  Looking for exceptional Gillette Residential Home Sales? While the market continues to fluctuate for Wyoming Real Estate, Gillette seems to be unusually busy and full of great opportunities with new construction projects and wide ranges of home sales for the start of 2013. Compared to last year it seems to be a complete opposite; sitting around craving leads to juggling nonstop showings as people strive to start the new year right; finding home. I'm here to make the home buying process as easy and painless as possible and one of my listings could be looking for YOU! One of my new Gillette residential home sales listed, 511 Granite is a very cute and spacious tri-level home. It has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a huge game room, and amazing backyard space. Oh, not to mention...the Sauna! Th...

Gillette WY Real Estate With 98 homes under contract and 340 homes for sale in Gillette WY, our real estate market continues to thrive!  While we may have experienced a slowdown over the past year, we are incredibly fortunate to not have been devastated like much of the rest of the country.  Even during our slowest months our numbers remained healthy and balanced, which is exactly what you're looking for when buying and selling real estate! Over the past two months our average list price in Gillette is sitting right at $236,000 with an average sold price of $191,485 and an average days on market of 123.  New construction from $200,000-$250,000 continues to drive the market.  The upper ends homes (homes above $325,000) are lagging behind but maybe picking up as we continue into the sprin...

Here is the most update for the Gillette WY real estate market. As you can see, activity has picked up with the spring market and there are currently 92 homes under contract in Gillette.  Our absorption rate has risen slightly but we feel like the overall market continues to be healthy and balanced.  It's obvious from looking at these numbers that the higher end homes are a much slower market; while homes  under $325,000 continue to drive the market.  We continue to see a lot of new construction homes selling very quickly.  Especially in the $200,000 - $ 250,000 range.  We hope this finds you well as we move into the spring months.  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.  Thanks and have a great day!

Gillette WY Real Estate Market Conditions As you can see, most of the price ranges under $300,000 are really moving well, while the upper end remains a bit slower.  However, with an absorption rate right around 6 months we remain in a healthy balanced market.  We are seeing a lot of new construction in the $180,000 - $250,000 price range that is really driving the market.  We anticipate an upswing in all of these numbers as we  prepare for the spring market over the next month or two.  We hope this finds you well and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

Chophouse Restaurant Gillette WY Whenever we have a good experience with the local restaurant or business we like to make sure we tell people all about it.  This was exactly the case last night when we went on a date to the Chophouse Restaurant here in Gillette.  We had not been to dinner at the Chophouse in quite some time. We were anxious to give it a try.  I must say we were extremely impressed and will be dining here much more frequently! Over the past few months we have been to several weddings in which the Chophouse was responsible for the catering.  Each experience was very positive with delicious food and great presentation.  I don't know what took us so long to try the actual restaurant again but I'm sure glad we did. Last night we were greeted as soon as we came in the door an...

After a great weekend enjoying family time, I returned to the office this morning my usual bright eyed and bushy tailed self.  It seemed rather dark in the office this morning and I quickly learned that we had been experiencing power surges that knocked out electricity to half the office building.  Fortunately our individual office still had electricity so I flipped on my computer and began organizing my desk as it booted up. After a few moments I glanced up at my computer screen, or at least I thought it was my computer screen.  There on the screen wasn't the picture of me and my nieces and in front of the Christmas tree that I had grown so fond of.  Instead, it was the original Windows landscape and the original five icons that come with your computer when you turn it on for the first...

Gillette WY Real Estate The Gillette WY real estate market continues to remain strong and balanced.  In a time when so much of the country is dealing with the worst real estate market we've ever seen, Gillette has remained a healthy market.  We feel very fortunate to live where we do and to be in the position we are in.  Gillette did have a bit of a slow-down in the market in late 2009 and early 2010.  It seems as though we always feel a small aftershock from an economic downturn a few months after the rest of the country.  If anything we may have actually benefited. Sinking home data and unstable markets have driven interest rates to record lows.  Here in Gillette we have been enjoying the low interest rates without the fallout of skyrocketing foreclosures and an abundance of inventory...

Gillette WY Real Estate Market Update We hope you had a great holiday season and an even better start to 2011!  This is an updated real estate market conditions spreadsheet.   As you can see we still have an overall absorption rate of 6 months.  This tells us we have a very balanced real estate market.  The pending home sales are down a bit since our last update, but this is typical as we come out of the holiday season.  These numbers should begin to climb as we head toward our spring market.  With just over 300 homes on the market in Gillette we are just about perfect on a healthy amount of inventory.  If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact us.  Also, if you know someone who would like to receive this monthly update please let us know.  Have a great day!

Lexi and I decided to go to Skyline Grille to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary last week.  We were extremely pleased with our decision and will be returning again to enjoy more great food and service.  Located at 469 S Hwy 50, Skyline Grille offers a modern cuisine unlike anyone else in Gillette.  The different combinations and fancy sauces, cheeses, etc., left us questioning if we were still in Gillette Wyoming!  We are regulars at the sushi night each month at Skyline, but hadn't been to try their regular menu items. Lexi had the lobster carbonara which was a creamy sauce with mushrooms, preschutto, and tons of fresh lobster tail and claw meat.  I had a seafood pasta that was also absolutely fantastic.  So often you end up with all sauce and noodles and barely any seafood in most...

The Gillette WY Real Estate market continues to be a very well balanced and healthy market.  An absorption rate over 6 is widely considered to be a buyer's market, while an absorption rate under 6 is considered to be a seller's market.  As you can see we are sitting right in between which is exactly where you want to be.  We have a great inventory of 318 homes and our numbers have not fluctuated much from 2009.  Couple these great numbers with interest rates that continue to hover down around historic lows and the bottom line is; This is a GREAT time to buy and sell Real Estate in Gillette Wyoming!!

I've listened to this speech probably 5 dozen times, but it never loses it's impact. Please take a few minutes to start your day off on an inspired foot. This is sure to put life and attitude in perspective for you. As we celebrate Jimmy V week this week remember those who we have lost and give extra support to those who are still fighting the courageous battle with cancer.

Uncle Freddies Junkyard Grill Gillette WY We have a new restaurant to report on here in Gillette.  Uncle Freddies Junkyard Grill located at 2209 S. Douglas Hwy (307-686-7570), is a fun new restaurant with something for everyone. The restaurant itself is decorated like Gillette's most popular bar and Grill, Humphrey's.  However, unlike Humphrey's Uncle Freddies offers a full video game room for the kids.  There are numerous flat screen TVs all around the restaurant which make it a perfect place to watch a game. Uncle Freddies specializes in pizza and subs but we can also attest to the fact that their 6 different wing flavors are definitely worth a shot!  While we have not had a chance to try any of the subs yet their pizzas are second to none.  If we had to make one recommendation it wou...

Why were Bill Gates & Warren Buffett in Gillette Wyoming? Gillette is a small northeast Wyoming town with about 30,000 residents.  We have a tight knit community with lots of open spaces.  So when a fleet of Burlington Northern private jets as well as a private jet that could rival the size of any commercial airline that flies out of here... people are going to talk. So what the heck were Bill Gates and Warren Buffett doing in Gillette Wyoming?  Mr. Gates declined interview with our local newspaper but there has been plenty of speculation as to just what can bring two of the world's richest men here. Rumor has it that Gates toured a local coal mine (the largest coal reserves in North America surround Gillette).  We are hoping he will be investing some serious money in clean coal technol...
