St George Ut Real Estate Market Statistics
Welcome to our friendly local St George Ut Real Estate market statistics updates. We wanted to make available comprehensive realty related information and pertaining to the area FOR YOU!
One of the lowest housing appreciation states used to be Utah. That is one reason why there was such a rush on our area. Although, we spiked fast and hard in Southern Utah, and what went up, did come down... still we never really appreciated as high as some other Southwest real estate major cities. However, local perception may not perceive this. As such, local buyers may have helped work on values to get them down to overall favorable conditions.
St George Utah experienced some of the highest housing price appreciation in the nation during 2004 through early 2006. It can be explained by a lot of investors, baby boomers, and buyers alike, seeking that last frontier of affordable housing. The Californian buyer could come out here and retire in style. Once that market seized up, so did St George. What went up, has come down to 'pre-state' values.

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.
