What's my home
worth in Springdale?

Why Zillow and Redfin miss in Springdale specifically.
Utah is one of twelve non-disclosure states. When a home closes in Springdale, the sale price is not filed with the Washington 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 The algorithm is left guessing from tax assessments, square footage, and outdated comps.
Springdale makes the problem extreme. The town closed 16 residential sales over the trailing twelve months. That is the entire dataset. An algorithm trying to value an Anasazi Plateau single-level next to a Moenave townhome next to a Virgin River custom estate has almost no comparable trades to anchor against, and zero way to see the view, the lot, or the proximity to the South Entrance shuttle.
Six things driving Springdale home values right now.
No algorithm can see these factors. They are the difference between a Zestimate and a real pricing band. Every Springdale valuation I send is built around them.
Zion South Entrance proximity
Springdale's South Entrance carries roughly 60 percent of all Zion National Park visits, with nearly 4 million annual visitors funneled directly past town. The Springdale shuttle connects to the Zion canyon shuttle, so a Moenave home half a mile from the gate trades on a completely different curve than a Rockville home five miles out. Walkability to the entrance is its own price line.
STR-restricted residential zoning
Springdale's Transient Lodging Overlay Zone restricts nightly rentals (defined as 30 consecutive days or less) to commercially zoned parcels. Most residential property in Anasazi Plateau, Moenave, and Zion Park Estates cannot operate as a nightly rental. That removes investor demand from the buyer pool and anchors values to second-home and owner-occupant economics, not vacation cash flow. Properties grandfathered into commercial zones play by different rules.
Geographic constraint and scarcity
Springdale is hemmed in by Zion National Park, BLM land, and conservation easements. Net new residential supply is essentially flat. The homes that exist on view-favored lots cannot be replicated, and that scarcity is the structural reason Springdale carries the highest average sale price in Washington County despite being the smallest market by volume.
View profile and Dark Sky status
West Temple, The Watchman, Mount Kinesava, the Court of the Patriarchs, and Virgin River frontage all carry their own price premiums. Anasazi Plateau's panoramic single-level lots, Moenave's Watchman exposure, and Canyon Cottonwood Cottages' riverfront positioning trade well above interior parcels. Springdale's International Dark Sky Community designation reinforces the buyer narrative and the night-sky lifestyle value.
Cash second-home buyer pool
Springdale buyers are predominantly cash second-home owners, snowbirds, retirees, and Zion-adjacent investors. Local move-up demand under $500,000 is essentially absent. The buyer pool is national, often shops the entire Greater Zion region (Springdale, Rockville, Virgin, Hurricane) before committing, and is unforgiving on overpricing. That is exactly why expired and withdrawn listings here skew heavily to view homes that opened too high and lost momentum.
Zion visitation seasons
Springdale follows the park visitor curve, not the standard real estate calendar. Listing windows that catch peak Zion visitation (March-May and late September-November) materially outperform mid-summer or deep winter launches. Listing the week before a major Zion event window matters more here than seasonality matters almost anywhere else in Washington County.
Most Springdale homes trade between $475K and $2.5M, with custom Anasazi Plateau and riverfront estates above.
Townhomes and cottage product anchor the lower band. Mid-market single-family inside the town limits fills the middle. Anasazi Plateau view homes, Canyon Cottonwood Cottages riverfront, and the Old Town corridor customs define the top. Active listings currently stretch to $3.5M with a median list around $1.36M (Movoto, April 2026). Where your specific home sits depends on neighborhood, view, lot, condition, and the six drivers above.
Springdale recent sold range, trailing 12 months.
Real numbers from real closings inside Springdale town limits. Pulled from the Washington County MLS via FlexMLS on 5/14/2026, covering the trailing twelve months ending 5/1/2026. 16 residential closings, $24.8 million in sold volume. The smallest market in the county by volume, the highest by average sale price.
Springdale is structurally a slow market with deep pockets of luxury demand. Active inventory currently sits at roughly 11 listings against about 1.3 sales per month, or about 8 months of supply. The right home priced correctly still moves. The wrong price sits indefinitely. Average sellers closed roughly $68,181 below original list price, the widest dollar gap of any city in Washington County. Source: Washington County MLS via FlexMLS, report date 5/14/2026.
Most online estimates are off by 8 to 12 percent in this market.
The questionnaire takes about 4 minutes and combines real Washington County MLS data with on-the-ground knowledge of your specific Springdale pocket. I read every submission personally, pull the comps myself, and send back a written pricing band, usually within one business day.
Free, no obligation, no marketing list. Just an honest number on a market where the algorithms simply do not have enough data to be trusted.

Springdale home value FAQ.
Why does Zillow show a different number for my Springdale 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 $1,000,000 Springdale home, that is a possible $72,000 swing in either direction. The Zestimate is a starting point, not a number to price a Springdale listing against, especially given how thin and uneven local comps are here.
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 Springdale pocket, condition and view notes you provide, and on-the-ground context.
Over the trailing twelve months, the average Springdale single-family seller closed at roughly 96 percent of original list price, about $68,181 below original list on average. That is the widest dollar gap of any city in Washington County, and it is exactly why the valuation needs human eyes, not an algorithm.
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 Springdale owners use it to plan a refinance, contest a property tax assessment, settle an estate, document value for an LLC or trust, 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.
How long does the questionnaire take?
About 4 minutes. Address, basic specs, any recent upgrades, view profile, 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 Springdale homeowners, and it is genuinely free whether or not you ever decide to sell.
What is the median home price in Springdale right now?
The town-wide residential median in Springdale for the trailing twelve months ending 5/1/2026 was $1,004,062 across 16 closed sales. The average sale price was $1,549,759, the highest in Washington County.
By property type: single-family homes sold at a median of $1,136,562 with an average of $1,690,796 across 14 closings. Two townhome closings medianed at $562,500. There were zero condominium sales this year. Total sold dollar volume was $24.8 million.

How does the Springdale short-term rental ban affect home values?
Springdale operates a Transient Lodging Overlay Zone that restricts nightly rentals (defined as 30 consecutive days or less) to commercially zoned parcels. Most residential property in Anasazi Plateau, Moenave, Zion Park Estates, and the rest of town cannot be converted to nightly use.
This removes investor demand from the buyer pool. The buyers competing for Springdale homes are cash second-home buyers, snowbirds, retirees, and Zion-adjacent owner-occupants, not vacation rental operators. That stabilizes long-run values but means the buyer pool is narrower and shops the entire Greater Zion region before committing. Pricing has to reflect that smaller, more selective demand.
Properties grandfathered into commercial zones may continue operating, and any STR claim must be confirmed against the town code and grandfathered status before pricing assumes it.
