The Utah problem

Why Zillow and Redfin miss in Hurricane specifically.

Utah is one of twelve non-disclosure states. When a home closes in Hurricane, the sale price is not filed with the county recorder and not entered into any public record. Buyers and sellers can even pay a fee to keep the price off the MLS itself.

National automated valuation models pull from public sale records first. In a non-disclosure state, that input simply does not exist. The algorithm is left guessing from tax assessments, square footage, and outdated comps. That is why the Zestimate on your phone can swing by tens of thousands month to month with no real change in the market.

Hurricane has an added wrinkle: short-term rental licensing. The Zestimate cannot see whether a parcel has an active, transferable STR license, even though that single attribute can change a sale price by a meaningful percentage. More on that below.

What actually moves the number

What drives Hurricane home values right now.

Hurricane is not one market. The forces below move different neighborhoods in different directions. A Sand Hollow Resort golf-front home and a Dixie Springs starter trade on different curves entirely. Your specific pocket matters more than any city-wide average.

Driver 01

STR license-cap zoning

The single biggest neighborhood-by-neighborhood differentiator in Hurricane. The city runs a license cap of roughly three STR permits per one thousand residents in single-family zones, plus a 300 foot spacing rule and a waiting list. Resort-zone properties at Sand Hollow Resort operate separately. A home with an active, transferable license can carry a real premium over the identical home next door that cannot be licensed.

Driver 02

Sand Hollow and Sand Mountain

The red-rock reservoir, the sand dune OHV area, and the championship golf course are the demand engine for half of Hurricane's out-of-state buyers. Proximity, view, and HOA access to these amenities show up in pricing. A home with garage space for a side-by-side and a boat is shopping a different buyer than a home that does not, even at the same square footage.

Driver 03

Golf course frontage

Sand Hollow's championship course and the more affordable Sky Mountain Golf Course both drive on-course premiums. The premium varies by hole quality, view depth, HOA fee load, and STR eligibility. A fairway-view villa at Sand Hollow Resort plays very differently than an interior Sky Mountain home at a similar sticker price.

Driver 04

Sky Ranch and Grassy Meadows airpark

A private fly-in community east of Sand Hollow with an active runway and large lots. The buyer pool is national, not local: pilots and weekenders who fly themselves in. Comps inside Sky Ranch and Grassy Meadows trade on a curve that almost no other Hurricane neighborhood touches, and standard AVMs have no framework for pricing a runway-access lot.

Driver 05

Zion gateway location

Hurricane sits roughly 24 minutes from Zion National Park's main gate, closer than St. George and quieter than Springdale. That drive time is the second most-cited reason out-of-state buyers shop here over other Washington County cities, and it is a permanent feature, not a market cycle.

Driver 06

New construction supply

Legacy at Sand Hollow, continuing Sand Hollow Resort phases, and ongoing build-out across the south corridor are adding inventory steadily. Builder rate buydowns and upgrade incentives directly compete with resale pricing in adjacent established neighborhoods. If you live in a comparable area, that supply matters more to your value than the city-wide median.

Hurricane price band

Most Hurricane homes trade between $260K and $1.2M.

Luxury custom at Sand Hollow Resort and large airpark estates in Sky Ranch and Grassy Meadows run well above that. Entry-level condos near downtown and along the State Street corridor sit below. Where your specific home sits inside that band depends on neighborhood, STR eligibility, lot, view, condition, and the six drivers above.

Questions, answered honestly

Hurricane home value FAQ.

Why does Zillow show a different number for my Hurricane home?

Utah is a non-disclosure state. Sale prices are not recorded in public records, and Utah property owners can even pay a fee to remove their sale price from the MLS itself. Zillow and Redfin build their estimates from a much thinner dataset in Utah than they do in California or Texas.

Zillow publishes a 7.20 percent median error rate for off-market homes nationwide, and the error runs higher in non-disclosure states. On a $581,000 Hurricane home, that is a possible $42,000 swing in either direction. The Zestimate is a starting point, not a number to price a listing against.

How accurate is the Scott Buehler valuation?

The questionnaire feeds a real comparative market analysis. It combines current MLS sold data from the Washington County board, active and pending comps inside your specific neighborhood, condition and upgrade notes you provide, and on-the-ground context (HOA, view, lot quality, golf frontage, STR license status).

Across the trailing twelve months, the average Hurricane seller closed within 98 percent of original list price. That is what real pricing looks like when the number is built from comps, not an algorithm. The valuation gives you a pricing band, not a single number, because no honest agent should pretend a home will close at exactly one price.

Do I have to list my home to get a valuation?

No. The valuation is free, no listing agreement, no obligation, no pressure. Plenty of homeowners use it to plan a refinance, contest a property tax assessment, settle an estate, plan a 1031 exchange, or just sanity check the Zestimate they keep seeing on their phone.

If you do decide to sell down the road, you already have a baseline number and you already know who I am. That works for both of us.

How long does the questionnaire take?

About 4 minutes. Address, basic specs, any recent upgrades, condition notes, and where you are in your timeline.

From there I pull the comps myself. Most people get a written pricing band back within one business day, faster if you flag it as time-sensitive.

Is there a cost?

No cost. No signup wall. No marketing list. The valuation is how I introduce myself to Hurricane homeowners, and it is genuinely free whether or not you ever decide to sell.

What is the median home price in Hurricane right now?

Across the trailing twelve months ending 5/1/2026, single-family homes inside Hurricane sold at a median of $581,000 with an average of $665,829 across 463 closed sales. Townhomes sold at a median of $387,500 and condos at $260,000. All three property types closed at roughly 98 to 100 percent of original list.

Single-family sales volume is up 17 percent year over year and unit count is up 19 percent, even as the city-wide median ticked down 2 percent. That is a market absorbing more inventory at a wider price spread, not a price retreat. Source: Washington County MLS via FlexMLS.

Does short-term rental eligibility actually move my Hurricane home's value?

Yes, in a way that few other Utah cities can match. Hurricane runs a license-cap STR system: licenses are capped at roughly three per one thousand residents in single-family zones, with a 300 foot spacing rule between rentals, and a waiting list once the cap is hit. Resort-zone properties at Sand Hollow Resort operate under a different framework.

The net effect is that a Hurricane home with an active, transferable STR license can trade at a measurable premium over an identical home one block away that cannot be licensed. The pricing band has to reflect that, and the questionnaire asks about it directly. Source: Hurricane City short-term rental ordinance, summarized in industry guides as of 2026.

Does my neighborhood matter more than the city average?

Yes, more than almost any other factor. Hurricane is not one market. A Sand Hollow Resort golf-front home trades on a different curve than a Coral Canyon family home, which trades on a different curve than a Dixie Springs starter, which trades on a different curve than a Grassy Meadows Sky Ranch airpark lot.

STR license eligibility, Sand Hollow lake and OHV proximity, golf course frontage, Zion National Park drive-time, and resort versus residential zoning all move the number meaningfully. A city-wide $581,000 median tells you nothing about a specific home on the Sand Hollow back nine or a fly-in lot on Sky Ranch Boulevard. Your specific pocket is what the questionnaire focuses on.
