The data is in and it looks as though real estate property sales in Chaffee County are headed upward! The numbers for 2009 are about half of what they were in 2007 and the data shows that the worst sales months were in late 2008 and early 2009.
Within the graph there is an obvious annual cycle and a 12-month trailing-average trendline indicates that sales numbers have hit bottom and are trending upward. Since winter and early spring is the softest sales period, it will likely take into May before we know how business is going to be. Keep in mind that current times have established a new normal and growth will be slow and steady over the next years. The good news is Buena Vista is still a gem in the Rockies and the desire to be here has not diminished!
