Washington County Utah Residential Market Snapshot: October 2022

 

Along with cooler Fall weather, the real estate market has started to do the same. Inventory in Southern Utah has increased and that is advantageous to buyers looking to purchase in the local area.

 

A more affordable option when buying in surrounding rural towns, like Cedar City, New Castle, Kanab, Orderville, Central and Enterprise. Purchasing homes in those areas because may fall within a fixed budget. They drive is further to St. George proper but home buyer goals can be achieved.

Hi Wanda... excellent report... home prices have really taken a hit. Good news for buyers... less so for sellers.

Yes they have, Nina Hollander, Broker. I went on a listing appointment yesterday and was asked how far prices have fallen. I gave him an example and he was very surprised!

Hi Wanda,
Excellent report. The market in your area is definitely seeing a shift.  Perhaps that will help buyers offset the higher interest rates.

Am hoping so, Carol Williams. Looking for a cute house for a couple that will soon marry, the interest rate is a tough one for buyers on the lower end. They are competing with cash investors!

Thankfully, there are buyers and sellers in any and all markets, Lise Howe! Otherwise, real estate would come to a standstill and that is not happening.

The graphs definitely show that things are slowing down a bit in your area and I would think it might be getting cold there as well, right?

Temperatures in the St. George area are in the 50s today because it is raining, Brian England. The same for the rest of the week. Is that what you mean by cold?

Nah, I can handle 50's, any colder than that I would consider cold though, haha.
