市天数
- 与2016年第四季度相比,出售房屋所需的平均天数增加了一天。
- It took an average of one month to sell a home in Davis County. Sales were also brisk in Weber, Salt Lake, and Utah Counties.
- During the fourth quarter, it took an average of 50 days to sell a home in the region.
- 我相信,当悦博体育进入传统上活跃的春季市场时,出售房子所需的时间将会下降。 也就是说,销售将受到库存限制的限制。

结论
This speedometer reflects the state of the region’s housing market using housing inventory, price gains, home sales, interest rates, and larger economic factors. 对于2017年第四季度,我在第三季度的同一点离开了针。 供应问题持续存在,这继续造成对价格合理、位置优越的住房的竞争。 The increase we’re seeing in the amount of time it takes to sell a home may suggest that the market is either getting weary of all the competition or buyers are delaying their purchase until there are more homes to choose from.
