September 2017

School is officially back which means routines are back to normal and the crazy summer is behind us. Cooler weather is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited. As for real estate, it’s still moving! And there are plenty more projects coming down the pipe that you’ll see below. The biggest project will be the Bluff Street corridor transformation. There’s a link below to the video that shows what exactly will happen. Big changes to keep the possibility of growth alive here in Southern Utah! Check out what is new and if you know anybody looking to buy or sell a home, invest in real estate, or has any questions at all, let me know and I can help them get started.

Enjoy!
