There is a new plan at SunRiver that everyone has asked for. “Make us a plan that is open and has flexible space…” It is just over 2,000 sq ft has a large kitchen and great room. It has a large master, 2 spare bedrooms and a Den. This home has lots of storage and big closets. Tall ceilings and large doors make this home feel like SunRivers larger homes. SunRiver has had a gap of product around the 2,000 square ft mark; this should give residents another option. Ask a sales agent to see the new plan, it’s being built for the first time in the Reflections gated community. This plan should become a superstar in the SunRiver Line up!

Bringing family close to home
August 30th, 2010 by Dalan Madsen No comments »For three years now, Dot Foster has been dreaming of Sharon and Dan joining her at SunRiver. You see, Sharon and Dan are not just close friends, but also Sharon is Dot’s daughter. Dan, after 39 years, of being Dot’s son in law, may as well be a son.
Sharon and Dan met in college and both enjoyed careers as data processing managers at the department of motor vehicles in California. Sharon and Dan are building a home just up the street from Dot Foster, over looking the river. They are excited about the views of Pine Valley, and living in a brand new plan custom designed to their lot and one of a kind views.
While they may not be an internet sensation like Dot, they at least come from that prestigious pedigree.
Welcome Sharon and Dan Goetzman!
CS Tip: Candle Wax Removal
August 30th, 2010 by HoneyDawn McElyea No comments »To remove wax from carpeting or other fabric, try this trick. First scrape any excess off, then place a brown paper bag over the wax and run a warm iron over it. The wax will melt right into the bag! Continue moving the bag around as you pick up the wax so you are always using a clean section. If a little grease stain remains on the carpet, sprinkle with baking soda and allow to sit overnight before vacuuming, which will remove the grease resid
Celebrate Oktoberfest in Brian Head
August 30th, 2010 by Micheal Green No comments »Brian Head, Utah is surrounded by folklore and hoopla, much like the original German Oktoberfest. Since they seemingly go hand in hand, there is no better place in Utah to hold Oktoberfest than Brian Head’s resort. The Navajo Lodge, where the fest takes place, is located amongst the 500 acres of ski slopes on the beautiful resort. Over a weekend in September, the Oktoberfest activities roll on from 12noon to late evening. Afterwards guests can go to another bar in Brian Head or turn in for the night in one of the resorts fine rooms. Everything is authentic German from food to beverage to choice of song and dance. The lodge is located on north on Highway 143 in Brian Head’s, Utah.
Located at the Navajo Lodge from 12:00 noon until 8:00 pm on Saturday and 12:00 noon until 5:00 pm on Sunday.
Home buyers reconsidering sales strategy
August 23rd, 2010 by Dalan Madsen No comments »Home Equity conversion mortgage (HECM) is having a big impact on sales at SunRiver St. George. Many buyers who have been waiting to get top dollar for their homes, and move to SunRiver, are now considering a HECM mortgage as a viable alternative to a traditional sale.
SunRiver Sales had a recent purchase where a individual bought a home with a purchase price of $235,000, normally a 20% ($47,000) down payment would be required with a mortgage payment of approximately $1,200 per month. By utilizing a HECM, this individual put $58,000 down, and makes no monthly mortgage payment for the rest of their life.
This is a FHA insured loan and is available to anyone that meets some general criteria (primarily 62 years old)
