Is Now a Good Time to Sell in St. George? (2026 Check-In)

Short version: the numbers still favor sellers, but this isn’t the frantic, ten-offers-in-a-weekend market from a few years back. It’s calmer than that, and steadier, which is arguably a better position to sell from, not a worse one.

Where the market actually sits right now

The median sale price across St. George is sitting around $470,000, and homes are taking a median of 35 days to go under contract. Sellers are getting 97.1% of asking price on average, meaning most homes are closing within a few percent of list, not getting chipped down in negotiation.

Housing supply is running around two months. As a rule of thumb, real estate agents consider anything under three months of supply a seller’s market, four to six months balanced, and six or more favoring buyers. Two months puts Washington County solidly in seller’s-market territory.

The trend line matters as much as the snapshot

Homes sold in the first half of 2026 were up 3.5% year over year, and values here have climbed roughly 14.6% over the past five years. That’s healthy, sustained growth rather than a sharp spike: the kind of pattern that tends to hold up better than a boom does when it eventually cools.

Some of that demand is coming from outside Utah entirely. Retirees trading snow for red rock, and a steady stream of California buyers priced out of their own state, have kept buyer demand here more consistent than in a lot of other mid-size markets.

What this means if you’re actually deciding

Fast days on market and a sale-to-list ratio near 100% tell you buyers are competing for well-priced homes, not waiting them out. If your home is in reasonable condition and priced to the current market rather than to what a neighbor got two years ago, current conditions are on your side.

None of this replaces knowing your own number. Market averages tell you the temperature; they don’t tell you what your specific property, on your specific street, would actually bring.
