The results year to date for 2015 are impressive especially when comparing similar result from the past two strong years. The report last week from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) 2015 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey shows US vacation home transactions soaring.

Ski Season was one of the Best

The snow came in a few big storms, but the visitors were consistently streamed in throughout the ski season. CBMR made a good move by including Crested Butte as part of the Rocky Mountain Super Pass+. There were many visitors from the front range who were excited to get the opportunity to visit and ski Crested Butte, and the tax receipts show an increase over last years revenues of over 20%. The ski season is over – but the snowmobiles are rolling into town. CBMR is hosting The Ultimate Snowmobiler Event April 9 – 12 with the 3rd Annual snowmobile contest that will crown the Ultimate Snowmobiler. With the big hill climb event being cancelled in Jackson, WY due to a lack of snow Crested Butte is the beneficiary. The shoulder seasons are slowly shrinking… but the majority of locals typically head out of town once the lifts stop spinning seeking warm climates, and the majority of restaurants in town have already closed for the off-season.

It may be a little early to be looking forward to Summer events – but just a warning that the Arts Fest Weekend will be extra busy this year due to the Enduro World Series of mountain bike racing is making the hallowed mountain biking trails of Crested Butte the only US venue. Evidently there will be approximately 300 racers and the race teams are said to show up at least a week in advance and the race dates are July 31 – August 2. This is a big deal and another event like the Pro Cycling Challenge that increases the visibility of the beauty of Crested Butte.

Chris is outstanding! We recently bought a second home in Crested Butte and Chris did a great job throughout the whole process. He has a thorough understanding of the market and the benefits and drawbacks of various locations. He was very patient with us as our preferences evolved throughout the search. He gave us valuable information on which to negotiate the purchase. He had great follow-up during the inspection/closing process (when we were not in town) and made sure all of the commitments made by the seller were properly completed.
