The 2024 sales year has been excellent with the MindyLand Team helping buyers & sellers achieve their real estate goals!
Hello and Welcome to our June MindyLand Newsletter!
Summer arrived right on June 1st here in the Gunnison Valley. We’re always in high hopes it lands on a weekend! The days are definitely getting longer and warmer! The meadows are green, our leaves have returned to the trees and the rivers are at their bank high fullness. The buzz around the valley continues to be of the bridge closure just west of Gunnison. The Highway 50 "Middle Bridge" has been closed since Thursday, April 18th after multiple cracks were discovered. The good news is that the county is making significant improvements to the County Road 26 detour and more times have been added to the daily openings. In addition, the bridge is expected to open up to one lane of traffic by July 4th! Click here for closure details and travel times.
The local real estate market is ramping up for the busy summer selling season! Currently there are 41 properties under contract (according to our local MLS data) totaling $34,169,767. A MindyLand sale closes the end of this week and we will have more details for you soon. Mortgage rates have remained fairly consistent with a slight tick downwards this last week. The Feds have given no indication of significant rate drops anytime soon.
Lots of prospective buyers have indicated they will be visiting the Gunnison Country during the summer season and plan to look at property for sale. We’re gearing up for this busiest time of year, have new listings to introduce to the market and two more homes coming on within the next two weeks.
If you are planning to be in the Gunnison and Crested Butte area this summer, I would love to see you again! Please feel free to reach out to me or stop by our new office for a friendly visit and a refreshing beverage! On Monday, Wednesday & Friday afternoons, from 1 to 5 pm I am usually in the Bluebird Office at 218 N Main Street here in Gunnison and the CB office on Elk Avenue by appointment. If you are visiting on the weekend, I am usually around so please give me a call. If I am not out showing off the Gunnison Country, I might be playing a quick round of golf, or maybe at the CharMar pickleball courts! So don’t be a stranger—it would be great to hear from you.
Make it a wonderful summer season for you and yours!
We look forward to seeing you in MindyLand!
