March 2020 St George Real Estate Market Report
What an unusual time we are facing in the world today. The pandemic is something everyone has considered, but few have planned. We are still quite early into the ripple, and the full extent of the effect may not be realized for several months. Perhaps it will be a small blip on the radar, or maybe it will spiral. I suspect the result will be somewhere in the middle. My thoughts are that the housing market will momentarily lose some traction, but I do not suspect that we will see anything genuinely significant. Honestly, I'm wondering if this could be the calm before the housing surge. People are taking a life break, spending time with family or alone, and likely reflecting on life. Those who have been considering changing their current situation, moving across town or cross country may decide at this moment….(or once we are in the clear) to act now on these pent-up plans. Others may be financially forced into it, job or pay loss may result in forced sales and relocation. With ridiculously low-interest rates, stocks that were seeing all-time highs (I'm sure many people moved their profits to a more stable portfolio at the first sign of this impending trouble)…I don't know—I think we may see a bit of a frenzy when the wave recedes.

Opportunity knocks! You can live in a rare 55+ gated community right here in St George. Reflections is a smaller, more exclusive section of Sunriver having their private amenities, and the ability to utilize everything you already love about the main SunRiver amenities.
Because of the vast ceiling height, there are big windows that fill the home with light and view of the beautiful greenery and sky. The master bedroom features a glass surround shower and separate tub, perfect for relaxing. There are handicap features in the shower and bathroom, making this home is ideal to age in place.
Meadow Valley Farms is a custom home neighborhood in Little Valley (St George), and the homes are on larger parcels of land being half an acre or one-acre lots. The area is farm-friendly, meaning you can have horses or other animals. This home was built in 2015 and custom. Shy of 4300sqft, having most of the living on the main level and with timeless selections, this home will appeal to many. The master, casita, and another bedroom (used as an office) is downstairs (along with 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath). Upstairs you’ll find 3 additional bedrooms, a large bonus room with a Romeo & Juliet balcony that opens to the entry. The bonus room also offers a large outside (covered) balcony patio which looks to the north and enjoys Pine Mountain Views and views into the red mountains (city lights at night too). There is a full bath (with 2 vanities) and another half bath upstairs as well. 
As you approach the front door, you’ll notice the custom iron door with panels that open to enjoy fresh air during our many months of excellent St George weather. The grand entry offers vaulted ceilings, and views to the mountain and backyard. The office is just off the front door, there are glass double doors, and this is a functional bedroom with a large closet and window if you’d like to use it as such. The Casita or guest room is ahead, with an exterior entrance and ensuite bathroom. The master is also on the main floor, and it’s very spacious, with views to the back overlooking the pool and views. The master bath offers a freestanding tub, extra-large zero entry shower, and extra-long double vanity featuring granite carried throughout the home — two closets (his and her wardrobe) just off the bathroom. 
The beautiful staircase adds to the details with a well-thought-out place for your Christmas tree right at the curve of the staircase. The great room is spacious, as is the kitchen. The island is abundant, with suspended seating and a full-size dining room just off the kitchen. All doors and drawers feature soft-close, and they are taller/deeper for added storage. All details were carefully thought out, giving the most amount of space as well as the best use of space. The in-counter microwave will allow better access for users, and the induction Kitchenaid cooktop is certainly a sought-after feature. If you’re a person that prefers a gas cooktop—you’ll likely change your mind quickly after you realize how amazing an induction is—but if not—there is already a gas line stubbed in so you can switch it out. Down the hall, you find the half-bath and the laundry/craft room. Even the laundry room has a beautiful view. There is an exterior door offering easy access from the pool to the half bath just outside of the laundry room. .jpg)
The backyard is fantastic. There is so much space to turn your dream into reality. There is already a wood fence; if you’ve got horses or farm animals, they can go back there. Or, if you’d like to add an RV garage and Sport Courts, …there is so much room. The pool was completed in 2017, featuring a salt system with high-end equipment, and automatic cover. Ample concrete around the pool gives you so much space to entertain. There are 3 patios and a small trail that takes you to the back. The spiral staircase takes you to the upper deck, where you’ll enjoy more of the view while still seeing the pool. Inside is the bonus room which is wired for surround sound. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, and all bedrooms are larger with big closets (as well as 3 more storage closets up there too!)
There were many upgrades added to the home during construction, including added insulation (interior walls and garage), solid core door, raised ceilings and doors, counter height vanities, cat 5 for rooms and security, and many upgraded electrical features. If you’d like to see this home, contact Paula Smith today for an appointment. Owner/Agent.
