About Iron County, UT

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: There are currently no homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service. In the past 12 months there have been no homes sell in the G R Parry Subdivision. It is a built out subdivision and an extremely stable subdivision.

G R Parry is one of the great subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market!

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 mostly starter homes, there are a couple of custom homes in the subdivision, but for the most part it consists of starter homes.

There is currently 1 home listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service. It is listed at $129,900. In the past 12 months there have been 2 homes sell, ranging from $106,000 to $125,000. There is currently one lot listed for sale at $18,900.

Market Update 3/13/2012: There is currently 1 homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service. It is listed at $144,500. In the past 12 months there have been 3 homes sell. They have ranged in price from $106,400 to $129,000. There are currently no lots listed for sale in Sky Ranch.

The Sky Ranch Subdivision is a great place to live! It is another of the gems in the Cedar City Real Estate Market!

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 are on the "Enoch Half Acre lot size". That really means that the lots were originally 1/2 acre lots, then the roads were platted taking from that half acre size until they are really about .44 to .46 of an acre lots.

There are currently 8 homes listed for sale in our Multiple Listing Service, ranging from $69K to $200K.

Market Update 12/27/2011: There are currently 5 homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service ranging in price from $66,000 to $315,000. In the past 12 months there have been 2 homes sell one at $70,000 and the other at $115,000. Garden Park Estates has no lots listed for sale. It is a subdivision that is almost completely built out.

Market Update 2/12/2012: There are currently 2 homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service ranging in price from $129,900 and $159,900. In the past 12 months there have been 4 homes sell. They have ranged in price from $70,000 to $116,000. Again this is a subdivision that has been built out, so there are no lots for sale.

Garden Park is another great subdivision in the Cedar City Real Estate Market, many first time home buyers buy in Garden Park and there are many residents who have lived there for more than 20 years.

One of the huge advantages of Garden Park is that it has mature landscaping!

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 model homes in the Foothills RV lot. This RV lot is unique in that you actually buy the lot space rather than renting it. For those looking for less maintenence, there are even some condo complexes!

There are several subdivisions in Parowan that I will highlight individually, this is just an overview of the town in general. This posting will reflect all of the homes listed for sale in the Parowan area, including those inside of individual subdivisions.

Currently in the Multiple Listing Service there are 60 homes for sale in Parowan. They range in price from $29,900 to $999,999, this ranges from a mobile home in the Foothills RV Park to a large ranch home on over 40 acres. Parowan is the gateway to Brian Head Ski Resort, and is a nice, central location to have a second home. In the Cedar City Area Real Estate Market towns like Parowan are some of the real "jewels" to be found!

Market Update 12/27/2011: There are currently 53 homes listed for sale in the Parowan area ranging in price from $22,000 to $999,999. In the past 12 months there have been 33 homes sell in the Parowan area ranging from $12,000 to $535,000. There are currently 96 lots for sale ranging from $5,500 to $500,000.

Market Update 3/12/2012: There are currently 52 homes list for sale in the Multiple Listing Service in the Parowan area. They range in price from $12,500 to $999,999. In the past 12 months there have been 34 homes sell in the Parowan area. They ranged in price from $12,000 to $575,000. There are currently 81 lots or land parcels for sale in the Parowan area. They range in price from $14,000 to $2,700,000.

In doing updates to my series of subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market, I realized that there are several great subdivisions that I had overlooked initially. Spanish Trails is one such subdivision, it is in Enoch. It is a mixed subdivision of “stick built” and manufactured homes. The subdivision dates back to the late 1970’s but there are several new homes located there as well.

Spanish Trails homes are located on large lots, .4 of an acre and larger, and have historically been mostly starter homes although there are a few larger, custom styled homes. There are animal rights available in Spanish Trails, so it isn’t uncommon to see homes with horses in the back yards.

This is a subdivision that was hit pretty hard with the bursting housing bubble. Many of the foreclosed homes have sold, but there are still a few remaining. Some of the foreclosed homes were sold then torn down with new homes replacing the old homes.

There are currently 4 homes listed for sale in Spanish Trails, ranging in price from $85,000 to $175,000. In the past year there have been 5 homes sell ranging in price from $43,000 to $125,000. There is currently one building lot listed for sale at $37,900 for a .53 acre lot.

Market Update 3/8/2012: There are currently 3 homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service. They range in price from $72,000 to $175,000. In the past 12 months there have been 6 homes sell in the Spanish Trails Subdivision. They ranged in price from $41,600 to $135,000. There are currently 1 building lot listed for sale. It is listed at $37,900 for .53 of an acre.

Spanish Trails is still one of the more active subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market. This is still a great place to live, and you have room to stretch out and not have neighbors right on top of you.
