Hurricane housing market
Q1 2025

Q1 set the tone for the year. Closings ran thirty percent above last spring, dollar volume up thirty one percent, the median up six percent. At the same time, the inventory shelf opened the year almost forty percent deeper, new listings came in twenty seven percent above last Q1, and the under-contract pipeline ran thirty eight percent ahead. Both sides of the market arrived in volume, and the quarter produced more deals at firmer prices on a wider shelf.

Inside the quarter, the rhythm changed month to month. January closed soft with a loud pipeline. February reversed sharply on a high-end-heavy mix. March pulled the mix back to normal with deep supply and strong pipeline. The quarter ended with the pipeline reloaded for Q2. 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 cleanest Q1 reads are about growth on both sides. Sales count and dollar volume both grew thirty percent. New listings grew twenty seven percent. Active inventory grew thirty seven percent. Under-contract pipelines grew thirty eight percent. The whole quarter ran at a higher activity level than last year. The clock stretched ten percent, which is what you would expect when the menu gets meaningfully wider; serious buyers take a touch longer to choose when there is more to choose from.

The percent-of-list ratio held flat at ninety eight, which is the cleanest signal that pricing discipline held even as the shelf deepened. The median moved up a few percent, the average nearly flat. None of those point to a market in trouble. They point to a market with more of everything, transacting at a higher overall level.

Q1 gave Hurricane buyers more selection than they have had in a long time, and the data says they used it. Pipeline grew thirty eight percent year over year, with the average buyer taking a slightly longer clock to choose. Pricing discipline held, percent-of-list ratios came in at last year's pace, and the homes that fit the bid the cleanest did not wait around.

Different parts of town moved at different paces. Bench-side builds in Copper Rock and resort-side homes in Sand Hollow Resort trade differently than larger homes in Falcon Ridge or established neighborhoods like Pecan Valley. Sort the pocket first.

Hurricane's Q1 traditionally builds through the calendar: a quiet January, a transitional February, a busier March. The 2025 quarter fit that pattern with extra strength, and the year-over-year growth came from the entire quarter, not a single hot month. Snowbirds, Zion-gateway buyers, right-sizers, and relocating buyers all showed up.

The quarter ended with the pipeline at a healthy level and the shelf wider than at any point in last year. Q2 inherits that setup. The watch items are whether new listings keep arriving, whether the high end keeps transacting alongside the middle, and whether the absorption rate stays high enough to keep balance with supply.

City-wide quarter 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 help you line up the sale and the next purchase so the two halves stay in sync.
