rocky mountains: The safety of the Colorado mountains - 02/20/09 09:41 AM
I just love showing property here on the side of the Continental Divide...surrounded by 13- and 14,000 foot peaks.  The beauty is astounding and so far, the housing market is holding tight.  I have not noticed any real slip in property values, although sales numbers were down for 2008.  On the other hand, I have the longest list of potential buyers that I have ever had at this time of year and many of them are actively looking and plan to buy this Spring.  This early season activity is supported by my colleagues in other offices, which makes us feel very … (3 comments)

Here in Buena Vista, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, property sales are down from past years mainly because our buyers come from places where the real estate market has taken hard hits.  The property values here are holding quite well, foreclosures are not an item, and finding bargains is not easy.

Here in Buena Vista, at 8,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies, we have just experienced the snowiest and coldest winter on record.  Today the sun is out and the temperature is in the 40s and the snow is melting.  And through it all, buyers of second and retirement homes have been quite busy, getting the real estate sales season off to a great start.  The hottest section of the market is $350,000 and upward which is typically where the custom-built resale market is. 
Needless to say, there are some great properties to be had and many of those will be going this … (1 comments)

rocky mountains: A $1.3million view - 03/17/07 08:57 AM
Well, I never did make it to the high county with the snow shoes.  I have clients coming in this weekend looking for a unique piece of property.  I had picked about three to look at, but one is so snowed in that the listing agent suggested that we wait a month.  That left two and the listing agent had not yet been to the $1.3m parcel because of snow, but he called and said the road was open and I should go take a look. 
The road is a about 3 miles long with a climb of about 1000 feet and … (0 comments)
