houses for sale in parowan ut: Quality of Life......
- 03/17/12 05:11 PM
What factors are important to you as you plan where you're going to live. Is it convenience? Quality of schools? Safety? Commute times? Climate? Recreational opportunities? All of these factors combined to make a quality of life. I would add clean air, as well as other healthy environmental issues to the overall quality of life. There are many other factors, health care, cost of living, things like that. Everyone rates these items in order of importance. To some climate conditions are much more important than cost of living, to others it is just the opposite. Cedar City From Cedar

houses for sale in parowan ut: Cedar City Subdivisions..Westview Market Update 3/16/2012
- 03/16/12 06:33 AM
In the Cedar City Real Estate Market one of the newer great subdivisions is Westview Estates. By writing about it, I am staying in the county on the South West side of town. These homes are all on at least 1/2 acre lots. There is a good mix of homes in the Subdivision, some that would be considered upscale starter homes to larger more executive styled homes. There are currently 3 homes listed for sale in the MLS ranging from $185,000 to $190,00. If you wish to build your dream home, there are still many building lots available. Update 7/29/2011: Currently there

- 03/16/12 05:09 AM
Bladen’s Diamond Hills is one of the upscale subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. It is located on the East side of Cedar City, against the mountain. It is one of those subdivisions that rarely has homes come up for sale. It is built with mostly custom homes, many of which are quite large. Bladen’s is a small subdivision in number of homes, but ist still one of the premier locales in Cedar City There is currently only one home listed for sale in this subdivision, at $425,000, a little above my current price range. Anyway it is a

houses for sale in parowan ut: Cedar City Subdivisions...FA Thorley Market Update 3/15/2012
- 03/15/12 01:18 AM
The FA Thorley Subdivision is one of our larger subdivisions. It was built in several phases and is intersected by Interstate 15. It is just South of Southern Utah University, and does go up on to Leigh Hill West of Interstate 15. I am focussing on the area that is just South of the University. These are great homes, both to buy to live in and to buy as investments and turn them into rentals for students. The Subdivision is across the street from University Parking areas and the Tennis Courts. These homes were built in the early 1970's, they typically

houses for sale in parowan ut: Cedar City Subdivisions...G R Parry Market Update 3/13/2012...
- 03/13/12 06:00 AM
The GR Parry Subdivision is one of those great post World War II subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. It has the added advantage of being almost in the Center Part of Cedar City. It is near Southern Utah University as well as shopping and the downtown area. There have been 3 homes sell in the GR Parry Subdvision in the past three years, although currently, no homes are listed for sale in the MLS. This is another quiet subdivision that is close enough to the University to be attractive to investors as well as homeowners. Market Update 3/13/2012:

houses for sale in parowan ut: Parowan Subdivisions...Sky Ranch Market Update 3/13/2012
- 03/13/12 03:07 AM
The great thing about doing posts about the various subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market, is that I get to learn more about them as well. It appears as though I have failed to include the Sky Ranch Subdivision in my initial series of posts. I am going to remedy that today. The Sky Ranch Subdivision is located on the west side of Parowan, it is a subdivision that was built in the late 1990’s. There are homes that are newer than that, but the majority of the homes date to that time period. This is a subdivision of

houses for sale in parowan ut: Enoch Subdivisions...Garden Park Estates Market Update 3/12/2013
- 03/12/12 04:38 AM
Garden Park Estates is one of the older subdivisions in Enoch. Enoch, as I have mentioned in other blogs is about 5 miles North of Cedar City. It is a great place to live, it has larger lots so your neighbors aren't right on top of you, and it gives you room to have your children play. Garden Park Estates is a mixed subdivision, there are manufactured homes next door to "stick built" homes. It was a subdivision that was started in the 1970's, but took until the 1990's to build out as far as it is now. Again, these homes

