crested butte real estate: Outside Magazine and a Jekyll and Hyde Market
- 11/30/09 02:07 AM
Happy Holiday Season from Crested Butte! Outside Magazine's November 2009 edition lists Crested Butte as one of America's top ski resort destinations.

Here it's steep and cheap-the lodging is mid-level luxury. We aren't on the giant strip mall that is I-70. Look, there's no better place to ski than Vail if you love groomed runs. But if you think grooming sucks and you're a fun-loving powder skier, Crested … (0 comments)

Crested Butte has become particularly challenging and in Gunnison owning a home is no cake walk either. BBC's rep told the Gunnison County Commissioners last week that "a person who moved to the Gunnison Valley and purchased a home in 2000 would … (0 comments)

Mid-summer real estate sales activity in Crested Butte picked up enough to give our market a very important "shot in the arm" confidence booster. We limped into the historically busy summer selling season after a dismal end to 2008 and first half of 2009. Our market was down almost 65% and by the end of May things were looking pretty grim for summertime sales.
But, in July and August we experienced some very impressive buying activity particularly for luxury homes at the higher end of our market. Our market rebounded with July 2009 sales numbers actually doubling … (0 comments)
