Most out-of-state buyers get two days here, and they spend the first one learning the geography they could have learned before they flew.

Decide the corridor before you book the flight. St. George, Washington, Hurricane and Ivins are twenty minutes apart and completely different places to live — in elevation, in what the summer feels like, and in who your neighbours will be.

Then give the second day to the shortlist and the third, if you have it, to driving the commute you will actually be doing.
