Market Update: Quarterly Stats

Recent Quarterly Stats Point Toward Continued Strong Appreciation

In the midst of constant speculation about the future of the real estate market, we like to let the stats speak for themselves. The quarterly data for Grand County shows increased value in single family homes, townhomes, condos, and vacant land across the board in the first quarter of 2022. The capacity for remote work as a result of the pandemic coupled with the record-low mortgage rates of the past year and half have resulted in a low-inventory, high-demand market, a market that is recording consistently strong appreciation despite growing mortgage interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.

The Cost of Waiting to Buy

How Buying Now Can Save in the Long Run

While in line at the grocery store yesterday, I overheard an exchange behind me: “It’s too late. We missed the window. Interest rates are up, and inventory is low. We should just wait until things settle down.” 

Real estate inventory and mortgage interest rates make commonplace conversations these days. Many in the market for a new home are wondering: Should I buy now or wait in hopes that things “settle down”? 

As the past two years of living through a global pandemic have taught us, no one can predict the future; however, we can look at the facts and statistics to help guide our decision-making process and alleviate our trepidation. While the market may be shifting, the data does not support a dip in…

Spring Break: The Best of Both Worlds

Take advantage of all That Makes Grand County "Grand" in Spring

For most, leaf buds on trees, early-blooming flowers, chirping birds and rain showers mark the beginning of the spring season. Here in Grand County, as the sun stays up longer and the temperatures go up, the ground is still covered in snow. We get to enjoy all that winter has to offer, just wearing a few less layers! 

A 45 degree spring day means it’s time to crack the windows in the car and, for some, break out the shorts that have been hibernating since October. As soon as it hits 55 degrees, many people welcome the risk of stepping in a puddle of snowmelt in exchange for the freedom that comes from slipping on a pair of sandals. The next day might bring an epic snowstorm that…
