St George Ut Real Estate History
St George Ut real estate history includes land being in short supply just before the boom of 2004 to 2006. Also, the city of St George had held back on building permits and we were caught with not enough product on the market when all the speculators came in here. This is our point- St George is attractive, a last standing sentinel of red vista color off the desert bottoms at 2000 feet in elevation just before you head upwards into colder weather. As such, scenery, centrality and mild winters mark the hustle and bustle here. Because product was scarce it artificially drove up prices and what went up did come down. Well, the building crews overcompensated with too much product causing things to really come back down when the housing economy happened to go south for the rest of the nation. This overbuilding really puts a damper on the feeling of safety in the housing market. But make no mistake St George's mystique is real.
As such, our feeling is that we really haven't got our full up and comings as time may bear it out. We haven't seen that steady and hardy increase of acclaim with St George being one of the newest and hottest places on the map in the Mid-West where retiree's flock. Additional businesses will come with the presence of our new airport in 2010, and where hosts of truckers and travelers continue to turn heads when driving through. We are still small enough for locals to appreciate the cities growing amenities for both family and retiree fun. The world famous Huntsman senior games are here and they will continue to grow.
We realize that some of the below information is historical information, but we opt to keep it here so you can see the history of real estate here in the St George Ut area.
