What Does This Mean For Buyers In St George Utah?
If you are actively looking for a home to buy in St. George, Utah, there is some good news. Home prices are lower this month than one year ago, and there is more inventory available. Homes are sitting on the market for a longer period of time and this may help to drive prices further downward. Home buyers are being able to acquire homes for less than the listing price, although competition is starting to increase.
Over the next couple of months, buyers may see a slight increase in competition for homes. While homes are being purchased for less than asking, this trend is starting to reverse. Buyers should be aware that as interest rates increase their purchasing power erodes. If you find a property that meets your needs, buyers should have financing in place and be ready to act.
What Does This Mean For Sellers In St George Utah?
The market for homes in St. George continues to favor sellers. While home values have fallen slightly year to year, they are still well above seasonal averages. The summer season has brought out buyers who have been on the sidelines, which has reversed the monthly trend of increasing the number of days on the market before a home is sold. The sale price to list price ratio for sellers has increased month to month, up from 95% to 96% at the end of June. As the season continues sellers can expect to see competition for sought-after homes. Sellers who have a strategy and are properly positioned in the market will see their home sell quickly.
As 2023 continues sellers should be aware that as interest rates increase and inflationary pressures still remain, the market could downshift. This could mean properties may stay on the market longer or sales prices have to be reduced.
