Living In Cedar City

Tonight there will be a concert to help raise money for the annual Groovefest.  It is being billed as a support party.  The party will be at Mike’s Tavern 90 West Hoover Avenue, Cedar City.  This will cost $5 and begin at 8 PM.  There will be several bands and entertainers, so it should be a lot of fun.

For those unfamiliar with Groovefest, it is a music festival that is put on every year at the Main Street Park in Cedar City.  Music Acts come in and have a free concert in a festival setting with vendor booths and lots of fun.  Many of the acts are local bands, so it is a great opportunity to support and check out the local talent.

There are fund raisers during the year to help continue this festival and keep it free to the public, so it really is a great cause, come out and support Groovefest!

Today from 11AM to 3PM there is a Solar Eclipse Extravaganza.  This is free and will be held at the Cedar City Aquatics Center.  There will be speakers, and view of a safe eclipse through a telescope.

Then later tonight there will be a “Sweet Spot” Concert in Kanarraville.  The cost is $12, tickets are available at Groovacious, the Cedar Band Trading Post off of Exit 51 on Interstate 15 and at the gate.

The location is Cobble Crest 190 East 100 South, Kanarraville.  The concert is being put on by singer-song writer Doug Haywood and features Karyn Whittemore.  The gate opens at 6 PM, the concert begins at 7:30 PM.

The Cedar City Real Estate Market has some great smaller subdivisions.  Cove Ridge is one of those, it doesn’t have a lot homes, but the homes that are there are really nice ones.  Cove Ridge is staying in the same general area of town as the two Black Rock Subdivisions.  Cove Ridge is comprised of what I would call move up style homes. Cove Ridge is a subdivision that is still relatively new, and is a nice area with some great mountain views.

This is a very nice subdivision built in the early 2000′s. There is currently 1 home listed for sale on our MLS in the Cove Ridge Subdivision for $249,900.

Market Update 5/19/2012:  There are currently no homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service.  In the past 12 months there has been 1 home sell.  It sold for $114,000.  There are no lots listed for sale in the Cove Ridge Subdivision.  The Cove Ridge Subdivision continues to be a stable, desired destination in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.

Cove Ridge really is a great asset in the Cedar City Real Estate Market, it is in a prime location with some great homes!

There is light at the end of the tunnel!  Last October a massive landslide destroyed a section of SR14 in Cedar Canyon.  This is a major road, providing access to Duck Creek, Mammoth Creek and Cedar Breaks National Monument as well as to Kanab and even Lake Powell.  It has been closed since the landslide.

Several weeks ago construction began to repair the road and provide access.  The target was to get the road open by mid to late summer.  On Thursday, May 23^rd at 3 PM a dirt road will open up and provide access to those destinations.  This will be a dirt road, and drivers should expect it to be 2 lanes, one going in each direction.

This may not be a road to take your boats over until it is finally completed, but to be honest after nearly 8 months of long detours, there is light at the end of the tunnel!  The road will remain open through all of the Memorial Day Weekend.  After the Holiday weekend, the road will be open beginning May 29^th from 7 PM to 7 AM, then close during work hours.  The road will be open on Saturday and Sunday.  Remember that the road will be closed from 7 AM to 7 PM while the workers are working on the road.

So the good news that there will be access, albeit a little restricted as far as times of travel.

I have mentioned before that the Cedar City Real Estate Market has a few subdivisions with detached single family units mixed in with twin homes or duplex styled homes.  The Terraces at Black Rock is another of those mixed subdivision in Cedar City.  It is a newer subdivision built in 2005.  It is another subdivision that saw a lot of sales to investors initially.  It is on the East edge of the Black Rock Subdivision.

There is currently only one of the twin home units listed for sale in our MLS, listed at $110,000.

Market Update 5/18/2012:  There are currently no homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service.  In the past 12 months there have been no homes sell in the Terraces at Black Rock.  Currently there are no land listings in the Terraces at Black Rock Subdivision.

This has turned out to be one of the more stable subdivisions in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.  It is still one of the more desirable subdivisions for home time buyers and investors alike.

