St. George, Utah Housing Market Report | Updated Monthly
This is the St. George area market report that actually contains market data. Every month I publish the real numbers for Washington County: what homes sold for, how long they took, how much inventory buyers have to choose from, and what it means depending on which side of the transaction you're on. No hype in either direction. The numbers say what they say.

| Condos | $340,000 | 7 sold, thin volume |
The story this month is negotiating room. Over 1,000 listings are active across the area, roughly half of June's closings included a price cut before going under contract, and the busiest price band was $500K to $749K. Homes are still selling in about five weeks at 98% of asking, so this is not a falling-knife market, but the days of naming your price and getting it are over for sellers, and buyers have real selection for the first time in years. Mortgage rates helped at the margin, with the 30-year fixed easing to about 6.4% in early July, a multi-week low.
If you're buying: inventory over 1,000 units means you can be picky, and the price-cut share means sellers are listening to offers below list. New construction sweetens this further, with most builders advertising incentives right now. Get pre-approved, then negotiate like it's 2026, not 2021.
If you're selling: the median home still moves in 35 days, but half your competition had to cut price to get there. The difference between the homes that sell in week one and the ones that sit is preparation and accurate pricing on day one. That's exactly what a real home valuation is for.

How This Report Is Compiled
Numbers are compiled monthly from Washington County MLS-derived public sources, national mortgage rate surveys, and builder and permit data, then rounded sensibly. Different sources slice the market differently, so where measures disagree I say so rather than picking the flattering one. This is market-level data, which means it tells you what the county is doing, not what your house is worth. For that, the answer is a comparative market analysis against your actual competition, which I do at no cost: request a home value here.
FAQ: The St. George Housing Market
What is the median home price in St. George, Utah?
As of June 2026, the median sale price across the area was $502,250, with single-family homes at $550,000, townhomes at $328,000, and condos at $340,000. The busiest segment of the market is the $500K to $749K band.
Is the St. George housing market cooling?
It's rebalancing more than cooling. Homes still sell in about 35 days at 98% of asking price, which is a functioning market by any standard. But inventory has climbed past 1,000 active listings and roughly half of recent closings involved a price cut first, so pricing power has clearly shifted toward buyers compared to the frenzy years. Well-priced homes move; overpriced ones sit.
Is now a good time to buy a home in St. George?
Nobody can promise what prices do next, and anyone who does is selling something. What the data shows: the most selection in years, sellers accepting negotiation, builders offering real incentives, and rates off their highs at around 6.4%. Those are objectively better buying conditions than the recent past. Whether it's the right time for you depends on your finances and timeline, which is a conversation, not a headline.
Will St. George home prices drop?
The honest answer is that the data shows a market absorbing more inventory with modest price pressure, not a crash. Washington County keeps growing, building permits actually declined last year which limits oversupply, and demand from retirees and relocating buyers is structural. I update this page monthly, so the trend will show up here before it shows up in headlines.
