If Selling

Low inventory, rising prices and solid demand combine to make this an opportune time to be on the market, should it be time for you to sell. This will be especially true over the next couple of months, February and March, as they represent “prime time” in our winter selling season. My encouragement would be to buff, polish and fully prepare your property for market, price it appropriately, and then make it as available as possible for Open Houses, previews and showings. Following these guidelines, you’ll best position yourself for a sale.

If Buying

Develop a “wish list” of items that are important to you before you start looking at property, including location (Vail or Beaver Creek? East Vail or West Vail?), desired amenities, views and any other attributes you can think of, along with the standard criteria of bedrooms, baths and square footage. Having a clear vision of what you are looking for will enable you to know it, when you see it, and then act accordingly!
