My oldest son purchased a 4000 sq ft.beautiful brick home in a newer very nice neighborhood in Bloomington, Illinois for $89/sq ft a.year ago. It's nearly $300 per sq ft here in St George. I guess it is indeed location.
have you been to illinios? I would freaking hate it there. state run by libs. corn fields and farms outside the cities. no mountains, no rivers with trout in them. no deserts with public lands. there is a reason the house is cheaper. I think utah is seeing a massive migration because its still kinda a conservative state and people see just what a variety of things that can recreate doing around here. St george is awesome too. we love going there, for the reasons I stated.
