AI might help with optimized website content and market updates, but it's not going to show up to your property with a truck bed of tools to help get it ready to list!

Lending changes are coming (they're pretty much here starting this month) when it comes to condos. I recommend going over the details and fine print with your lender, but be prepared for some extra hoops and higher dues.

Uhhh hello July? Closing day was a hoot (not sure where you'll ever find $2 beers in Durango these days) but holy cow!

Super clean and well kept single level TH in Edgemont Highlands. What's that- a TH in Highlands? Yup! There are some up there, and you get the best of both worlds: a lock and leave, low maintenance home in the pines with hundreds of acres of community open space, trails and Florida river access, while having central water and sewer just a few minutes from Durango city limits.

The Buyer on this purchase reached out to me about a year and a half ago and straight up warned me he was about to begin a very calculated and methodical home search.
Fast forward to this past Thanksgiving and we wrote a low enough offer on this property that it didn't even get a counter. As my Buyer resumed his search, I pinged the listing agent to get an idea of how far apart both sides were. Between Seller motivation and lower rates improving the Buyer's purchasing power, we closed the gap and the Buyer is stoked on his new home!

Some big swings in 2025! And to think it's the year when the correction started... What does 2026 have in store? Durango West 2 and Mancos caught my attention, the former usually known for a healthy turning of inventory was down in sales, while the affordability of Mancos (and Forest Lakes) finally caught on. What stands out to you?
