Cordero
in Hurricane,
by a local listing agent.
Brand-new Richmond American floor plans between Copper Rock Golf Course and the Southern Shores ski-lake community, eight minutes from Sand Hollow. Here is the honest local read on Cordero, with a candid look at what a resale should actually price at when the builder is still selling next door.
A brand-new master-planned pocket
between golf and the lake.
Cordero sits on the west side of Hurricane at 2140 West 3970 South, off Southern Parkway. The setting is what makes this community easy to explain: Copper Rock Golf Course is on one side, the Southern Shores ski-lake community is on the other, and Sand Hollow State Park is about eight minutes east. It is a brand-new development, opened for sales by Richmond American Homes in April 2025, so almost everything you see going up is current-spec production housing on graded pads.
The vibe is suburban and clean. Wide streets, designer-curated exteriors, similar architectural language across the floor plans, and the in-progress feel of a community still building out its phases. There are no mature trees yet, no thirty-year HOA history, and no established resale comp set. What there is, though, is location: this is one of the closest production-home neighborhoods to Sand Hollow Reservoir, and Southern Parkway puts downtown St. George inside a twenty-minute drive.
A smaller adjacent footprint is being built by Desert Sage Homes on roughly 16 lots with a different plan mix (the Sandia, Marshall, and Mesa plans), so the broader Cordero footprint is not strictly a single-builder community. Richmond American is the dominant builder and the community identity. Around 169 lots are planned across multiple phases, with Phase 3A delivering through 2025 and additional phases queued behind it.
If a buyer wants brand-new construction, quick Sand Hollow access, and a starting price the resort neighborhoods cannot touch, Cordero is the obvious shortlist pick.

The city sets the frame,
your home sets the price.
These are the citywide Hurricane single-family numbers I brief every seller with before we talk strategy. Sales volume is up sharply while the median has normalized off its peak, a high-activity market where homes are still selling close to asking. What these figures cannot tell you is what your specific home is worth, because a citywide median hides the differences in lot, finish, and location that decide your number. That gap is exactly why a personalized Cordero valuation matters more here than any headline median.
Citywide single-family figures, year over year. Strong sales volume with homes selling near asking signals a deep, active market. Use it as backdrop for your home, not as a per-square-foot price.

Production new construction,
two builders, four-ish plans.
Cordero is primarily a Richmond American Homes community with a smaller Desert Sage Homes footprint on the adjacent lots. The plan lineup is tight, which is good news for sellers: comps are clean because everyone is comparing the same handful of floor plans, and the differences come down to lot, view, upgrades, and condition.
Richmond American Homes
The bulk of Cordero. Subsidiary of M.D.C. Holdings, one of the largest national homebuilders. Four ranch and two-story floor plans ranging from approximately 1,530 to 3,080 sqft, 3 to 5 bedrooms. The Ammolite is the on-site model home; the Noble is the headline larger plan.
Standard features: designer-curated finishes, covered patios, landscaped homesites, optional guest suites. Sales launched in April 2025, and the builder typically runs rate buydown incentives that vary by inventory and timing, so confirm the current offer directly with the builder before you compare it to a resale.
2140 West 3970 South, Hurricane, UT 84737
Desert Sage Homes
Smaller builder presence on a separate set of lots inside the Cordero footprint. Twenty-plus years of Southern Utah experience, custom-feel finishes at a production price. Plans include the Sandia, Marshall, and Mesa.
Standard features run heavier than the Richmond American base spec: 2x6 exterior walls, 4-car garages on certain plans, fireplaces with built-ins, no-carpet great rooms, large pantries, double vanities, soaker tubs, walk-in tiled showers, canned lighting throughout. Pricing skews higher per square foot than the Richmond American base plans.

