Ashdown Forest Subdivision in Cedar City is a very nice subdivision.  The subdivision is located just East of Fiddlers Canyon and is high enough to be in the pine trees.  The subdivision features walking trails, treed lots, and CC&R’s which protect the home owners investment but aren’t so limiting that they ruin the experience of living in Ashdown Forest.

Currently homes are selling in the $200,000 – $400,000 dollar price range and lots are selling from $35,000 – $50,000 dollar price range.  This is a significantly lower price then just 3 year ago.  Many people find the location desirable because it is just East of Canyon View Middle and Canyon View High School.  You also have Fiddlers Elementary school in the neighborhood.   These schools have all been highly rated for both academics and sports.

Currently I have a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home listed at $249,900.  The home features stucco and stone exterior, granite counter tops, tile floors and a cozy fireplace.   The home also has a bonus room above the garage.  It sits on .24 acres and features a 3 car attached garage.  

I have an amazing home in New Harmony I wanted to write about.  The home is 11,240 SF of pure elegance.   The home is built in the Southwest Style and no upgrades were left out.   This home sits on a 20 acre estate lot with 360 degree views from Kolob to the Pine Mountains.   The home is currently priced at $999,990 on a short sale but the bank is willing to look at all offers over $750,000.   In 2006 the home cost nearly $1,800,000 to build.  If you would like to preview this property please call me.  The owners are requesting proof of funds or a pre approval letter for at least $750,000 prior to previewing this exclusive home.   

Please call 435-701-0448 for more information.

In this post I want to cover the Iron County MLS sales numbers and reporting.  These #’s aren’t 100% accurate because there are sales that arent reported on the Iron County MLS but they should be a very good representation of our overall market.   For these numbers I will only be reporting the Single Family and Townhome/Condo sales.  

We had 302 total sales during the year (2009)   Of those sales the average price was $163,672 with an average list price of $178,462 for a differance of about 9% from list price to sold price.  

The average days on the market is 180 days!  That seems high to me but the numbers don’t lie.  I am guessing it has to take into account the agents that take listings at any cost then pester there clients for constant price reductions.  

The highest sold price in Cedar City this year was $475,000 with the highest list price that actually sold being $560,000.  

In 2008 The same search had 343 Sales compaired with the 302 in 2009 we had a reduction of about 12% in sales.  

The Average price in 2008 was $192,591 compaired to 2009 at $163,672 for a decrease in the average price of a home in Cedar City of 16% or just over 1.33 % per month!   This is another great reason why you shouldn’t overprice your home listing.  It is hard to reduce down and catch up when the market is declining at 1.33% per month!
