I'm reading a lot about how different parts of the country are starting to see the change from summer to fall. That is certainly true here on the Western Slope. Due to our elevation we get our falls colors sooner than many other parts of the country. You can already see the leaves changing color.  Color Sunday will soon be here. September 25th has locally been set aside as the day to travel the area and see the fall colors. Of course the weather has a lot to do with when the peak colors actually arrive. I love all of the seasons, but I think spring and fall are my favorites. I enjoy the transitions these two seasons bring. In the spring you get to experience the longer days and the temperatures start warming up. It's time to start planning the summer garden. The fall brings a sense of u...

Our warm daytime temperatures can easily make us forget that fall is just around the corner. Although some of the trees are already changing color, and it's beginning to look a bit like fall around here. Grand Mesa Color Sunday is set for September 25th this year. The Grand Mesa Visitor Center will be open from 9am to 5pm. This is a great time to explore and enjoy the beauty of fall on the mesa. There are a few things happening in the town of Mesa...the annual arts and crafts show and the 4H Turkey Dinner. Both events are at the community. Here's a bit more information. Powderhorn Mountain Resort will have the lifts running on September 24th and 25th. Of course there's plenty to do and see on Grand Mesa. Enjoy lunch at one of the lodges and take a hike, bike or enjoy the colors from you...

The weather certainly creates a lot of photo opportunities for me. We've had unsettled weather for the last week. The rain has been nice and it's cooled off the temperatures. I was showing property a couple of days ago when I took these pictures. My buyers were meeting me at a house, and I had some time before they showed up. I always have my camera with me, so I took a few pictures. Work has been keeping me pretty busy, so I didn't have time to share them with you until today. The first picture shows a horse farm just east of town before you climb up on Cedar Mesa. The second picture looks west and it shows the canyon country of the Uncompahgre Plateau. I love the way the clouds have settled in on Grand Mesa and the plateau.  Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone. I've lived on Colorado's ...

There have been some changes in the foreclosure inventory since last month's report. This is a segment of the market where we see properties come on and go off the market rather quickly.

Collectively the last three towns are known as Orchard City.  At this time we have three active listings on the market. Prices start at $81,000 and go up to $194,900.

Last season the Cedaredge Bruins made it into the first round of the state playoffs. This year everyone is looking forward to another great season. Last year the team finished with an overall record of 7 - 3 and a league record of 3 - 2. These numbers include the playoff game. The Division 1A Bruins start off this season with a home game against Monte Vista. That game is 9/2 at 7PM at the Cedaredge High School. Here's a full schedule for the 2016 season. Some games of local interest include the one against the Paonia Eagles on 9/30. That's a home game. On 10/7 the Bruins will host the Olathe Pirates, and on 10/28 the team will travel to Hotchkiss to match up against the Bulldogs. All games start at 7PM. For more information on moving to the Cedaredge and surrounding area, please give me...

If you are looking for a great place to live with a small town atmosphere, then Cedaredge, CO might be the perfect choice for you. I've worked with many buyers that really want to get away from the high traffic and stressful living of the big city.The buyer of this home was looking to do just that. This three bedroom, one bath home is perfect for the buyer. The buyer of this home was looking to get out of the rat race of the city, to slow life down, and have a nice yard where her dog could play and she could enjoy the Grand Mesa views from a back patio. This home was the perfect opportunity, and it was priced so very well. The yard isn't perfect, but will be soon with some love and attention. The back of the lot borders open space for a wonderful view of Grand Mesa. If you are looking t...

Northridge is a wonderful neighborhood just north of Cedaredge. It's out of town, but yet close enough that it's not an inconvenience to make a quick trip to town. The neighborhood lies on both the east and west side of Highway 65. The east side tends to have wide open lots with nice mountain and valley views. Many of the properties on the west side have wooded lots.  There's only been a slight change in the neighborhood market information since last month's report.  Last month there was one home on the market and it was pending a sale. That has since sold.  Four homes have sold in this neighborhood since the first of the year. The average sales price is $293,750. The median sales price is $292,500. The average days on market is 176. Click on the picture for more local and real estate r...

The inventory of five bedroom homes for sale is about gone in the Cedaredge area. This report covers the Surface Creek Area of Delta County which also includes the small towns of Austin, Eckert and Cory. It also includes Grand Mesa cabins. Last month's report showed one five bedroom home just outside of Cedaredge and a Grand Mesa cabin available.  The Cedardge five bedroom home is now under contract and pending a sale. The cabin is still available. It's priced at $299,000. That's it for the inventory of five bedroom homes in the Cedaredge area.  If you are thinking of selling your five bedroom home then NOW is a great time to get it on the market.  Since the first of the year two five bedroom homes have sold. One in Austin and one in Cedaredge. The average sold price is $280,000.  Click...

