Data collected during the first quarter of 1999 by Alan Hamlin, professor of business at SUU , indicate the slight bump in Cedar City and St. George prices.

Most-0f the St. George increase occurred in transportation costs (mostly gasoline), white Cedar City's reduction in utility rates largely offset higher fuel prices." Hamlin's study showed that an average 1800 square foot new home in St. George now costs $145,200, down somewhat from the previous quarter's $146,000, while the same home in Cedar City costs $111,755, sligh.tly !)igher than th& cost of the same home in the previous quarter.

That study was conducted in January. Apartment rents in Cedar City are now averaging $435 per month for a two bedroom unit, compared to $491 for St. George.
