Saint George, Utah Realtors sold more than $12 million worth of real estate since last Monday. 

From  Southern Utah's affordable golf properties to its breathtaking equestrian estates –  Washington County has a lot to offer would-be homebuyers looking to relocate to southern Utah.

Listed and sold for between $88 and $324 per square foot, southern Utah's real estate inventory has the right home for everyone.

As a Realtor that moved from the Monterey Peninsula to St. George Utah – I’ve witnessed firsthand, the full spectrum of price per square foot on golf course real estate. When I left the Monterey Peninsula in 2002, your average golf home was starting somewhere around $1,200 per square foot (per. sq. ft.). Conversely, our  currently run anywhere in the neighborhood of $120 per sq. ft., to $300 per sq. ft., based on amenities, upgrades and location.

My question is this, aside from Southern Utah, what other areas around the United States offers a reasonable cost of living index and an abundance of inexpensive golf courses? 

The reason I ask is this – as everyone knows, information is King. And if  Southern Utah isn't the right fit for any of my potential buyers,  I would like to know where to refer to them based on affordability and abundance of options. 

P.S. any Realtor with access to their local MLS system that would like do some reciprocal MLS link swapping please feel free to email me so that we can arrange this  mutually beneficial arrangement.

Hello bigger pockets world!

As I'm sure is not too uncommon, I left the real estate world in mid-2007. It was a painful decision that I felt forced into after our market was handed over to the banks – and the realtors that had already established relationships with their REO divisions. Not one for wallowing in misery, I opted to bow out of the real estate profession for a while and rely on my backup plan, Internet technologies. With seven years in the rearview mirror, and our real estate market looking like it's considerably healthier, I've decided to test the waters again, and hang my real estate license with a local boutique broker here in Southern Utah.

Straddling both sides of the 9 to 5 fence - I now find myself working from 4 AM until 1 PM at my day gig, then putting back together the pieces of my long neglected real estate website, and social network until late in the evening.

While it’s a long and arduous battle to reestablish contacts… As well as create new ones, I know it’s ultimately worth it.

I currently find myself trying to re-establish some high-value reciprocal links for SEO purposes. To those ends, I would very much like to get in touch with like-minded realtors, who are technologically inclined and would like to swap ideas.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
