Kanab, Utah

New Listings in Kanab, Utah

Kanab sits at the south end of Utah on Highway 89, roughly halfway between Zion and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, with Bryce Canyon and Lake Powell each about 90 minutes out. The town has roughly 5,000 full-time residents and a real-estate market that moves in waves — a property can sit for months and then three new listings hit the same week when sellers time the spring tourism season. Watching new listings as they come on is how out-of-state buyers actually catch the right home here, because the inventory pool is small and the better-priced houses in established neighborhoods like Old Town Kanab or the bench above Kanab Creek tend to get offers within the first two weeks.

The mix of new listings in Kanab tends to skew three directions: smaller mid-century homes inside the city grid (often updated, often priced in the high $300s to mid $500s), newer builds on the south and west edges of town with garage space for side-by-sides and trailers, and acreage parcels out toward Johnson Canyon Road or the Three Lakes area. Climate matters to the listings too — Kanab sits at about 4,900 feet, so summers run hot but not Phoenix-hot, winters are mild compared to northern Utah, and red-rock views are baked into most lots. Sort the listings below by date to see what has come on the market most recently, and check back often since new inventory in a town this size doesn't last long.

Common questions

About new listings in Kanab.

How often do new homes hit the market in Kanab?

Kanab is a small market — typically only 40 to 80 active single-family listings at any given time, with a handful of new ones each week during spring and summer. Winter months are quieter, sometimes just one or two new listings a week. Setting up a saved search with instant alerts is the most reliable way to catch the right property before it goes under contract.

What price range do new Kanab listings usually fall into?

Most new listings land between the high $300s and mid $700s for in-town homes, with acreage properties and view lots on the outskirts ranging from the mid $600s into seven figures. True fixer-uppers under $350K do still appear occasionally, especially in Old Town near Center Street, but they move fast.

Are short-term rental and Airbnb properties part of the new listings here?

Yes — Kanab allows nightly rentals in specific zones, and a portion of new listings are marketed as turnkey vacation rentals with permits already in place. If income potential matters to you, ask your agent to confirm the zoning and whether the existing STR license transfers, because Kane County and Kanab City rules differ from each other.

How does Kanab compare to nearby St. George or Hurricane for new inventory?

Kanab has a fraction of the inventory those Washington County cities see — St. George might list 40+ new homes in a week while Kanab lists three or four. Prices are generally lower than St. George for comparable square footage, but selection is thinner and you'll wait longer for the specific layout or lot you want.

Do new Kanab listings typically include land or acreage?

In-town listings usually sit on quarter-acre to half-acre lots. If you want real acreage, look toward Johnson Canyon, Three Lakes, the Yellowstone Road area, or out toward Fredonia — listings there often run from 2 to 40+ acres, sometimes with water shares or wells already drilled.

Is now a good time to buy in Kanab?

Days-on-market have stretched compared to the 2021-2022 frenzy, which means more room to negotiate on listings that have been sitting. Fresh listings priced correctly still sell quickly, so watching new inventory daily and being ready to tour within 48 hours is the practical approach for serious buyers.
