Hurricane housing market
December 2025

The year ended strong. December closings ran twenty four percent above last December, dollar volume up thirty five percent, the median up seven percent, the average up eight. Time on market dropped from last year's pace. New listings ran above last December's base, and the under-contract pipeline grew thirty four percent. December is normally the quiet month; this December was the loudest December in this dataset.

The closing arc of the year matched the data: a spring that opened deep on both sides, a summer that grew the shelf and tested patience, a fall that brought the high tier back, and a December that closed the year ahead on volume and roughly flat on the median. For the short read on where your home would price into this, my what is my home worth in Hurricane page is the fastest place to start.

The clearest December reads: sales up twenty four percent, volume up thirty five, median and average both up roughly eight. New listings up thirty seven percent against last December's low base, and the pipeline at year end up thirty four. December usually slows; this one did not. The seller flow stayed active enough to keep the shelf deep, and the buyer flow finished strong enough to absorb meaningfully.

The dollar-gap line widened a bit from October to about fourteen thousand five hundred below list across all residential. Percent of list held at ninety eight. The discipline of the year held through the holiday close, even as activity ran above expectations.

For Hurricane buyers, this December was less of a slow window than usual. Three hundred and thirty four active single-family homes is a deep shelf for a December, and the upper-tier inventory is the deepest end-of-year selection in this dataset. The buyers who came out for the December market moved fast, with time-on-market shorter than last December.

The January pipeline says competition will pick up. The equity position calculator is a fast first look if you are weighing your own situation, and the Hurricane neighborhoods guide is the fastest way to sort pocket-by-pocket pricing.

December in Hurricane traditionally produces the lowest volume of the year, with the cleanest negotiations between motivated parties. The 2025 December broke from the low-volume part of that pattern, but the clean-negotiation part held. The deals that happened happened cleanly, the discipline on pricing stayed intact, and the year ended ahead of last year on every count that matters.

The pipeline at year end ran thirty four percent above last year. January closings should land at the strongest January pace in this dataset. The Q4 read covers the full quarter view; the year-end report covers the full 2025 arc. Both land next; this December is the last monthly read before they sum up.

City-wide numbers are not your home. The free valuation is the calibrated read on your specific home in this market.

Hurricane is layered. A primary-residence single-family home in Sky Mountain, Dixie Springs, or Cordero trades on a completely different curve than an STR-zoned condo or townhouse at Sand Hollow Resort or in parts of Pecan Valley, and the gap between the two has only widened in the last twelve months. A citywide median averages those two markets together into a number that fits almost no individual home. Real pricing starts at your parcel, comparing recent closings inside your subdivision and your product type, then adjusts for view, lot, and rental rights. The fastest read on where your home likely lands is the what is my home worth in Hurricane page, then a full home valuation turns the band into a calibrated number.

Timing matters more here than in cities without an active STR overlay. If you are deciding between listing now and waiting, the should I sell now or wait calculator runs the math on carry cost against probable appreciation, and the seller net sheet shows what you would actually pocket once the costs you cannot avoid come out. Getting the first list price right in week one is the single biggest lever you control, because the Hurricane buyer pool is more selective than it was a year ago and any overpriced listing quietly trains the market to wait you out.

Hurricane is not one market either. Sand Hollow Resort STR product trades against a national pool of Vrbo and Airbnb investors and underwrites off projected nightly revenue. Sky Ranch, Hurricane Views, Falcon Ridge, and Dixie Springs trade against Wasatch Front primary-residence buyers on conventional financing. Two homes four hundred yards apart can have completely different rental rights, completely different buyer pools, and completely different price discovery. National algorithms miss this entirely.

That is why the neighborhood lens is the starting point here, not a footnote. Whether your home sits in a Cordero or Firerock primary-residence pocket, on a Sand Hollow Championship Course view lot, or inside a designated STR overlay, the marketing pitch has to match the actual buyer pool for the product type. My full breakdown of every Hurricane area, what it offers, who buys there, the rental rules, and how it tends to price, lives on the Hurricane neighborhoods guide. Start there before you anchor to a single listing.

Most Hurricane sellers are landing somewhere next, and the two halves go far smoother planned as one. If you are scaling up for a Sky Ranch view lot or a Cordero floor plan with room to spread out, my moving up in Hurricane guide covers the sequencing so you are never stuck owning two homes or scrambling with none. If you are unlocking equity and going the other way toward a low-maintenance single level closer to town, the right-sizing in Hurricane page walks through doing it without leaving money on the table.

New construction is genuinely worth a look in either direction, because Hurricane carries more active and entitled lots than any city in the region. Sand Hollow Resort, Cordero, Copper Rock, Firerock, and Peach Springs Estates all run consistent inventory with active builder incentives. My new construction in Hurricane guide breaks down the active communities and the builder bench behind them. When you are ready to list, the full story of how I take a Hurricane home to market lives on my sell your Hurricane home page. Whichever direction you are headed, I can quarterback both sides of it at once.
