Median days on market fell to 35 in June 2026, down from 41 in May and close to March's 37 — homes are moving faster even as the shelf of active listings grew to 1,027, the highest of the past six months. A year ago in June 2025, St George closed 218 homes in 36 days with only 599 active listings; this June closed 209 homes in one day less with 71% more inventory sitting on the market. That combination — quicker sales alongside a deeper stock of choices — is the story sellers and buyers are both navigating right now.
Market pulse
Sold counts have held remarkably steady this spring — 198 in April, 211 in May, 209 in June — running above the trailing 12-month average of 189 and roughly matching June 2025's 218. Active inventory tells a different story, climbing every month since January's 674 to 799 in February, 937 in April, and now 1,027, while new listings have actually pulled back from 313 in April to 238 in June. The sale-to-list ratio held at 98.24%, and homes selling below list (134 of 209) still outnumber those at or above list, but the median days-on-market drop to 35 suggests the faster-moving segment of that larger pool is absorbing demand quickly even as the slower end drags the average up — the gap between the fastest quarter of closings (13 days) and the slowest quarter (93 days) remains wide.
Mortgage context
The 30-year mortgage rate has climbed from 6.19% in February to 6.66% in June and now sits at 6.875% as of mid-July, up 0.25 percentage points in just the past 30 days from 6.625%. That 30-day move alone added $66 a month to payments on a median-priced home, a 2.6% jump that's arriving right as St George's inventory build gives buyers more room to negotiate on price but less room in their monthly budget.
Payment math
A $500,000 median-priced St George home with 20% down now costs $2,625 a month in principal and interest at 6.875%, up from $2,559 just 30 days ago when rates averaged 6.625%, and $180 above the $2,445 payment buyers locked in back in February 2026 when the rate averaged 6.19%.
If you're buying
With 108 of June's 209 closings involving a price cut before selling, target listings that have already taken a reduction — that's more than half the closed pool this month. Focus on the under-$400K band, where median days on market sat at 35 and inventory has been building, rather than the over-$700K segment where days on market run closer to 48.
If you're selling
Price close to the 98.24% sale-to-list ratio homes are actually clearing at — overreaching against 1,027 competing active listings is what pushes a listing into the slower-moving half of the market. Homes in Sun River and Bloomington Hills closed in the high-30s to 50-day range in June; if your subdivision isn't seeing that pace, a price adjustment now beats a summer sitting past 90 days.
Outlook
With the 30-year rate now at 6.875% and climbing through July, expect the June acceleration in days on market to face pressure from higher payments over the next 60-90 days, particularly as St George's desert summer (95-105°F) typically slows in-person showings. Inventory near 1,027 gives buyers negotiating leverage that should persist into fall unless new listings, which fell to 238 in June from 303 in May, keep contracting.
Watch for
If new listings keep falling below April's 313 pace while active inventory holds near 1,000, months-of-supply will tighten from June's reading even without a sales pickup — but if the 30-year crosses 7% this summer, expect closings to slip back toward the 150-180 range seen in the slower months of late 2025.
