Overall Market Update
Our 2014 market ended as strong as expected. We were expecting our market to be up around 5% to 7% at the end of the year and we ended up 6.5% in the upper valley and up 7.2% in Gunnison County compared to 2013. The sectors of our market that were strong were homes, condos and townhomes in Crested Butte, condos in Mt. Crested Butte and land in the Rural Gunnison area. Most other sectors were mixed from the previous year with the major exception being single family homes in the Rural Crested Butte area which was down by over 27%. What does this mean for 2015? We are expecting to see similar growth in our 2015 real estate market. Some factors that could negatively affect our 2015 market are a lack of inventory, especially homes in the town of Crested Butte, a lack of lower end properties, as some buyers could start to be priced out of our market, and if the price of crude oil continues to drop or hover near record lows, some of our middle to higher end properties might be vulnerable. Even with these negative factors we still expect our market to grow as visitor numbers were considerably up in 2014 with no signs of slowing down this year and the Crested Butte area is still an incredible value compared to other Colorado ski towns.
