What Does This Recognition Mean for St. George Buyers and Sellers?

For buyers and sellers, the ranking shows that The Ames Team is actively involved in a large number of local transactions. That experience provides current insight into pricing, buyer expectations, inspections, appraisals, and the terms that are helping deals reach the closing table.

St. George is currently somewhat competitive, but buyers have more room to negotiate than they would in a fast-moving seller's market. The median sale price is approximately $539,000, up 4.7% year over year, while homes are taking a median of about 54 days to sell. Properties close for an average of 98% of their asking price, and only 9% sell above list.

For buyers, those conditions create time to compare homes and negotiate on properties that have been sitting longer. Sellers can still achieve strong results, but pricing too high may lead to an extended listing period. The Ames Team's transaction volume helps clients understand when to negotiate, when to act quickly, and how to position a property for the market as it exists now.
