When your lifestyle evolves, it’s natural for your demand for housing to evolve too. Maybe you’re ready to expand into a home—one with an extra room, a larger garage, or maybe a nice
backyard. The thing is, deciding to sell is one thing, ensuring you’re getting the best price is another.
For most of us, our homes are the largest asset we’ll ever own. As you consider selling your home, you deserve the insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. Here are the
top things to know about the St George UT real estate market right now:
Inventory Is Down and Demand Is Up
With the inherently limited number of properties and consistently high demand, St. George regularly sees a boost in sale prices. In 2024, fewer homes were listed than in years past—continuing to push sale prices even higher. The median sales price increased from $490,000 in July 2023 to $502,450 in July 2024, marking a rise of 2.54%. In July, the sale-to-list percentage—the measure of how close the actual sale price was to the original list price—was 97.36%, reflecting strong market performance in this metric. To capitalize on your home’s equity, you want to work with a real estate expert who understands how to strategically price and market your home so you get MAXIMUM return.
Median Sale Price is Still on the Rise
When correctly priced and positioned well on the market, homes are selling at or above list price—often in fewer days on market. The median sale price reached a record-breaking $502,450 in July, highlighting a strong upward trend. Days on market remained at 66 days in July 2024, consistent with last year, reflecting a stable market. These statistics underscore the importance of a strategic marketing plan when selling your largest financial asset—and that’s why you deserve a plan designed to maximize your return.

Here’s what we’ll be watching over the coming months:
1. Low Supply of Available Homes
St. George had low inventory in July, likely due to increased activity, and there’s no telling when it will slow down. With inventory low and the median sale price steadily increasing—up 2.54% in July 2024 compared to July 2023—sellers who work with an expert to properly position themselves on the market can generally expect to secure a nice return.
2. Buyers Are Eagerly Searching
Buyers are eager to scoop up the available inventory. Days on market remained at 66 days in July 2024, consistent with last year, reflecting a stable market.
