I am about to buy a foreclosure in st george utah. I have a hard time finding alot of information on the southern utah market. I have followed it for 5 years but it does not fit into the trends of any other major city nearby. It is a whole seperate market from salt lake city. It is close to a phoenix or las vegas but it has very few jobs and econmy is so different. About 5 years ago houses were available for cash types prices with many under 100k. Then the prices went over 400k, now they are back in the 225-250k range.
I have watched anf there are more foreclosures coming but the majority are upper end 500k+ custom homes. I only want to pay 250k or less preferrably 2225k or less. With few jobs will the market fall alot more. Will land prices ever fall? Most land is BLM so developable land is a preminum. There is 37 year supply of lots but prices remain over 100k for .25 acre plus impact fees are over 20k some places over 30k to build with strict restrictions so building new is out.
Three of my neighbors who were renting and waiting like us re buying this month as well so is it time?
I just am curious if anyone besides a local realtor who is trying to sell has any views of southern utah.