Selling against the builder
is the whole game here.
Pricing a resale in an actively-selling new-construction community is a different problem than pricing in an established neighborhood. The builder is your direct competitor, and the builder has incentives you do not. Here is what actually moves a Cordero sale.
Don’t price off sticker price.
If Richmond American is advertising an aggressive rate buydown plus closing-cost help on a comparable plan, your resale at sticker price can be more expensive than the new build next door. The effective price is what matters. A good listing agent reads the builder’s current offer sheet weekly and prices the resale to win on something the builder cannot match: completed landscaping, blinds and window coverings, garage finishes, lot premium, or simply faster move-in than a build slot.
Plan for a real marketing window.
Hurricane as a whole has been running longer days-on-market than the national average in 2025-2026, and new-construction-heavy submarkets like Cordero feel that more, not less. Resale buyers here are usually comparison shoppers who are also walking the builder’s model home the same weekend. Expect a thirty- to sixty-day average marketing window for a correctly priced home, longer if the price is set off launch-era expectations rather than current builder pricing.
Build-grade is not a free pass.
A two-year-old Cordero home is technically still new, but buyers walking from a builder’s 2026-finished model will notice scuffed baseboards, marks on cabinets, and any builder-grade issues that have surfaced (settlement cracks, grout problems, landscaping that did not take). Walkthrough preparation, touch-up paint, and addressing any new-build warranty items before listing has an outsized return here compared to a typical resale market.
Your competitive advantage is everything the builder cannot deliver in 90 days.
Mature landscaping, finished blinds and window coverings, garage cabinets, ceiling fans, a working fence, a finished backyard, an actual move-in date. The builder cannot beat any of that without months of wait time. A correctly positioned Cordero resale is not the cheaper version of a new build, it is the faster, more-finished version. Price and marketing should make that obvious in the first photo.
The location is what sells
Cordero, honestly.
Floor plans are floor plans. The reason buyers shortlist Cordero over a similar price point in Washington Fields or central Hurricane is what is around it: Sand Hollow eight minutes east, two golf courses on either flank, and Southern Parkway giving you St. George without ever touching I-15.
Sand Hollow State Park & Reservoir
The big draw. Boating, paddleboarding, wakeboarding, cliff jumping, off-road riding in the Sand Mountain dunes. The crown jewel of Hurricane recreation, and Cordero is one of the closest new-construction communities to it.
Copper Rock Golf Course
A challenging course threading the red rock canyons just south of Cordero. Hosts the Black Desert Championship on the PGA TOUR. You are not in the golf community itself, but you are about as close as a non-resort buyer can get.
Southern Shores ski-lake community
Multi-million-dollar ski-lake homes built around private water. You are not buying into Southern Shores at Cordero prices, but you share a fence line, and the long-term value of that border is real.
Sky Mountain Golf Course
Public 18-hole course in Hurricane proper with Zion views. The everyday round for residents who do not want resort fees.
Quail Creek State Park
Quieter water alternative to Sand Hollow, good for swimming, fishing, and small-boat use. Year-round access.
Three Falls, Hurricane Intermediate, Hurricane High
Washington County School District feed: Three Falls Elementary (K through 5), Hurricane Intermediate (6 through 8), Hurricane High (9 through 12). Verify zoning directly with the district.
Downtown St. George via Southern Parkway
The Southern Parkway connection is the unsung Cordero feature. You reach downtown St. George without ever touching I-15, and you skip the worst of Hurricane Main Street traffic on the way.
Zion National Park
A weekend hike turns into an after-work drive. One of the real lifestyle wins of living anywhere in Hurricane.
Zion Utah Jellystone Park
Family water park that opened in 2024. Big draw if you have kids. Closer than the St. George water options.

The Cordero buyer
has a clear profile.
Understanding who is shopping this neighborhood is half the pricing exercise. The Cordero buyer is not the Sand Hollow Resort buyer, and they are not the Pecan Valley short-term-rental investor either.
Relocating families and remote workers
Out-of-state buyers (California, Nevada, Pacific Northwest) wanting brand-new construction, Southern Utah weather, and lake access in their backyard. Price-sensitive compared to the resort communities, less price-sensitive than the central Hurricane resale market. School-driven, recreation-driven, often dual-income.
Second-home and retirement buyers
Right-sizers from across the West, often coming out of larger homes elsewhere, looking for a lock-and-leave new build close to outdoor recreation. The ranch plans target this buyer specifically. Cordero is not a 55-plus community, but it is a comfortable fit for active retirees who want golf and lake access without resort-fee living.
Local move-ups from rentals or older Hurricane homes
Hurricane locals graduating into their first new-construction purchase, often using builder rate buydowns to make the monthly payment work. The core Richmond American plan tier hits this profile dead-on, especially when the builder is offering promotional financing.
Who is NOT shopping Cordero
Short-term-rental investors. Cordero is not zoned or HOA-positioned as a nightly-rental community the way Pecan Valley Resort is. Buyers wanting STR potential should look at Pecan Valley or specific Sand Hollow Resort inventory instead. Pricing a Cordero resale on STR potential will mislead the listing and slow the sale.
Curious what your home in Cordero would sell for in this market?
Cordero is the wrong neighborhood to value off a national-database guess. A correct number here weighs the active Richmond American price sheet, current rate-buydown incentives, your plan and lot, your finish package, and how your resale stacks up against an unbuilt new build sixty days out. The questionnaire takes about 4 minutes, I read every submission personally, and I send back a written pricing band with the builder context baked in, usually within one business day.
Free, no obligation, no marketing list. Just an honest number.
