SOLD! SOLD!As we approach a new decade, properties continue to sell (scroll down
to see all of the activity). Every week, there is a handful of properties
being negotiated. Some offers have been very low and the sellers countered
within reason but the buyers wouldn't step up; those fall by the wayside and
never make it to our Under Contract page. Astute buyers have recently purchased
properties for which they will be congratulating themselves for years to come.
New homes have conveniences, space and comforts that are far removed
from the summer-only fishing cabins that used to populate our area,
especially right after Lake Granby was built and before winter recreation
was so easy and popular. Older homes can be a terrific value because they
were built when it was not so expensive for utilities and construction.
Directly below is a list of properties that have a sale pending.
Scroll all the way down to see properties that have sold and closed.
A remarkable phenomenon is the way new buyers step up to purchase the
same property as soon as someone makes a firm offer; this happens more
often than you would imagine.
Our office has to present all offers. Loan approval and other details take
longer to complete then they did years ago when contracts were not so
complicated. Back-up offers can still be submitted on these.

The Grand Lake area is a very popular second home, vacation cabin area, especially for
residents of Colorado who know the state well and appreciate Grand Lake's unique
advantages over other areas. These 2nd homes are typically purchased when a family
has young children and then sold when the kids go to college or family members move
out of state. This is why there always seems to be a large inventory of homes that are
on the market.
