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 midsize 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.
