It appears as though life has returned to the real estate market in Buena Vista and Chaffee County. After a couple years of low sales we are all hoping for great improvement. With February nearly half over, there have been two sales in the county over half a million and there are seven more under contract. It has been a while since there has been substantial upper-end market activity.
At the lower end there is an marked increase in the number of folks looking, even if writing offers is lagging a bit. The reason I mention all this is that in mid-February activity is often quite slow, so to see this increase at this time of year is a treat and raises hopes that sales will pick up this year. I’m sure it will be a while before we reach the level of 2007, but a gradual increase in property sales will be appreciated. We certainly have a great property inventory and whatever happens, the Upper Arkansas Valley will always be a great place to live and play!