As I have mentioned the one really fun thing about working in the Cedar City Real Estate Market is that we have several smaller cities that we work in. Parowan is one of those cities, it is also a City that is near and dear to me. My mother was born and raised in Parowan as was my grandfather. It is the county seat of Iron County and has a population roughly of 3000 people. There are all types of homes to be found in Parowan from Pioneer homes to brand new executive homes. There are also a lot of Park

houses for sale in parowan ut: Real Estate News and My Two Cents.....About Our Market...
- 03/07/12 08:05 AM
Just in case no one in the Cedar City Real Estate Market has noticed, we are running out of inventory. I know that may not be earth shattering news, I mean after all, Peyton Manning got released today! We are really running out of inventory for the first time home buyer market. In fact, homes listed under $135,000 that are in decent to good condition (and stick built) likely will have multiple offers within 24 hours after hitting the multiple listing service. I am talking about single family detached homes. We just had a notice posted by the local board of

houses for sale in parowan ut: Cedar City Subdivisions...College Vista Market Update 3/7/2012...
- 03/07/12 05:19 AM
After World War II there were many great subdivisions added to the Cedar City Real Estate Market. College Vista is one of those great subdivisions. It is also one of those subdivisions where there is almost no turnover. College Vista is like the name implies near the University. In fact University housing falls inside of this subdivision. College Vista is almost two subdivisions, the one that is a lot of investor owned property, and the other that is owned by homeowners. The latter I am going to treat in a separate blog, called Dewey Avenue. The former, is the subject

houses for sale in parowan ut: Cedar City Subdivisions...Cross Hollow Hills Market Update 3/7/2012...
- 03/07/12 01:39 AM
Cross Hollow Hills is another great subdivision in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. Cross Hollow Hills is just South of the North Ridge Subdivision. It is South and West of Cedar City, it is also in the County. It is an older subdivision, by that I mean that it has filled in a lot more than North Ridge, it was built in the late 1990′s and early 2000′s. Like North Ridge, it is on larger lots, lot size beginning at 1.75 acres and up to a little over 3 acres. Unlike North Ridge, there are animal rights in Cross Hollow

- 03/06/12 11:41 PM
We enjoyed a warm albeit very windy Tuesday. The temperatures were probably around 60 degrees, but it felt like it was in the 40's with the wind. I am glad that the storm held off, I had four real estate signs to put up! Anyway, I took some shots of the clouds with my phone while we were out and about putting up the signs. Darcy took this while we were driving down Old Highway 91 in Enoch This one was taken from our backyard. Today, we have already received about 4 inches of snow. You gotta love love

- 03/06/12 06:01 AM
I know that typically we have the Thankful Thursday posts here at Active Rain, but I just have some thoughts rolling around in my head that I wanted to get out. This Summer my Graduating Class from High School is having a reunion. I, for one, am really looking forward to the reunion. Sure I have kept in touched with my closest friends from High School, but the reality is that Cedar City is about 250 miles from Woods Cross, where I grew up and went to school. The reunion organizers have set up a group on Facebook. They have been

houses for sale in parowan ut: Cedar City Subdivisions...Gemini Meadows Market Update 3/5/2012
- 03/05/12 06:13 AM
Gemini Meadows is one of the newer subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. Gemini Meadows is another Twin Home or Duplex subdivision in Cedar City’s limits. It is at the Northern edge of the City’s boundary. It is another of the subdivisions that was built during our building boom of 2007. It is also the one of the worst casualties that we have had to the ongoing financial crisis. Many of these homes have never been lived in, and are in fact REO properties currently. A large number of building lots remain as well. I was really too bad,

- 03/02/12 05:05 AM
In the Cedar City Real Estate Market, there is one Subdivision that is a 55+ community, Crescent Heights at Mesa Hills. This is a subdivision within a subdivision. It is part of Mesa Hills. One of the nice things about Crescent Heights is that it is a walled community, and is at the top of Leigh Hill. The new city reservoir is just South of the community. The community is fairly new built in 2007. These are single family detached units, with 3 beds and 2 baths. They are roughly 1400 square foot homes on small lots (.1 of a acre).

Ironwood is one of the established subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. Ironwood is a great subdivision in that is centrally located.

The name isn't very Politically Correct, but it is a very nice subdivision in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. Indian Hills is situated on the South East side of Cedar City. This is another very stable subdivision, there are currently two homes listed for sale. This is a small subdivision of custom homes, built in the early to mid 1990's.