As many of the astronomers know, this Sunday there is going to be a solar eclipse.  The place to be to see this natural wonder is none other than Kanarraville, Utah.  It has been said that Kanarraville is the best place to view the eclipse.  The small town of Kanarraville is excited about being the epicenter of such an event.  There are estimates of up to 40,000 people expected to show up in Kanarraville to see the eclipse.

The solar eclipse is expected to take place from approximately 6:30 to nearly 8:40 PM Sunday evening.  There has been a 5 acre field that the City has designated to view the eclipse from.  It is just south of town along old Highway 91.  I have seen a couple of solar eclipses in my lifetime, so I am not sure if I am willing to brave the crowds to try to get a better view of it.  I will say this much, we live less than 20 miles north of than this site, so I may just check it out from the back yard!

If you do decide to come to enjoy the phenomena, please respect private property rights.  The prime viewing area is in line with several ranches with pasture ground holding livestock.  These areas will most likely remain no trespassing zones, and you should respect the rights of the landowners.

The Cove Subdivision is one of the gems in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.  The Cove Subdivision is a mature subdivision built in the early to mid 1980′s.  It is made up of single family detached homes.  It is still a very nice subdivision.  Homes vary in size, and as the subdivision was built in phases, there are some homes that are a lot newer than the original homes.

There are currently 5 homes listed for sale in our MLS in the Cove Subdivision, they range in price from $97,099 to $298,900.  There is a pretty good range in the size of homes available in the cove as the home listed for $298,900 has just over 2700 finished square feet.

Market Update 5/18/2012:  There are currently no homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service.  In the past 12 months there have been 7 home sell.  The sold prices on these homes range from $79,275 to $153,000.  There is one lot listed for sale at $55,000 for a .45 acre lot.

The Cove Subdivision is still one of the more desirable locations in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.  It is even more so now that Cove Drive has been finished allowing access to the subdivision directly from the South end of the city, including the Walmart.

The Cedar City Real Estate Market has a few Planned Unit Developments, or PUD’s, The Black Rock Subdivision is one of those.  This is a well maintained PUD in so much I thought that it was newer than it is.  Black Rock was built around 1996.  I thought that it was built around 2000, but I was mistaken.  It is comprised of detached single family homes that are generally 3 bed 2 baths with anywhere from 1200 to 1900 square feet depending on the model.

There are currently 5 homes listed for sale in our MLS ranging in price from $120,000 to 160,000.

Market Update 5/17/2012:  There are currently no homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service.  In the past 12 months there have been 4 homes sell.  The sold prices on these homes ranged from $95,500 to $120,000.   There are currently no lots listed for sale.

Black Rock remains one of the really nice areas in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.

In the Cedar City Real Estate Market we have a few townhome subdivisions. Stone Gate is one of the newer townhome subdivisions that we have here in Cedar City.  Unlike most of the others townhomes, many of these townhomes have basements.  Like Eagle Point, it is located in the Northern part of Cedar City.

These units were built in the past couple of years, some finished this year.  These are large units with just over 2000 square feet.  They are located near the Movie Theaters at the North End of Cedar City.

There is currently one unit listed for sale in our MLS.  It is listed at $139,900.  This is a nice subdivision, most of the units have upgraded featured like solid surface counter tops.

Market Update 5/16/2012:  There are currently no homes listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service.  In the past 12 months there has been 1 home sell.  It sold for $84,900.  There are no lots listed for sale.

This is a great town home subdivision in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.

Eagle Point is another tremendous asset in the Cedar City Real Estate Market, this great condo complex is located at the North End of Cedar City.  It consists of two story and single story units.  The two story units were built in the mid 1990′s and are typically around 1600 square feet.  They boast fairly large bedrooms and a single car garage.

The single story units were built in another phase in the early 2000′s.  They were initially marketed to retired people who didn’t want to deal with stairs.  As far as I have been able to find out, the complex has been built out so there will not be any new units added.

Currently there are 3 homes for sale in the two story units ranging from $112,000 to $127,000.  I was unable to find any of the single story units listed.

Market Update 5/15/2012:  There is currently one house listed in the Multiple Listing Service.  It is listed at $168,000.  In the past 12 months there have been 4 homes sell.  They have ranged in price from $76,900 to $118,900.  There are no lots for sale currently.  Eagle Point has remained one of the more popular destinations in the Cedar City Real Estate Market.
