New Listings in Moab, Utah
Moab is a thin, fast-moving market, and new listings here behave differently than they do up on the Wasatch Front. With a year-round population of roughly 5,200 and a finite amount of buildable land squeezed between Arches National Park, the La Sal Mountains, and BLM ground, fresh inventory is genuinely scarce. Most new MLS activity clusters in a few areas: in-town homes near 400 East and Mountain View, Spanish Valley properties south toward the county line, and the occasional Castle Valley or Pack Creek listing for buyers who want acreage and dark skies over walkability. Pricing reflects the tourism economy and the city's nightly rental cap — homes with an active overnight accommodation permit can list 30–50% above an otherwise identical property without one.
If you're watching this page, timing matters. Spring (March–May) and fall (September–October) bring the bulk of new Moab listings because that's when sellers know buyer foot traffic is highest. Summer slows down as temperatures climb past 100°F, and winter sees a smaller but less competitive pool. Buyers coming from Salt Lake (about 3 hours and 45 minutes north) or Grand Junction (1 hour 45 minutes east) should be ready to move quickly on anything well-priced, since out-of-state second-home demand keeps the under-$600K segment tight. Browse the active listings below to see what just hit the market, and reach out if you'd like a local agent's read on a specific property or neighborhood.

Common questions
About new listings in Moab.
How often are new Moab listings added to the MLS? ▾
Moab is a small market — the Washington County and Grand County MLS feeds typically see a handful of new residential listings per week during the spring and fall selling seasons, and fewer in the dead of summer when temperatures hit 100+. This page refreshes as soon as agents post new inventory, so checking back every few days is the best way to catch something before it sells.
What price range should I expect for a new listing in Moab right now? ▾
Entry-level homes in town (Mountain View, Walnut Lane area) generally start in the mid-$400s, while larger homes with red rock views or acreage in Spanish Valley and Castle Valley run from the $700s into the low millions. Vacation rental–permitted properties carry a meaningful premium because the city has capped new overnight rental approvals.
Are new Moab listings usually primary residences or second homes? ▾
It's a real mix. Local workforce buyers compete for anything under $500K in town, while a large share of mid- and upper-tier listings sell to out-of-state second-home buyers from Colorado, California, and the Wasatch Front. Knowing which bucket a property falls into matters because nightly rental zoning, HOA rules, and lender requirements differ.
Should I tour a new Moab listing in person or rely on photos? ▾
Photos can be misleading here — a home two blocks off Main Street sounds great until you hear Jeep traffic at 7 a.m., and a Spanish Valley parcel may look flat in drone shots but sit on a steep wash. An in-person visit (or a live video walkthrough with your agent) is worth the trip from Salt Lake or Grand Junction.
Do new listings in Moab sell quickly? ▾
Well-priced homes under $600K and any property with an existing overnight rental license tend to go under contract within 2–3 weeks. Higher-end homes and raw land can sit for several months, especially during the July–August heat when buyer traffic drops. Days on market vary more here than in Wasatch Front cities.
Can I set up alerts for new Moab listings as they hit the MLS? ▾
Yes — set up a saved search with your price range, bedroom count, and any must-haves like a garage, acreage, or nightly rental zoning, and the system will email you when matching listings come on. That's the most reliable way to see new Moab inventory before it's picked over.
