With only one month of the new year under our belts and with this being the slowest time of year for Pagosa real estate, there is not much of a story to tell. We are up by a couple of transactions over last year, but the sample is so small that it’s hard to tell whether the numbers mean anything at this point or not. However, I can say this; we have an unusually large number of properties under contract for this time of year. At last count, there were 43 pending transactions. If even two-thirds of those transactions actually close, we will soon be well above last year’s to-date totals. The amount of activity in the pipeline is encouraging. Bank repos remain the driving force in the market, and the number of repos on the market is up about 25% from a couple months ago. Not all the sales ...

Regarding the Real Estate Market in Pagosa Springs – which would you like first, the good news or the bad? Being an optimist, I’ll start with the positives. Let’s talk about the glass half full. We are having a big sale, similar to Black Friday after Thanksgiving. Prices are marked down and there are big deals to be had. I saw several screaming deals happen in 2009, and we will see many more – at least over the next six months. If you are an investor, there is money to be made. If you are a first time home buyer, the government is giving money away to the tune of $8,000 on your next tax return. In my opinion, the housing market will show better returns than the stock market or your neighborhood bank in the near future. If you’re looking for a place to park some money, let me know! Of co...

The Riley family had a great Thanksgiving. Laurie and I traveled to Denver to visit family, including our son and our new daughter-in-law. The festivities included seeing Riverdance and watching Carmelo Anthony score 50 points as the Nuggets beat the Knicks! All in all, we had a superb holiday, and I have so very much to be thankful for. Increasingly, I find myself asking the question, "Now what?" At 61, my priorities are changing. Dreams of cars and toys are being replaced by thoughts about health, retirement, and future grandchildren. Fortunately, I still love my job. The puzzles I am continually trying to solve are how to be more productive and how to better serve my customers. I still enjoy pondering and pursuing these goals, even as my other interests have changed. The Pagosa real ...

Go Broncos! This year, the Broncos are 6 and 1, and we are leading the division. According to the “experts,” we were only supposed to win 4 games this year! The sports commentators remind me of the financial gurus. Neither seems to know what they are talking about. I believe I’m doing better thinking on my own and not worrying about the negative naysayers. Some good news! Real Estate sales for October were up 18% over the same period last year. There were 39 sales this October versus 33 last October. Year-to-date sales are down 29%, which is a 3% improvement over last month. I attended our annual Real Estate Convention a couple of weeks ago, which is always fun, especially since it is held at the Broadmoor – a 5-Star facility. The Convention serves several functions, such as networking ...
