    What My Clients Are Saying

    Susan Peck

    Jay was great to work with! He kept us updated and informed throughout the entire process of buying our home. He made himself available quickly anytime we had a question. Jay is realtor you will enjoy working with!

    Reserve Property Owners Association

    My wife and I recently worked with Jay Payson to sell our home in Ivins and purchase another in St. George, allowing us to be closer to a family member who needs our support. Jay’s knowledge of the market, pricing, and the overall process was outstanding. His calm demeanor, steady guidance, commitment to understanding our needs, and perhaps his greatest strength, his patience, made for a seamless experience. Beyond real estate, Jay also connected us with the right people for repairs and renovations, making the transition to our new home even smoother. We’re grateful for everything he did as we move into this new chapter. I enthusiastically recommend Jay. He was excellent in every way. — Tony

    Kimette Hughes

    I’ve worked with Jay on multiple real estate transactions, and he always puts his clients’ needs first. He’s professional, honest, and proactive, and he keeps everyone informed through each step of the process. Jay is great at problem‑solving and keeping deals on track, even when things get complicated. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who truly advocates for their clients.

    Common Questions

    Lifestyle & Climate

    How many sunny days per year does St. George have?

    +
    St. George averages 255 sunny days per year — nearly 50 more than the national average of 205 — and logs roughly 3,850 annual sunshine hours, one of the highest totals in the continental U.S.
    Winters are mild with highs in the low 50s. Summers are hot, with July regularly exceeding 100°F. Low humidity year-round makes the heat more manageable than it sounds, and most outdoor activity shifts to early morning and evening from June through September.

    What outdoor activities are near St. George, Utah?

    +
    St. George has more outdoor access within 30 minutes than most cities have within three hours.
    Snow Canyon State Park, the Bear Claw Poppy trail system, Sand Hollow Reservoir, Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, and OHV dunes are all within a short drive. Zion National Park is under an hour. Bryce Canyon is two hours. The area has 14 golf courses playable year-round, world-class mountain biking, canyoneering, road cycling, and fishing at Quail Creek. St. George hosts the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship annually.

    How far is St. George from Zion National Park?

    +
    Zion National Park is 41 miles from St. George — about 50–55 minutes by car via I-15 North and UT-9 East through Hurricane and La Verkin.
    The Kolob Canyons section of Zion is even closer — roughly 30 minutes from downtown. Few cities in the country put you this close to a park that draws four million visitors a year.

    Is St. George a good place to retire?

    +
    Consistently yes. Yahoo Finance ranks it among the top four retirement communities nationally and the top destination for nature and outdoors-focused retirees. Kiplinger lists it among the nation's finest retirement areas.
    The case is straightforward: 255+ sunny days, mild winters, Washington County property taxes at a 0.40% effective rate (less than half the national median), Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital on site, a regional airport with daily flights, and a growing community of active retirees. SunRiver alone has over 4,000 residents with golf, pools, pickleball, and fitness facilities. The pace is calm without being isolated — dining, shopping, and the arts are all here.
    Real Estate

    What is the average home price in St. George, Utah?

    +
    Median closed sale prices in St. George range from $510,000 to $575,000 depending on the data source and time period, with median listing prices running $575,000–$630,000.
    Price per square foot across the broader market averages $260–$280. The range is wide: townhome communities start in the $300s, while custom estates in gated neighborhoods like Entrada, Stone Cliff, and The Ledges reach $5M and above. Washington County's median runs slightly higher than the city proper.

    What does luxury mean in the St. George real estate market?

    +
    Luxury in St. George starts around $1M, but price alone doesn't define it. True luxury here means gated access — communities like Entrada at Snow Canyon, Stone Cliff, The Ledges, and Black Desert — custom desert architecture, private or semi-private golf, and price per square foot above $350.
    At the top end, estates in Entrada and Stone Cliff reach $5M–$10M. There are currently 70+ active listings above $1M across the Greater St. George area. What separates these homes isn't just finishes — it's the setting: red cliffs, canyon views, and desert light that no amount of renovation can replicate somewhere else.

    Is St. George a buyer's market or seller's market right now?

    +
    St. George is approaching buyer's market territory as of early 2026. Months of supply sits at 5.4–5.7 — just below the 6-month threshold that traditionally defines a buyer's market.
    Active listings are up roughly 20% year over year. Homes are averaging 85–100 days on market, up from 66–78 days the prior year. The sold-to-list price ratio is running 95–98%, meaning buyers are successfully negotiating. Well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods still move — but buyers have real leverage, especially on properties listed 60 or more days.
    Taxes & Cost of Living

    Does Utah have a state income tax?

    +
    Yes. Utah has a flat 4.5% state income tax on all income — no brackets, same rate at every level. Nevada has no state income tax, which is a meaningful factor for buyers comparing St. George to Las Vegas.
    That said, Utah's property taxes are among the lowest in the nation — Washington County's effective rate is 0.37–0.40%, well below the national median of 1.02%. Utah also applies a primary residence exemption that taxes only 55% of your home's assessed value, reducing the bill further. For most homeowners, the low property tax substantially offsets the income tax.

    What are property taxes like in Washington County, Utah?

    +
    Among the lowest in the country. Washington County's effective property tax rate is 0.39–0.46%, compared to the national median of 1.02%.
    Utah also applies a primary residence exemption — only 55% of your home's assessed value is taxed, reducing the bill further. On a $500,000 home, expect roughly $1,850–$2,000 per year. On a $1,000,000 home, approximately $3,700–$4,000 per year. For buyers relocating from California, Texas, or the Pacific Northwest, the difference is significant.

    Is St. George cheaper than Las Vegas?

    +
    Housing in St. George runs about 20% higher than Las Vegas — median home prices near $550,000 versus roughly $450,000–$475,000 in Las Vegas. However, daily living costs favor St. George: groceries run about 6% lower, utilities 8% lower, transportation 5% lower.
    The biggest financial difference is taxes — Nevada has no state income tax while Utah's is 4.5% flat. Overall cost of living is within 3–9% between the two cities depending on methodology. The real distinction is lifestyle: St. George offers less traffic, lower crime, cleaner air, and an outdoor-focused community that Las Vegas doesn't replicate. For buyers prioritizing environment over economics, the comparison is less about cost and more about how you want to live.
