Kayenta Real Estate Market Update
Many of our Kayenta residents who typically escape southern Utah during the dog days of Summer have found their way back home again, and all of us are enjoying crisper morning walks and cooler evening breezes as we gear up for the activities that Fall brings our way. We thought it might be a good time to provide an update of year-to-date home sales activity through the first three quarters of 2019.
So far this year, 15 homes have been sold in the community through MLS. The average list price on these homes was $790k and the average sales price was $773k (or 98% of asking price), which is a fairly strong result. The size and age of the homes sold varied greatly. The oldest home sold was built in 1990 and the newest resale was built in 2017, with the average of all homes sold being built in 2002. The largest home sold had more than 4,500 square feet while the smallest had just over 1,200 square feet, with the average being just over 2,500 square feet. The average price per square foot of homes sold to date for 2019 was $302 (ranging from a low of $216 to a high of $461 per square foot).
The average number of days on the market was 43 days, but that number ranged from just 2 days to 165 days in one case. The highest sales price was $1,550k while the least expensive home sold through the first 3 quarters was just under $460k.
As of 30 September, there are 8 Kayenta homes on the market for sale with and additional 7 under contract. The average list price is $875k, with the highest asking price being just under $1,300k and the lowest being $450k. Average list price per square foot on current listings is $287 per square foot (ranging from a low of $207 to a high of $350 per square foot).
Typically, with the Huntsman’s Games just around the corner and the Kayenta Arts Festival taking place in mid October, we anticipate foot traffic and interest from prospective buyers to increase in the coming weeks. In anticipation, we’ve completely revised and updated our Web site and invite you to check out the changes (as well as our current listings).

Don’t miss your chance to be awestruck, inspired, thrilled…bowled over! Make the cool months fabulous by putting these hot events on your calendar. Hot tip: get tickets fast before they sell out. We can’t wait to see you.
La bohéme—The Perfect Opera for First-Timers and Longtimers—October 3, 5, and 11.
For three nights in October, world-class performers will give Southwestern Utah a Broadway-caliber theater experience at a fraction of the cost. If you’ve never been to a live opera performance, you may wonder what all the fuss is about. If you’re curious, then David Sauer, General Director of St. George Opera and opera tenor advises: “La bohéme is definitely the first opera you should see.” Why? “Because,” he says, “La bohéme shows off what opera is all about: passion, expressed through moving melodies, a compelling story, striking costumes and sets. The music of La bohéme is some of the most beautiful and famous ever written and the plot is captivating.” In the 21st century, opera’s base of raving fans has grown, thanks in part to the Broadway hit musical Rent, which is based on La bohéme. But as far as which version of La bohéme to see, Sauer recommends you see the performances coming to Kayenta in October for two reasons: first, the performers. “We have a cast of world-class performers in our production whose vocal and stage talents are extraordinary.” Second, he says, “It’s the venue. I can’t overstate how the intimate black box theater heightens the experience. Audiences get to see the subtleties and nuances of facial expressions, gestures…details you wouldn’t be able to see in a large theater. It’s like watching a live movie.”
Tickets are selling for a fraction of what the show costs to produce and, says Sauer, “You may just have one of the best nights of your life.” (Note: Subtitles will be provided on screen.) We so appreciate our presenting sponsor Linda Schmal agent at Summit Sotheby’s.
Tenor David Sauer (Rodolfo, a poet) has drawn praise from the New York Times, Opera News, Salt Lake Tribune and others for his ‘handsome voice’ and ‘striking performance and vocal refinement.’
Soprano Kathryn Grumley (Mimi, a seamstress) South Florida Classical Review recognized her ability to “dominate the stage, owning every scene from the rise of the curtain.” She was awarded First Place in the Artist Division of the National Opera Association’s Carolyn Bailey & Dominick Argento Vocal Competition, 2019.
Paul Draper—Master Magician & Mentalist—Comes to Enthrall Southern Utah Audiences for One Night Only
“If you’ve got an embarrassing secret, you might want to bring a tinfoil hat [to the show].”
—Rick Lax, Las Vegas Weekly
October 12th, internationally acclaimed magician and master mentalist Paul Draper will “appear” at the Center to enthrall, intrigue and engage audiences with magic, music and mentalism. In his wildly successful career as an entertainer/educator/mind reader/mentalist, Draper has managed to boggle even the smartest minds. “Paul kept hundreds of our sharpest software engineers enthralled and intrigued,” said Apple research scientist Kim Silverman, who watched Draper’s private show for the company. Draper uses his wisdom and magic to challenge minds and hearts to find new ways of seeing—or not seeing—what’s right in front of their noses. As one guest at his Hallmark Channel show put it, “His mind games have got to be seen to be believed.”
“Zombies From the Beyond” Arriving Just in Time for Halloween Fun; This hilarious Off-Broadway comedy premiers October 24–31st
Written and composed by “Spitfire Grill” writer James Valcq, “Zombies From The Beyond” takes us back to the Eisenhower era when America’s fascination with outer space and sci-fi paranoia reached a fever pitch. Hollywood responded with legions of low-budget, sci-fi pulp movies that effectively embedded the genre into the American psyche. Valcq’s musical parody pays homage to one of America’s nuttiest phases and, notes director Heidi Anderson, “What better way to do it than with musical numbers thrown in?” As the Cold War and space-race paranoia threaten the good folks at the fictional Milwaukee Space Center, the staff is all abuzz at the arrival of rocket scientist Trenton Corbett. His budding romance with Mary Malone—daughter of the Space Center commander—is jeopardized when a flying saucer lands in Milwaukee. The craft, piloted by buxom alien aviatrix Zombina, is bent on procuring he-specimens to repopulate her planet. A “can’t-miss” for those who appreciate subtle, slightly irreverent humor and original music played by live musicians!
On Halloween night, guests are invited to don their favorite costume and join the cast after the show for a cocktail party complete with costume contest (prizes included), food and dancing.
Zombies From the Beyond is Sponsored by local businesses with a heart for art: Gulch Design Group, Sagewood Homes, Desert Concepts and Design. We thank them for their generous support in providing live entertainment of the highest caliber to our community.
See you at the theater!
Jan Broberg, Director, Center for the Arts at Kayenta

