Fall 2010

In Durango, CO., the beginning of Fall is here! The colors above 9,000 feet are primetime and below are just beginning. The real estate activity has increased dramatically, the elk are bugling and those who have time can enjoy solitude on all the best trout streams in the area. The weather has averaged about 75 each day and in the 50's at night, clear and no wind...just perfect! I don't think there could be any better place to live in the world.

What's news? Jenni & I saw the Zac Brown Band Saturday night in Albuquerque for our 15th wedding anniversary...awesome show! Business is good with people starting to take advantage of the incredible buying opportunities. Many speculate that the housing market nationally will continue to decline over the next 2 to 3 years but it really depends on the labor market and how much of the existing inventory gets absorbed. Certain properties and areas, such as Durango and such as beautiful alpine ranches with water, are still a premium and in demand. There have been some monumental sales in the area for this type of property and lots of "qualified" people in the area searching. Although the value is still high for these type of properties, the good news is that there are more on the market so it's a good time to find the one with the right amenities; whereas, they generally don't exist.

  1. FYI, I added a link to DurangoBroker.com on the Durango Color directory.

    I hope you find time to update this blog. Personally, I think two to three posts a year is sufficient.