This is a neighborhood that has seen some major improvement over the last year. Increased buyer activity and a diminishing foreclosure market have really helped neighborhood property values. There are some slight changes in the market since last month's report.  One home has sold in the last month. The average sales price for this neighborhood is $206,500. Compare that to last year when the average sales price was $127,500. That's almost a 62% increase.  Last year's low average sales price is easily explained and not necessarily indicative of property values at that time. There were two neighborhood sales. One was a bank owned home that was price way under market value, and the second sale was due to a motivated seller.  Four homes have sold since the first of this year with selling pri...

There aren't very many condominiums and townhomes in the Cedaredge area. The highest concentration is in the Cedaredge Golf Course development. Sales numbers for this year are low, but that's to be expected due to the low number of units in the area and the low number of listings. Condominiums and townhomes are grouped together in this report, because there aren't a large number of them to talk about. At this time there are two active listings and one pending a sale. Prices start at $75,000 and go up to $209,000. The highest priced listing has a golf course location.  The average list price is $120,833.  Two townhomes have sold so far this year. Both of them are in the golf course development. The average sold price is $175,500.  An alternative to a condominium or townhomes might be a t...

If you are thinking of selling your Cedaredge Estates home now is a great time to get it on the market. That's because there is only one other home listed in the neighborhood.Sales activity has been moderate so far this year, but that's because there haven't been a lot of homes on the market. There have been some changes in the neighborhood real estate information since my last market report.  My last report showed one active listing and one pending a sale. The pending property has since sold. The active listing has been on the market for a while. It's a two bedroom home, and you can expect longer days on market due to the bedroom count. The list price is $127,500. So far this year three homes have sold. The average selling price is $153,166. The average days on market for the sold home...

Normally we don't have a lot of two bedroom homes on the market in this area. While there may not be a lot of them, there is a wide variety of them. You can find two bedroom homes in and out of town...on a city lot, smaller acreage or a larger acreage parcel. House sizes and styles vary quite a bit as well. This report also includes manufactured homes. This report will cover the two bedroom homes listed in the local MLS. It will include the Surface Creek area which includes the small towns of Cedaredge, Austin, Eckert and Cory. This report also includes Grand Mesa cabins.  There are 27 active listings and four that are pending a sale.  Five of the homes are new listings since last month's report.  Prices start at $74,500 and go up to $599,900. The average listed price is $213,169 and th...

This area of Colorado is known for it's produce. We are famous for peaches, apples and sweet corn. Most people find it interesting when they learn we are part of the banana belt. I have a large personal veggie garden and a somewhat smaller herb garden. Probably the biggest challenge I face is keeping the deer out of my garden. Deer are the biggest garden pest we have. I love home grown tomatoes. I plant anywhere from 25 to 30 plants each year. I have different varieties, shapes, sizes and colors (the variety of tomatoes reminds me of how varied the properties are that we have for sale). These pictures spotlight a few of them. It's also possible to grow just about anything else. I recently traded some of my tomatoes for green beans. Squash, peas, all types of peppers and artichokes also ...

When it comes to a three bedroom home in Cedaredge there are a lot of choices for buyers. House sizes, styles and locations vary quite a bit.

Days before the parade you know it's Serenity Run time in Cedaredge. You can see it, hear it and sometimes feel it. It's the loud noises from a couple of hundred well tuned motorcycles that clue you in. Varoom, varoom.Cedaredge has welcomed the Serenity Run Riders since 1986. If you aren't familiar with ISR, this is a very large group of motorcyclists that celebrate a clean and sober life away from drugs and alcohol. It's pretty neat to see all of these riders heading up and down the highway together. This also brings out the local bikers, who in turn show their support and line the side of the street to watch the parade. Here's a video from this year's parade. Here's a link to the video for last year's parade. A lot of the bikers use Cedaredge as a stopover on the way to the big rally ...

Lately those expressions have been heard a lot around Cedaredge. It seems we've hit the hottest part of summer. At least I hope so, because I don't want it to get any hotter. Over the last week or so the daytime highs have been up in the mid to high 90s. There is a seasonal creek that runs through our town park. During the summer months, you can see the local kids (and some adults) soaking their feet to cool off.  This area of Colorado is part of the banana belt. It can get hot around here during the summer months and stay that way even into the fall. I've seen some amazing Indian Summers where everyone is still wearing shorts and sandals into late October. Before that hits, though, we usually see a frosty night or two, and then it warms right up.The hot summers give us tasty fruits and...
