Springtime in Gunnison breathes new life into the valley, with willows turning colors, rivers flowing and everything vibrant once again.

In total, 14 single family homes sold in the greater Gunnison area between January and March, compared to 24 the year prior.

A significant commercial land sale at the North end of the City Limits, along with 6 other commercial building sales took place in Gunnison so far this year, including the John Roberts Motorworks building and the True Value/Sears center complex.

Bluebird’s Main Street storefront project is underway with demolition of the middle wall and mitigation work completed. Now down to the studs, our contractors and engineers are working on structural needs to combine the two spaces into one open and inviting atmosphere. In the meantime, Bluebird’s Gunnison agents and staff can be found “bringing dreams home” from our temporary space at 121 West Virginia Avenue. Stop by and say hi, and we hope to run into you on the trails or at an I-Bar Concert this summer.
