If you’ve been watching the housing market in Washington County and wondering whether now is the right time to buy or sell, you’re not alone. Many people are asking the same question. There’s been a lot of change over the past few years, and many are trying to figure out what today’s numbers mean. Today, I’ll break down what exactly is happening so you can make the right decisions for your real estate journey:

Home values are leveling out. According to the latest data from Zillow, the average home value in Washington County is just over $537,000. That’s up 0.5% compared to the same time last year. While that might not sound like much, it’s a sign of a healthy, stable market. We’ve moved past the days of double-digit price growth and bidding wars. Currently, the market is settling into a more sustainable pace, which is beneficial for both buyers and sellers.

What should sellers and buyers do? For sellers, this new landscape requires a shift in approach. Homes are still selling, but buyers have become more selective. On average, homes are going under contract in about 34 days. That tells us there’s still movement, but momentum alone isn’t enough anymore. If you’re considering listing your home, pricing it correctly and preparing it well are crucial. Overpricing your home can lead to longer days on the market, fewer showings, and lower offers. A well-priced home that is clean, well-maintained, and professionally marketed still has a strong chance of attracting serious buyers—but only if the strategy is right from the start.

Buyers, on the other hand, are benefiting from the slower pace. You now have more time to evaluate homes, compare options, and make informed decisions without being rushed. The pressure to offer thousands over asking on day one is no longer the norm. But that doesn’t mean you can sit back and wait too long. Homes that are priced right and presented well can still move quickly. The key is to work with a local expert, understand the market, and be prepared to act when the right home becomes available.

Local trends matter. One of the most important takeaways in today’s environment is that local trends matter more than national headlines. While major metros across the country are seeing slower growth or rising inventory, Washington County is showing a more balanced picture. For example, in ZIP code 84780, home values have increased by 1.5%, and homes are typically pending in about 40 days. That indicates that there is still strong demand in specific neighborhoods. Schools, amenities, and community lifestyle continue to drive interest in these areas. Sellers in these neighborhoods have an edge—but only if their listings align with buyer expectations.

The Washington County housing market is stable, yet it remains competitive. Whether you’re buying or selling, success in this environment comes down to being informed, realistic, and prepared. Every neighborhood is different, and every move requires a plan. If you’re thinking about your next step, feel free to call or text me at 435-229-0704 or email me at rylan@thestgeorgerealtor.com.
