2009: Pagosa Springs Real Estate Newsletter, November 2009
- 11/10/09 09:31 AM
Go Broncos! This year, the Broncos are 6 and 1, and we are leading the division. According to the “experts,” we were only supposed to win 4 games this year! The sports commentators remind me of the financial gurus. Neither seems to know what they are talking about. I believe I’m doing better thinking on my own and not worrying about the negative naysayers. Some good news! Real Estate sales for October were up 18% over the same period last year. There were 39 sales this October versus 33 last October. Year-to-date sales are down 29%, which is a 3% improvement … (0 comments)
2009: June 2009 Newsletter

It’s been a busy past week. Last weekend, I had four buyers come to work with me. On Saturday, I had appointments at 10:00 a.m., noon, and 3:00 p.m.. Sunday at 9:00 a.m. was the icing on the cake! So far, two have written contracts to buy homes. The third is close to buying, and the fourth has been a marathon run. I have been working with these clients for three years, and they will buy when the “time is right and the right home comes along”. In today’s market, this amount of activity is truly special. To go along with … (0 comments)

The past month leaves me with little to report in the Pagosa market. Overall sales numbers have increased over the last month. This is largely due to activity in the residential sector, so we are beginning to see some "green shoots" in the market. For the buyers, great deals abound. The Colorado dream is now more affordable than it has been in several years. The stats tell the story this month, and you'll find them below. Have a happy Mother's Day! As always, the latest statistics are available on my website, ISellPagosa.com … (0 comments)
2009: April 2009 Newsletter

I feel a little "greener" mentally than I did a month ago. This is in part because I can see my grass for a change and a few flowers poking their heads out. The financial markets are also showing a little more green, as the stock market has rebounded about 20% in the past few weeks. I am refinancing my home and locked in at 4.75% with no points, which will save me about $300 per month. Mortgage rates are the lowest in recent history. I know we are not out of the woods yet, but my consumer confidence is better. … (0 comments)

As I write this letter, I am looking out the window and it is snowing hard. Supposedly, we will get 1 to 3 inches. I think the weatherman has lied again. So far, this winter is reminiscent of last year, the toughest winter in 25 years, only this one has gotten a big head start. If you are in the snowplow business, there is no recession. Speaking of the economy, I’m doing my best to be optimistic. The first two days of 2009, the stock market was up by the biggest percentage in history. Mortgage rates are down. I’m considering … (0 comments)
