Saint George Utah Real Estate, Listings, Links and Market Condition

As summer approaches and American travelers start looking at vacationing…while staying closer to home. Southern Utah in general, and Saint George Utah specifically starts to shine as a vacation destination for several reasons. It’s not because they can’t afford to travel out of state, but rather that they can save while they’re traveling the great Southwest.

With Zion National park just 45 minutes from downtown Saint George, its astonishing the scenic diversity that exists in Southern Utah…I had some friends from the Monterey Peninsula visiting me over the weekend. To hear them speak, you would have thought they were going on a safari to the Australian outback. After enjoying a day of hiking in Zion’s breathtaking canyons, it was off to Las Vegas (2 hours away) to see a show.

I found it interesting that my friends, who grew up in Carmel Ca., where most visitors can be heard speaking of its scenic beauty; were here in St. George, praising our natural wonders. I quickly point out the biggest difference between Saint George, and Monterey (aside from summer time temperature) is that our homes do not cost $1,000 per square foot…that’s their average. Oh yeah, and our state is not on the brink of financial ruin.

In any event, I found it interesting that my friends enjoyed our scenic diversity…All of that being said. It’s Moday 5/18/09…I keep these live links posted for the different search criteria that I receive the most requests for.
