📦 Moving this summer? Don't forget these often-overlooked tasks before the big day:

✅ Update your address with USPS, banks, and subscriptions
✅ Transfer utilities before move-in day
✅ Check moving insurance coverage
✅ Pack an "Open First" box with essentials
✅ Notify friends, family, and important contacts
✅ Gather medical, school, and veterinary records

One of the best moving tips I can share: pack a box with toilet paper, chargers, basic tools, toiletries, snacks, and a change of clothes. You'll thank yourself on Day 1. 😉

Whether you're moving across town or across the country, a little preparation goes a long way toward making move-in day less stressful.

Thinking about making a move in Eagle County? I'm always happy to help.

Living in the mountains means protecting the places we love. 💧🏔️

The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District just launched its “Live Like a Local” campaign, encouraging residents and visitors to cut back on outdoor water use this summer. Small changes — watering smarter, reducing runoff, and being mindful outdoors — can make a big difference for the future of our valley.

A good reminder that conservation is part of mountain living. 🌲

Colorado’s housing market is starting to find its rhythm again. 🏡

Buyers are adapting to mortgage rates above 6%, inventory is giving people more options, and the market is shifting toward a more balanced, negotiation-friendly environment across the state. Well-priced homes are still moving quickly, while buyers are taking a little more time and being more selective.

The big takeaway? We’re seeing a steadier, more normalized market compared to the frenzy of the past few years — and that can actually be a healthy thing for both buyers and sellers.

Housing continues to be one of the biggest conversations in Eagle County, and now Eagle County + Avon are asking the community for input on future housing solutions.

Recent studies show the county may need more than 6,000 additional housing units over the next decade, with a large portion of that demand centered around Avon and the upper valley. Leaders are exploring long-term solutions including a potential regional housing authority, future workforce housing projects, and new funding ideas to help locals actually live where they work.

Whether you’re a longtime local, business owner, renter, or homeowner, this is one of those conversations that will shape the future of the valley.

What do you think Eagle County needs most when it comes to housing?
