The Elk Mountain Real Estate Review

J.C. Leacock

Why Crested Butte? It’s wintertime in Crested Butte, Colorado! The snow is falling and the air is filled with smells of fireplaces and ski wax. The evenings begin early as the sun dips below the mountains during the late afternoon leaving us to gather indoors with family and friends to appreciate these moments. These times are the building blocks of our community. The connectivity, the appreciation for one another and the mutual respect for wanting to live somewhere special that brings us all together. If you haven’t already noticed, Crested Butte is something special. We close down our “main street” for ski jumping and nordic racing, we’ve created holidays to keep smiles on our faces and we gather and give tirelessly to help those in need. Living life and experiencing natural beauty in a place like Crested Butte is a gift. Calling Crested Butte and the surrounding areas home is worth considering and is within reach. It’s a great time to consult with your realtor and examine what’s available on the local market. The real estate market in Crested Butte is showing renewed signs of activity and warrants consideration for any buyer. According to Fannie Mae’s latest nationwide survey, consumers continue to believe it is a buyers’ market; 70 percent said it is a good time to buy a house, up six points from January 2010. And a majority of Americans, 67 percent, continue to believe that housing is a safe investment Echoing the national mindset, the Upper Gunnison Valley’s sales volume

has increased 11 percent compared to this time last year. This increase in sales reinforces the fact that properties that are priced respective to the market continue to sell, and properties that are priced aggressively are selling quicker. According to the Gunnison Valley MLS, average days on the market has decreased by 10 percent from last year. As we witness this shift in mentality, the discerning Crested Butte buyer is realizing the time to buy is now. The Crested Butte Community School, with 550 students, is boasting 45,000 square feet of brand new classrooms, library and gym space. Crested Butte Mountain Resort is celebrating 50 years of operation and is working hard to continue making improvements to their products on the mountain. For the adventurous there is a new snow cat ski operation (CS Irwin), which services 1,000+ acres of back country cat skiing. And if that still hasn’t gotten your attention, we have 50+ kilometers of groomed Nordic skiing provided by the Crested Butte Nordic Center and countless retail businesses to service your every desire. The mission of the Elk Mountain Real Estate Review, is to help assist you in navigating the Crested Butte real estate market. The Review is a sampling of what is available today in the Upper Gunnison Valley real estate market. Its purpose is also to guide you through the offerings from land to condos to homes.
