Birdseye View: Market Snapshot
Despite a modest year for snowfall and skier visits, the real estate market charges along with strong activity during the first quarter of 2018. Bluebird is pleased to report that our agents participated in three of the top seven residential sales in the north end of the Gunnison valley. Bluebird also sold the most expensive tract of land so far this year, the Granite Basin Ranch on a beautiful stretch of the East River.

Condos are one of the hottest sectors with 21 sales already in Mt CB in the first quarter, with an average sales price of over $350,000. It is now common to see multiple offers on new condo listings.
Demand for land is at its highest levels in years, with 23 sales so far this year and average prices up almost 50% to nearly $305,000.

Overall, home buyers, investors and second homeowners are recognizing the relative value of property in our valley and the quality of life for outdoor activities, cultural happenings as well as raising kids in a great school system.
