What Cedar City homes are actually selling for
The quickest way to sanity-check any number you've seen for your house is to look at what the market is doing now. These figures come from closed sales in the MLS and refresh automatically.
61 residential sales closed in October 2026. Typical asking price today: $449,900. 341 homes for sale. Year-over-year compares October 2026 with the same month last year.
Are Cedar City home prices dropping?
The median sale price is down about 4.4% from the same month a year ago. One month's median moves with whichever homes happened to sell, so read it as a direction, not a precise change for your home. Buyers have more choice than they did, so pricing correctly from the first day matters more than it used to. Homes that start too high tend to take a reduction later.
Is Cedar City a buyer's or seller's market?
With about 5.6 months of supply, the market is roughly balanced. Under about four months usually favors sellers; over six favors buyers. Homes are closing at about 97.1% of list price, so most sellers are negotiating a little, not taking big cuts. The citywide number hides a lot. A move-in-ready home in a popular neighborhood can still draw quick offers while a dated one nearby waits, and that gap is what a home-by-home analysis is for.
Median sale prices by neighborhood in Cedar City
| Neighborhood | Median sale price | Homes sold | For sale now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Sorrel Ranch | $482,000 | 12 | 0 |
| Pointe West | $335,000 | 7 | 0 |
| Iron West | $530,000 | 7 | 0 |
| Trailside | $250,000 | 6 | 2 |
| Saddleback Ridge | $757,000 | 6 | 0 |
| West View Estates | $575,000 | 5 | 1 |
Closed residential sales over the last 12 months, from the MLS. Neighborhoods with fewer than five sales aren't shown. Area medians are a starting point, not an answer: two homes on the same street can sell far apart once size, lot, layout and condition are counted, and a median moves with whatever mix of homes happened to sell.
Selling a home in Cedar City
Cedar City has grown about 19% since 2020, to nearly 42,000 residents, and its market stays broad: Southern Utah University and prices below St. George bring steady demand, along with four real seasons and quick access to Cedar Breaks, Brian Head and the mountains east of town. It sits on I-15 about 50 miles north of St. George.
Values here depend a lot on lot size and setting. Newer subdivisions on the west side like Old Sorrel Ranch and Iron West, view homes in Saddleback Ridge, older homes near downtown and the university, and acreage with animal rights all sell to different buyers, as the neighborhood table above shows. Builders are active too, so many resale homes compete with new construction.
A CMA from a local agent matches your home with sales of the same type and lot size, adjusts for basement, garage, view and updates, and checks what builders are offering nearby.
From a person, not an algorithm
What you get with a free Cedar City home valuation
A real comparative market analysis from a local agent, the same document we'd prepare for a client deciding whether to list.
Comparable sales
Recent closed sales and active listings near you in Cedar City, pulled from the same MLS data an appraiser will use.
A price range and a strategy
A realistic range with the reasoning behind it, and the trade-off between pricing to sell quickly and testing the top of the range.
A short consult
Phone, video or in person, your pick. A conversation about your timeline and options, with no obligation to list.
The method
How we figure out what your Cedar City home is worth
A comparative market analysis answers one question: what will a ready buyer pay for this home right now? It's the same way an appraiser will look at your home if the buyer finances the purchase.
-
1
Pull the right closed sales
Utah is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices aren't in public records. We start with closed MLS sales, ideally from your own neighborhood in Cedar City, from the last three to six months, and close to your home in size, age and style. In a slow pocket we look farther out or farther back, and we tell you when we did.
-
2
Adjust for what's different
No comparable sale is identical. We adjust each one for living area, basement finish, lot, garage, views, age and updates. A comp with a brand-new kitchen sold for more than a home without one will, and we account for it.
-
3
Read the competition
Closed sales show what happened. Active and pending listings show what a buyer will compare you with next weekend, and expired listings show the prices buyers turned down.

Land on a range, then a strategy
You get a realistic price range, a likely sale price and an expected time on market. Then we talk through how to use it, so you know the trade-off before you decide.
Local factors
What moves home values in Cedar City
National valuation tools treat a square foot the same everywhere. Buyers here don't. These are the details that most often separate two Cedar City homes that look identical on paper.
