While talking to bankers, brokers and other town folk this week, we all agreed that this mountain-town isolation has served us well over the last two years.  We do not have a lot of foreclosures and mortgage problems.  The housing market has not been flooded and while sales are way down, values are holding.

Actually, the main connections between Buena Vista and the Front Range cites are the roads.  The housing market, the weather and the pace of life are largely independent.
