Hurricane housing market
March 2026

March produced the biggest single-month dollar-volume jump in this dataset. Closings ran fifty two percent above last March, dollar volume up seventy nine percent, the median up eight percent, the average up seventeen. The upper tier returned to the table in volume after a two-month pause, and the mid-tier never stopped. The combination produced the loudest growth month of the year so far.

The seller side came back too. New listings ran twenty nine percent above last March, ending February's pullback. Active inventory still ran fifteen percent above last March because the larger shelf has been working off slowly, but the under-contract pipeline came in essentially flat with last March's very high level. The market is running balanced at a much louder volume than a year ago. 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 March read is the spread between the median jump and the average jump. The median moved up eight percent; the average moved up seventeen. That nine-point gap is the largest in this dataset and it says the upper tier of Hurricane transacted in dramatic volume this March. Resort-side, golf-side, and bench-side homes all transacted. The middle of the market grew alongside, just not at the same pace.

The percent-of-list ratio held at ninety eight, but the dollar gap on the typical home widened sharply to about twenty eight thousand five hundred below list across all residential. That gap is largely explained by a handful of large upper-tier negotiations where significant discounts off list still produced healthy net prices. The discipline of 2025 held on percent terms; the dollar terms picked up because the dollar amounts grew with the high tier returning.

The March Hurricane buyer faced a tighter market than the January or February buyer. With fifty two percent more closings, the pipeline holding flat at last March's level, and the upper tier back to transacting in volume, the room to deliberate has narrowed. Time on market did stretch fourteen percent, but that is mostly because the deeper shelf still has slow-moving inventory mixed with the homes that fit the bid and moved fast.

The upper-tier pockets like Firerock, Sand Hollow Resort, and Sky Ranch all picked up pace this month. The mid-tier pockets stayed at a steady pace. Sort the pocket question first.

March 2026 ran the way Hurricane's spring is supposed to run: all four buyer pools active at once, the high tier finally back at the table, the family relocations starting to position for summer moves, the snowbirds finalizing decisions before heading north. The data this March captured that arc clearly. The pause that defined January and February in 2026 broke open in March.

The under-contract count at March's end ran below last March's very high level, which says April should see closings come in at a steady pace rather than another surge. The question is whether the upper-tier transaction pace from March holds for a second month. If it does, Q1 closes as a louder quarter than Q1 2025. If the upper tier returns to a paused pace, April quiets the dollar-volume story.

City-wide numbers are not your home. The free valuation is the calibrated read.

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 families and retirees 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 for the family, 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.
