Saint George Foreclosures, Short Sales, and Distressed Properties
Like Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Southern California, Southern Utah Real Estate was subject to some of the extremes associated with the housing boom and crash.
For a time, Washington County Real Estate had the highest real estate appreciation rate of not only Utah, but of everywhere in the United States. Because home values rose at an artificially high pace, in large part based on speculation, investors, and hype, the St. George area has a very high rate of Foreclosures and Short Sales. The properties purchased during the boom years have values of less than half of what they were worth just a few years ago.
This rapid price decline has made it nearly impossible for people needing to sell their homes to sell. St. George has been victim to high numbers of short sales, foreclosures, and strategic defaults. While this situation is very unfortunate to those who purchased real estate during the peak years, it also presents great opportunities for home buyers today who want to experience life with the advantages that only St. George offers. Once again, real estate in Saint George Utah is affordable.