Voyager Lecture Series: Hear a Mysterious Legend from the Middle Ages
November 5
Not “once upon a time,” but rather precisely on June 26, 1284, early in the morning at seven o’clock (others say it was at noon), a mysterious stranger appeared in the town of Hamelin, Germany, and led 130 children down a street, through the town gate, and into a nearby mountain.

The Night’s Theme: You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
Coyote Tales are live, open-mic style storytelling events with amateur and experienced storytellers. Each event has a theme on which stories are to be based. The theme for this event is: “You Gotta Be Kidding Me!” Potential storytellers may address that theme in any way they choose. Prior to the event, storytellers craft their true, on-theme story, practice the telling (5 minutes or less), and work on eliminating excess detail to nail the perfect ending. When the doors open, potential storytellers put their name in the hat in hopes of being chosen to share their tale. If chosen, the storyteller takes the stage to delight the audience.
Special guests, Author Pam Houston, will tell her story, and sign books at the pre-party. Utah’s own Bill Wright will be on stage to share his almost unbelievable tale.
But, there’s room on stage for you too! If you’d like to share your true “you gotta be kidding me” story with us, please contact Victoria.
Everyone has a story – Thanks, Vic
This event is generously supported by Utah Humanities, Petite Feast, Desert Dwellers at Equity Real Estate and The Center for the Arts at Kayenta.
Giddy Up! I just found out Bill Wright, southern Utah rancher and patriarch of the most successful world-champion-saddle-bronc rider dynasty in rodeo will be tossing his name in the hat to get on stage and share his tale!
Before the show, Ms. Houston will attend the pre-party where she will sign copies of her new book, “Deep Creek: Finding Hope in The High Country.” (Please note: Admission to book signing and pre-party is intended exclusively for ticket holders to this evening’s Coyote Tales Storytelling event.)

INKAS – Ivins No Kill Animal Supporters
Advocate: Lois Hewitt
What an exciting month October is for INKAS!!!
October 11 – 13 is “Art in Kayenta.” The INKAS table will be there with special gift items for sale including pillows, jewelry and notecards. The art festival is always so meaningful to INKAS because we meet up with “old friends” and we make new friends as endearing stories are shared about how they rescued (or they were “rescued by”) their 4-legged family members.
October 25 – 26 is INKAS’ annual yard sale at 359 S. Puerto Dr., Ivins. These two days are hectic and fun as people from all over come to find “a deal or two,” and to share a “tale or two.” Donations of gently-used items are always needed. Please call Connie Butterfield at 435-817-1616 or Sara Dupre at 206-724-5902 to arrange for pickup.
The proceeds from these events allow INKAS to continue our mission in providing resources to assist the Ivins Animal Shelter, as well as local non-profit animal rescue groups, in maintaining a no-kill policy.
On November 2 INKAS will once again team up with PAWS to sponsor our Low-Cost Pet Clinic. As a service to the community we will be offering vaccinations and micro-chipping at very reasonable prices, This event is held at the Ivins Animal Shelter from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. For more information call Lois Hewitt at 435-414-4802.
