An Evening in the Vail Valley

Vail, Colorado Daily Photo - An Evening in the Vail Valley

I thought I might share this idillic shot taken on a recent evening listing photo shoot.  I think it conveys a lot about the many faces of our beautiful area.

The real estate market here continues to make a dramatic comeback.  In an intercompany email today, Julie Bergsten, Vice President of Slifer Smith and Frampton Real Estate, reveiled that the Slifer sales staff booked $76,097,500 in new contracts during the month of February just ended.  This volume was more of February 2011 which totalled $32,803,500!  Further encouragement can be found in that the 57 transactions were skewed more to the mid to higher price ranges indicating that the mid to high price range market is now returning.  It had been MIA for the last 18 months.

There are definite signs of a turn here.   If you have been thinking of making a purchase in Vail, don't wait!

Hi John, This is a wonderful photo story both in the photo and the  return of the market for higher end properties. I think 2012 is the true beginning of the eventual return to a stable " normal" market with price trends eventually going up.

Beautiful Photo... I visited your website at NilssonImages.com and you take gorgeous photos!

Luxury Home Marketing requires amazing Luxury photos. Maybe you could share some of your tips / best practices?

I'm reminded of the saying: "your website is your worldwide image, Does yours say Luxury?"

All the Best,
