DESCRIPTION

Ten years can change a market. Twenty years can rewrite the entire map. We pull real St. George and Washington County real estate numbers from 2006, 2016, and 2026 and compare them head-to-head, including what happened before, during, and after the crash that reshaped so many homeowners’ lives.

We talk listing price vs sold price, why the “average” can get dragged around by luxury homes, and why median price often gives a cleaner read on what most buyers and sellers will actually face. If you’ve ever looked at a headline stat and thought, “That can’t be right,” this breakdown shows exactly how outliers like $3M to $10M properties skew the story, and how to interpret local housing data with more confidence.

If you’re trying to decide whether to buy, sell, or wait, this is the kind of honest, local market talk that helps you think clearly. Subscribe for more St. George real estate insights, share this with a friend who’s on the fence, and leave a review so more locals can find the show.
