Dear Friends,
Summer is in full stride and our valley is busier than ever with guests and buyer activity as evidenced by a record-breaking sale of $72,500,000 on Willoughby Way. This past year has been such an interesting and exciting time for real estate here in Aspen. If anything, it reinforces what a special place we live and recreate in all day every day without boundaries. Our upward market trend continues as a result of an influx of interest out of city areas into mountain life. While inventory remains limited, buyers continue to pay top dollar. Whether buying or selling, having a broker with insight, access to "off market" listings and exceptional advertising techniques, can make all the difference in how you navigate your real estate goals through this current environment so please contact me anytime!
I hope to see you soon and wish you happy and adventurous days ahead!
Laurie

The opportunities of fixer-uppers in a hot market
A trait of a booming market is the desire of buyers to find a bargain by seeking our properties that need remodeling or redevelopment.
It’s a great way into the market for investors, property developers and, in some circumstances, first-time buyers.
