About Washington County & St George, Utah

“We are very proud of where we live and work. Washington County is known for warm winter weather, snowbirds, and beautiful red rock scenery. It has been known as Utah's Dixie since pioneers settled here in the 1850's. Championship golf, tennis, walking paths, biking trails, hiking, warm, snow-free winters and year long low humidity all make life attractive here.

In the mid 1960's the county's population was about 10,000; today, it is well over 140,000. In fact, our population has nearly doubled each of the last three decades!

We are home to the world-renowned Snow Canyon State Park and the Tuacahn Center with its 1,200 seat outdoor amphitheater and the magnificent Zion National Park. The county has the benefit of a large, ultra-modern convention center, the Rosenbruch World Wildlife Museum, and the 1200 seat Cox Performing Arts Theatre that is on the Dixie State College campus. We want to invite you to come and enjoy our breathtaking scenery and hospitality!” http://www.washco.utah.gov/  Link to “Community”

“St. George is known as "Utah's Dixie" because of its temperate climate. Mild winters make it ideal for golf year-round - 10 of Utah's best courses are located there! The city is the business and cultural center for SW Utah, and is a major gateway to nearby Zion National Park.” http://www.utah.com/stgeorge/  Also link to “Community”

“People relocate to our area for various reasons. It might be because of the excellent quality of life, the many breathtaking scenic areas, the temperate climate, the healthy lifestyles, the variety of beautiful golf courses, our outstanding school system, the Dixie State College education opportunities for all ages, or the growing business opportunities.

Whatever the reason or combination of reasons, this is a great area in which to live and work. We invite you to join us where the "summer sun spends the winters."

Housing in St. George and the nearby cities of Santa Clara, Ivins and other Washington County communities offer a variety of sizes and styles to suit the demands of the most discriminating home buyer. The average sales price of a home in Washington County as of September 2009 was $228,000, but has declined with the slowing of the economy.

A slowdown locally caused by hyper-inflated prices and a flood of homes on the market have certainly make things much more competitive and the "Sellers" market which has been the norm for years has now shifted towards a "Buyers" market. The equalization in the market is a much needed adjustment as it begins to right itself after years of unprecedented and unsustainable growth.
