📍 Setting the Right Rent in St. George

If you own rental property in St. George or surrounding areas, you’ve likely asked:
“Am I charging too much — or not enough?”
Pricing your rental correctly is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Too high, and you’ll face long vacancies. Too low, and you leave money on the table every month.
Let’s break down what affects rental pricing in Southern Utah — and how to get it right.

💵 What’s the Average Rent in St. George in 2025?

📊 Factors That Affect What You Can Charge:
1. Location
Neighborhoods like Washington Fields, Little Valley, and Desert Color can command higher rents than older parts of town.
2. Condition & Upgrades
Updated kitchens, modern flooring, fresh paint, and curb appeal matter — renters notice.
3. Size & Layout
Open concept homes and 3+ bedrooms tend to attract higher-paying tenants.
4. Amenities
Things like 2-car garages, fenced yards, RV parking, and solar panels can increase value.
5. Pet Policies
Pet-friendly homes can often charge $50–$100/month more in rent — plus deposits or pet rent.
6. Included Utilities or Services
If you cover water, landscaping, or internet, that impacts what you can fairly charge.

📉 What Happens If You Overprice?
• Longer vacancy times
• More negotiating from potential renters
• Attracting unqualified tenants willing to “take anything”
Remember: vacancy is your biggest expense.
