Why People Sell Their Crested Butte Homes?

January 20, 2019 By Chris Kopf

Why do People Sell Their Homes in Crested Butte?Why People Sell Their Crested Butte Homes?

Why do People Sell Their Homes in Crested Butte?Selling… It can be a very hard thing for many people to even consider selling their Crested Butte home.

I have had some clients who realized they are not skiing any more – or using their home as much as they once were and are ready to make a change.

Many clients I have represented are wonderful people who have been cornerstones in the Crested Butte community for many years. But they decided to, or needed to sell their Crested Butte home.

Many older couples realize they want to spend more time, and be closer to their kids and grandkids.

Some are ready to turn the page and move on, others have had health issues and told me they “needed” to face the facts…

Frequently I get a call or email or text from a prospective client who is curious what their home is worth given the current market…?

Others contact me and say they might be considering selling their home in the next year or so.

It is common for people to wonder if the timing is right and what the estimated Selling Price would be for their home?

Most affluent clients I work with will call me and say they are starting to do some planning. It may not be the right time NOW,  but they have started to think about putting their home on the market. Sometimes they decide to do so at the end of the season, the end of the ski season, or the end of the summer.

No Longer Enjoying the Crested Butte Winters

It is common for many to decided they love Crested Butte – but no longer are enjoying the winters.  Some of my clients decided they are not  ready to move on from Crested Butte, but wanted to be here to enjoy their friends and the summers in Crested Butte. After helping my clients to sell their home I have seen a few resulting options:

  1. A few have purchased a lot near Club at Crested Butte in the Skyland area. They decided to build their “Summer Crested Butte Dream Home”.
  2. Some of my clients are picking their favorite summer weeks to be in Crested Butte and they travel in and out in the summer to attend their favorite events.
  3. Others are renting a home for a month or two in the summer, or summer/fall.

Many come back for the Center for the Arts Tour de Forks events, The Crested Butte Music Festival, the Adaptive Sports CB Open and Auction Event, the Crested Butte Arts Festival week, and of course Vinotok (just kidding on Vinotok)  🙂   

I have a client who slipped on the ice in the supermarket parking lot during the winter, and sustained an injury – and they realized it was time to make a change…

It is not uncommon for a client to tell me they have been doing the math on the carry cost of their Crested Butte home – and they are ready to use those same funds other ways…

Whatever the reason – most every client I have worked with told me that once they made the decision to sell – it was a great relief to start looking at their options so they could turn the page, and move on to the next chapter in their life…

How Long Does It Take to Sell A Crested Butte Home?

The Average time it takes a home to sell is approximately 7 months. Homes above $1M the average was closer to 1 year. This is not unusual because of the seasonality of the Crested Butte Real Estate market. So much depends on the specifics of the home.

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.
