Hello from Crested Butte,   Another closing weekend for the ski area is upon us and of course it’s been snowing. No lifts? No problem. Historically April is a great month to ski in the Crested Butte backcountry and on CBMR’s ski slopes sans chairlifts. It is shaping up to be another fun “second” ski season with more powder turns this Spring! Tired of skiing? Head to Hartman Rocks for biking on their sweet high desert single track trail system. It’s only 30 miles away and you can grab groceries on your way back to the Butte. 🙂   The local real estate market – in spite of the news coming out of Wall Street and Washington D.C. – continues to churn right along in Crested Butte.   The first quarter was dang strong for the luxury single family home segment. 16 homes sold YTD representing $45...

Living in Denver, we are so used to little to no humidity.  So, traveling to areas outside Denver that have humidity is a change we are not used to.  BUT, outside of Arizona and Colorado, there are not many areas with low humidity.SO, thinking of areas to move to is tough when you factor temperatures and humidity.   I LOVED Costa Rica, but many areas have rain 6 months a year.  Whew, that would be tough coming from an area that doesn't see much rain.Loved Quebec City and Montreal, but their winters area more severe than Colorado's, co that would be a huge change of location.When you are looking to move, how important is the weather?  Do you look into hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes?I LOVED many locations when I traveled, but few places I would think of moving to!Costa Rica was BEA...

Now is the perfect time to consider buying a home, as interest rates are falling, making mortgages more affordable and giving you the opportunity to lock in a great deal. However, it's important to keep in mind that lower rates can also lead to higher demand, which ultimately drives up home prices. Waiting too long to take advantage of these favorable conditions might mean paying more for the same property in the near future. By acting now, you can secure a home at a lower rate, potentially saving you thousands over the life of your loan while avoiding the risk of escalating prices. Don't let the opportunity pass; buying now could be one of the best financial decisions you make.

If you live, or visit downtown Denver, please be aware Street Sweeping goes into effect 4/1/25, and caught in the wrong space and the wrong time could cost you!Nice to get all the dirt, leaves and stuff off the streets, but those who park on the street in downtown Denver need to be aware of the times (8-5).   Check the days and times, before you leave your car!   Most of the time, it is only done once a month, so check the date.If the City is trying to street sweep, and your car is sitting by the curb, you could be given a citation for $50.

 It is exciting to hear you have a pre-approval for your first home, and cannot wait to get out and see some homes.    Looking at the homes in person is more fun than looking at them online. In Denver, our inventory increasing, which is giving buyers more to view.  (We are now seeing overlapping showings again.) Rates are still above 6%, so not a huge influx of buyers out right now. When you see a home you can see yourself living in, do you question whether or not to write on this home on the first day out? If you can see yourself living in this home, can afford the payments, why not?   How would you feel about waiting to see what else comes on the market, but cannot stop thinking about "the one that got away"?     You may not find one like it again.    I have had buyers write on the fi...

It is not often you get stuck behind a traffic jam of SHEEP!   There was a Colorado driver on her way to Utah on Highway 40 in northwest Colorado on Friday morning that saw this!     These sheep were being moved to a different pasture for fresh grazing and to prevent overgrazing in an area.   That's rural Colorado!  I remember in Northern Ireland driving, and seeing sheep on the road, but still not as many as this herd was!   This would be quite the sight to see!

One of my listings asked how long they had to find a home out of state.  Good question!   I told them, probably 30 days for the transaction, and you can probably safely write on one after their inspection dates have passed.   But, they will be financing, so they will need to wait 30 days most likely for possession of their new property.So, after a bit of conversation, they asked for 30+ days after closing so they have a place to live.  They do have dogs, and many short-term rentals will not accept large dogs, so they would not have a place to live.    Can't do that!And, one of the showings over the weekend (so far) said they needed possession at closing, and couldn't give any days after that.   Have heard from a couple of others who have time, and don't have any issue with allowing the ...

This is March, and in Denver we expect Roller Coaster weather.   Some days it is really nice, blue skies, and other days we could get several inches of snow!   So, it is nice to hear when we experience serious warm weather.This week the forecasters have predicted high 70's and 80's FOR MARCH.  Holy molies.    This is too early, and being so dry, our minds all go to the dry aspect and fire danger that this could lead to.   Much of the West is expecting very warm temperatures, and all of this area experiences fire danger when it dries up this much.So, be careful what you wish for.   But this week, enjoy the temps, Saturday is expecting some rain, thankfully.
