Colorado Mountain homes- Glacier View Meadows’ luxury lifestyle

By
Real Estate Agent with United Country Ponderosa Realty, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

Sunlight Circle, Livermore Co offered by Ponderosa Realty AssociatesJune 2017 begins with an interesting shift in the Glacier View Meadows real estate market, in Livermore Colorado.

The majority of the homes available for sale today are very well appointed, higher end custom homes. Some have outstanding snowcapped mountain views, some a large barn, a 4 car garage or a large workshop with loft.  Each one is beautiful and unique, with outstanding craftsmanship, detail and upscale features.

(The median sold sales price in Glacier View was $309,000, in 2016

21 homes have sold since January. Median price for sold homes was $290,700.)

Inventory is extremely low, with only 11 homes on the market, and 8 of those are priced between $400,000 and $1.2 million. 

I hope you can appreciate why this current shift in the market is remarkable.  Half of the 8 higher-end homes are owned by the original homeowner and have never been offered before!   

This is a great opportunity for those discerning buyers who have been looking for a high-end mountain home near Fort Collins.  Until now, only a few were available in Glacier View.

Mummy Range View from Glacier View Meadows, Mary Douglas Ponderosa Realty 970-231-5756This mountain community offers a quiet and peaceful retreat, from the busy city-life. Only 45-50 minutes from midtown Fort Collins, Glacier View Meadows provides a little extra elbow room, with small acreage lots, far away from the daily hustle and bustle.  The commute to/from Fort Collins is an easy one via Hwy 287.  Commuters, telecommuters and many retirees make Glacier View their home.

 

Today 11 homes are on the market.  3 are listed below $400K

6 home sales are currently pending, in “Active/Backup” or “First Right” status.

21 homes have sold since January.

I’ve always said there is something for everyone here.  I’m happy to see the higher-end homes become available for those buyers who have been waiting.  We are expecting more moderate priced homes to come on the market soon.

Regardless of the amount of your investment, you will feel like a millionaire when you look out your window and see the beautiful snowcapped mountain ranges,  a field brimming with wildflowers, interesting and massive rock out croppings, a perfect sky of stars unpolluted by city lights, a herd of deer as they stroll through your property, or an occasional moose, bear or bobcat. Nearby recreation consists of small fishing ponds, lakes, trails for horseback riding, hiking, an 18 hole golf course, and endless opportunity to simply unwind and breathe.

We’ve lived here for 21 years, and love this place we call home.  I would welcome the opportunity to introduce you to this beautiful mountain community, and help you find your dream home, right here in Glacier View Meadows.

Hi Debbie,  Normally  there is something for everyone..right now the Glacier View Market is a little lop-sided with higher end properties- which is wonderful!  and hopefully we will get some new mid-priced homes listed soon!

 

Thanks Joan!  It is  little tight, right now,  you are right about that!  Of course, it's temporary - things are always changing. We will have to see what the next few months bring.

Interesting that most of your sellers are first owners - that definitely gives some lucky buyers in Glacier View Meadows the option to snag a great luxury home that hasn't been through a lot of owners. 

Anyone looking in the Red Feather Lakes area is wise to phone you, Mary!

Hi Debe, yes those homes have only had one owner - those sellers know everything about those homes too because they were engaged in the buiding process. That's a wealth of info for the new buyers!  Thanks for coming by Debe, I appreciate it!

Hi Mary: Why do you think so many of the upper end homes are original homeowners? Are they retiring or dying or just can't deal with the snow anymore? I would love to live in Glacier View Meadows myself except for the snow, LOL. But you know that about me. Big wuss.

Hi Elizabeth, good question- I don't know why we have such a high percentage all at the same time.... because there are so few homes available it's just a notable occurance.  You could always live here in the summer and be a snowbird Elizabeth :-)...and I would never call you a wuss!

What views! What a great place to live! Interesting inventory info. Good time for sellers to get off the fence, it would seem??

Hi Ruth, if they are on the fence, they need to jump off-  you're right about that! There are many who vow to never leave...so for them it's a challenge to make the decision to sell -)  Thanks for stopping in today always nice to see you Ruth!
