What Does This Mean For Buyers In St George Utah?
Buyers searching for homes to buy in St. George face a market of rising prices and too few homes to choose from. The benefit for buyers is that there is less competition for homes and buyers are able to pay slightly less than full asking price for a home.
Inventory levels have only slightly decreased year to year, falling from 4.2 months of inventory at this time in 2023 to just 4 months of inventory available so far in 2024.
Buyers can take advantage of the slowdown in activity by leveraging their offer to get more value for their money. The St. George real estate market is in a seasonal downturn, and the coming spring season may see competition for homes increase. Buyers who find the perfect property should have financing in place and be ready to act when a home is found.
What Does This Mean For Sellers?
The real estate market for homes in St. George continues to favor sellers as there is less than six months of inventory available. Sellers have to be patient in dynamic markets like St. George. While there is a slight drawback in demand, this is typical for this time of year.
Demand for homes continues, however, as there has been month to month increases in the sold price to list price ratio for sellers. Sellers may see their home stay on the market a little longer than average at this time of year. As we head in to the spring season, sellers should see an increase in activity. Seasonal trends indicate that there will be an increase in buying activity. Sellers should add extra touches to their home that will make their property stand out. Price is not always the only thing that matters to buyers and sellers should find ways to maximize the value of their property to facilitate a quick sale.
