St George (real estate, rent, credit)

[Muhnay]

Can anyone give me the low down on St George Utah?

School Quality Elementary to High Schools.

Jobs and the base wage?

Entertainment and community events.. do people go out and enjoy these?

Average temps.

And of course your feelings on the city.

What about home prices.

[drwnorth]

That's one not many wish to speak of right now unless its to blow smoke your way with the positive approach of "its bottomed out" or "will recover" in six months.

Fact is its already way down from peak '06-'07, still heading down, and the bottom is more likely than not to hit beyond six months....

People selling their home probably don't want to hear that. I want to buy there and possibly live in it in three years, so of course I want to buy it at bottom. I sold a house in northern Utah in May 2007 and was lucky to sell it. After that nothing was selling in the neighborhood. The summer of 2006 everything was selling in a couple days. So everywhere is getting hit for sure

The r.e. market here is just about like everywhere else, prices are dropping, but it won't last forever...if you are planning to stay a few years, you should be fine. You could alwys rent, to see how you like it first.. If you find a home you want and love, just LIVE in it and don't worry about the ups and downs so much..

Thats true. We won't be moving for 3 years so I guess my dilema is to buy it now and rent it out, and then live in it when we move there from OK, Or wait and buy it when we actually move there. If real estate goes way up, maybe I wont be able to afford it when we move there.

If you guys are for sure moving here I would for sure buy while prices are low. In my opinion, and mind you, it is just an opinion, prices will go back up to ridiculously high numbers, I would say within the next couple years. There are still a lot of people that want to live here and that are moving here and that makes the prices of everything here rise.

Well not for another 2 years.. I cant at this junction.. but I like to be well informed and plan ahead. Right now I am researching many areas. I know I don't like where I am at, and I have been so many places that I am not sure where I want to end up. I also have to work on my credit some.. Its not in the best shape.. its not really bad, and it is getting better.. just not house buying good right now. It is at about 613 on the score thing. a Realtor told me to be above 650 and closer to 700 to get better rates.. so thats what I am working on.

Also the delay in moving is do to a family member who needs us close by right now. My son also wants to finish High School here with his friends.. so I can sacrifice my wants for now so they can have theirs. But thanks for thinking of us.
