April is Here!!!
Wow, where in the world did the first quarter of this year go? Can you believe that we are already into April? Thankfully, the days are getting longer and we are able to enjoy some much-needed sun and warmer weather. Our team gathered together last week for our weekly team meeting, and it was very entertaining to hear about all of the fun things that several of the team members had done the past couple of weeks, including golfing, planting and cleaning up their gardens, playing pickle ball, getting backyard patios ready for the warm months ahead and hitting the road for some vacation adventures.
Everyone was in a great mood with broad smiles and ready to tackle the upcoming quarter. We are so fortunate to live here in Western Colorado!
Spring is such a great time to get outside, dust off our patios, service our air conditioners, clean our windows and gutters, and get our yards ready for the Summer months ahead. This Spring, the Shafer Team has decided to giveaway FREE lawn aeration services (in the Mesa County area). Give us a call today and get your yard scheduled for a FREE aeration service, compliments of The Shafer Team. Sign up or give us a call at 970-210-7553 now through April 30, 2025 to get on the schedule.
The other part of our weekly discussion was how much the market has picked up recently. The phones are ringing, and we have Buyers and Sellers alike who are anxious to get started. We know that there has been some volatility nationally in the past month or so, however, we are finding that Colorado is still one of the most desirable places in the country to live. In addition, Mesa County is still one of the most affordable areas. We have the perfect mix of high-end luxury to first-time homebuyer properties, along with everything in between, including farm and ranch as well as ski area and lake/mountain cabin properties. Some might say that we have it “ALL” over here in the beautiful Western Colorado landscape.
Is the Mesa County market slowing down? The 1st Quarter of 2025 shows double-digit growth in the residential housing market over 2024 in this area. Home values are continuing to increase, the number of sales are on the increase, and the prices are continuing on a steady growth trajectory. We have had several calls from homeowners recently requesting a Market Analysis to see what the estimated current value is on their property. This is a professional assessment and valuation of the property, and we provide these absolutely FREE of charge. These are extremely informative for any homeowner. You can assess your insurance coverage, leverage your equity for home improvements, or possibly look at reinvestment opportunities. As I have said before, this is one of the largest and most important purchases that you will ever make – it only makes sense to protect and nurture your investment. Give us a call today and we will gladly put together a valuation for your property.
