We Love Mountain Living!
Summit County is not your typical place to live. It’s high elevation, 9,000 -11,000 feet, with intense weather conditions. It’s baked by the sun and buried by the snow. That needs to be taken into consideration with anything that has to endure the elements. Our homes need to outlast the abuse. One way we have […]
We have been feeling like the market has been softening this year. Now that we are past the first half of 2019, Summit County market conditions are confirming our suspicions. Or are they? We had a cold spring with ski areas open longer and fewer summer visitors than normal so maybe that has something to […]
Moose sightings are becoming more and more frequent in Summit County. In general, I think people think moose are harmless. They don’t have claws and they aren’t meat eaters so think that we should not be threatened by them. Moose weigh about 1000 pounds and will charge and stomp with their front legs when they […]
Every summer Jason & I try and hike once a week with our friends. We have found it works better for us if we plan ahead with a hiking schedule. Again this year, we are shooting for Thursday hikes. We start relatively easy and gradually get harder and steeper as the summer continues. We try […]
Here in Summit County we are still feeling the effects of the winter’s fantastic snow! The Frisco to Copper RecPath hasn’t opened yet, we are still skiing, not really hiking or biking and the water in the lake is incredibly low. Frisco to Copper RecPath The avalanches we saw over the winter were not only […]
My sister lives in Oak Creek Canyon, near Sedona, Arizona. She recently had to evacuate because of a large wildfire. As she has had to evacuate before, she was more prepared than most. I thought I would copy an email offering fire evacuation tips that she sent to her friends. For the past thirty years […]
Criminals are always coming up with creative ideas to scam people. Especially in the age of internet transactions, where you don’t work face to face with people. It’s much easier for someone to deceive us electronically. One of the latest ways is by pretending to be a title company or real estate agent and giving […]
Saturday, April 27th was our 4th annual Beachin’ at the Basin and 2019 client party. We reserve a spot on the beach, set up a tent, serve food and drinks to clients and friends and have a great time. Jason & I are generally too busy to get out and ski but most everybody else […]
With three months gone this year, it’s looking like Summit County is going to see a softer real estate market in 2019. In a strong seller’s market like we have been seeing, a little softening isn’t necessarily a bad thing though. The number of residential sales so far this year is declining. That decline is […]
