Riding the wave

By
Real Estate Agent with EXIT Realty Advantage Pagosa, Pagosa Springs, Colorado

Now that Spring is here and our Buying season had begun with full earnest, the Buyers who had gone dormant for the Winter are just now realizing that while they were comfortable in their "Den", the rebound has already began to show signs of growth.

It seems like the Buyers were playing the game, imitating the Stock Market and anticipating the low. You can't see much when your eyes are closed and those dreams, well, were just dreams.

The waves of activity are gaining in height and speed. Get on the next available raft! or boat, or canoe or innertube. The waves are to a point that if you did get on now, you won't scrape your bottom on the Riverbed.

Making and Riding the wave in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.... Yeeeeeeeehawwwwwww!

If you are still waiting for the bottom to hit here in Pagosa Springs, I'm sorry to tell you, but that happened in the last quarter of 2010. You may want to take the next vessel. The waves are getting good!

When looking for Mountain Properties in Southwest Colorado, Look me up and I'll drench you with opportunities.

Good Morning~Whitewater rafting is one of the things in my bucket of things to do, hopefully sooner than later. I love your line, "Look me up and I'll drench you with opportunities."

Have an AWESOME day!

We're riding the wave here in my area, too.  Just scheduled a "two settlement" closing day!  That hasn't been happening in quite a while!!

I have done this...Its cold water when you get started, but when you hit the rapids, nothing matters any more...paddle or drink water....

Michael ~ Thank you. While our prices are seeing a slow, gradual increase, some of the Buyers are still testing the waters. Sticking a toe into our market flow doesn't give the Buyer the full effect. They need to submerge themselves with the "current" market. Having an Agent with their hands on the pulse of our local market will assure the Buyers a safe trip and they'll arrive at their destination. The "Docs" will be there for them to sign when they finally come on board.

Faith ~ That is sooo cool to hear. It's nice for all of the Realtors that have hung on for the ride. It's almost like a tsunami effect... lol...   :)   2 Settlements? Congrats! Thanks for stopping in.

Richie ~ Indeed it is. Now that we've waded through shallows, the rapids are just ahead. Thanks for visiting.

John ~ Like a lot of the metro areas, seeing the wave in the high desert is a welcome and refreshing downpour. The blossoming is already taking place. Thanks for commenting.

Sara ~ I use "water colors"... lol... I'm glad to see Boise is also regaining its fluidity... Thanks for "drop"ping by.

Jeanne and Ralph ~ The waters of the San Juan River are moving quite well. The year started earlier than average, but I think there is still a couple of weeks of fun on the horizon... Thanks!   :)
