Wolf Creek Pass At 103 Posted by Galles Properties on March 29th, 2022 In August 1916, an article in the Creede Candle detailed the dedication of the new Wolf Creek Pass Highway, when over 200 vehicles traversed the new highway to celebrate its completion. "After following the road, which reminds one of a boulevard, along the mountainside for a distance of twelve miles it emerges into a beautiful park, the scene of the celebration," the writer reflected. "The machines began to arrive in real earnest and...there was a constant stream of automobiles pouring into the grove from both ways." The dedication, attended by hundreds, including the Governor of Colorado, would establish Wolf Creek Pass as an integral link between South Fork, Pagosa Springs and Durango.

Why This Is A Great Time To Sell Your Colorado Vacation Home Posted by Galles Properties on March 29th, 2022 Is this a good time to sell your Pagosa Springs vacation home? As vaccines are administered and travel resumes, many of us are beginning to plan for those vacations we missed out on over the past year. And some households are focusing their efforts on buying a vacation home rather than staying in a hotel. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reports: “Second homes (i.e., homes sold to buyers who are not going to occupy the home year-round, but use it as a vacation home, investment property, etc.) account for 15 percent of new single-family home sales.” In Pagosa Springs, inventory is at a record low. It’s not surprising that there’s an increase in demand for vacation homes. The majority of Americans are realizing they prefer… 202 Views, 0 Comments Read Full Post
4 Tips To Maximize The Sale Of Your Property Posted by Galles Properties on March 29th, 2022 Here are 4 tips to maximize the sale of your property. Property owners ready to make a move are definitely in a great position to sell today. Inventory is incredibly low, driving up buyer competition. This gives property owners leverage to sell for the best possible terms, and it’s fueling a steady rise in property prices. In such a hot market, properties are selling quickly. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes are typically on the market for just 18 short days. Despite the speed and opportunity for sellers, there are still steps you can take to prep your house to shine so you get the greatest possible return. 1. Make Buyers Feel at Home One of the ways to make this happen is to take time to declutter - inside and… 229 Views, 0 Comments Read Full Post
Is Home Price Appreciation Accelerating Again? Posted by Galles Properties on March 29th, 2022 Which Direction Is Your Home Price Appreciation Headed? At the beginning of the year, industry forecasts called for home price appreciation to slow to about half of the double-digit increase we saw last year. The thinking was that inventory would increase from record-low levels and put an end to the bidding wars that have driven home prices up over the past twelve months. However, that increase in inventory has yet to materialize. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that there are currently 410,000 fewer single-family homes available for sale than there were at this time last year. This has forced those who made appreciation forecasts this past January to amend those projections. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie… 333 Views, 0 Comments Read Full Post
