Where and What to Buy in Southern Utah

About this episode

Avery Carl and Cody Roberts discuss the appeal of Southern Utah as a short-term rental market and the factors influencing its growth.

Avery Carl is joined by Short Term Shop agent Cody Roberts to break down why Southern Utah has become an increasingly attractive short-term rental market. They discuss the tourism demand driven by Zion National Park and the surrounding outdoor attractions, the strict permit regulations that help prevent oversaturation, and the types of properties that perform best in the market. The conversation also covers the benefits of condos and townhomes with resort-style amenities, the appeal of purpose-built short term rental communities, and why investors need to understand local regulations before buying in areas like St. George and Hurricane.