Lot size and animal rights
Cedar City's R-E (Residential Estate) zone allows two large animals per lot plus one more per 10,000 square feet over an acre, and guest houses up to 1,200 square feet. Standard R-1 lots don't allow large animals. Horse-ready properties are a specific market, and the city's Cross Hollow Arenas add to the appeal for riders. See current horse properties.
Short-term and long-term rentals
Short-term rentals are permitted in all zones for existing homes with a business license, but HOA covenants can prohibit them. ADUs can only be rented long-term. Near SUU, long-term rental demand is steady, which matters to investors.
Water and future supply
Cedar Valley has been closed to new groundwater rights since 1966, and the area's groundwater plan cuts city rights substantially over the coming decades. Buyers, especially for larger lots, increasingly ask about water rights and landscaping.
Competing with new construction
Builders are active across Cedar City and often offer incentives. A resale home needs a price and concessions that hold up against a new one, and finished landscaping and window coverings help.
Winters and the systems that handle them
At about 5,800 feet, Cedar City gets real winters, with lows below freezing from November through April. Buyers look at the furnace, roof, insulation and windows, and pools are seasonal here.
Views and setting
Homes with mountain views, on the foothills, or near Cedar Highlands and the canyons sell in a higher tier. A home backing onto I-15, a busy road or commercial land sells for less.
Flood and wildfire awareness
Coal Creek flooded in August 2021, and areas like Flying L Ranch and Gemini Meadows have seen flash floods; wildfire has come close to Cedar Highlands. Buyers ask, so know your home's history and FEMA flood zone.
Know which number you're looking at
Online estimate, CMA or appraisal?
You can get a number for your house in ten seconds from Zillow, Redfin or Realtor.com, and it's a fine place to start. Just know what's behind it. Automated estimates read public records and listing data, and here they often can't see what homes actually sold for. They also can't see your remodeled kitchen, your finished basement or the view from your back patio.
| Online estimate | CMA from a local agent | Appraisal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who prepares it | An algorithm | A licensed agent who knows the area | A licensed appraiser |
| What it sees | Public records and listing data | MLS sales, current competition, your home's condition and updates | Closed sales and an inspection of the home |
| Cost | Free | Free | Usually several hundred dollars |
| Turnaround | Instant | Usually within one business day | About a week or more |
| Best for | A rough idea | Deciding whether, when and at what price to sell | A mortgage, refinance, estate or legal matter |
One more number you'll see is the county assessor's market value on your valuation notice. It's set as of January 1 for tax purposes, and a primary residence is taxed on 55% of it because of Utah's 45% residential exemption. It's useful, but it isn't a sale price, so don't price your home from your tax notice.
Before you list
Getting the most for your Cedar City home
The best return usually comes from the unglamorous work, not a rushed remodel.
- Service the HVAC. A recent AC service record matters in a 100-degree summer. Buyers and inspectors check it first.
- Clean up the outside. Fresh rock, trimmed plants, working drip lines and a clear pool are a cheap way to improve the first photo.
- Paint and light. Fresh neutral paint and bright bulbs do more for photos and showings than almost anything else at the same cost.
- Fix the small items now. Leaky faucets, cracked tile and worn caulking show up in inspection reports and turn into repair requests.
- Gather your paperwork. HOA documents, any solar agreement, warranties, permits for a finished basement or addition, and records of upgrades answer buyer questions before they turn into negotiation.
- Skip the big remodel. A new kitchen right before listing rarely pays back in full. We'll tell you which updates are worth it for your price range.
Not selling yet? Other good reasons to know your value
Plenty of the valuations we prepare are for owners who aren't listing at all. Knowing what your home would sell for helps when you're:
- • Considering a refinance or HELOC, so you know roughly how much equity you have before a lender orders an appraisal.
- • Deciding whether to sell or rent it out, by putting the likely sale price next to what the home could rent for.
- • Handling an estate, a divorce or a relocation, where everyone needs a realistic number. A court or lender will usually still require a formal appraisal.
- • Planning a move up or down, so you can see what you could afford next before you start shopping.
