YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT TO US

Buying or selling a high-end home is a little different than most other real estate transactions. Multi-million dollar properties are sold and purchased through REALTORS® whose specific expertise is in luxury real estate. Their marketing strategies are targeted to a smaller network of buyers who are financially qualified to purchase high-end real estate.

Privacy is a very important issue for most high-end clients. Seller’s homes often contain expensive art and valuables and many buyers are people who treasure their anonymity. Experienced luxury home REALTORS® put confidentiality at the top of their priorities. Often they work through a third party, keeping the buyer and the seller away from the spotlight.

Many luxury properties are sold behind the scenes before they are ever listed on the Multiple Listing Service. So it is essential to work with a luxury home specialist when buying or selling a luxury home. Their in-depth knowledge of this specialized niche market can guide you to the dream home that best fits your distinctive lifestyle.

When you are ready to start your real estate experience, would would love to put this in to practice for you! Contact TheIversonTeam@slifer.net and let us know how we can assist in making this a pleasant process. If you would like to preview properties, please visit our website: www.vailskihomes.com , write down the addresses or MLS #s and let's get the ball rolling!

Just a quick run down of notable activity

East Vail had 4 closings at $377/square foot (which is about the same number of closings it has steadily had for the past 6 months, but with a price down from $437 and $431 in November and December). Booth Creek and the Golf Course remained quiet. Vail Village also reported no sales at all in January, which was very unusual. Apparently buyers went to Lionshead instead, since it had 4 properties sold in January at $1,532/sq. ft. (including 3 Ritz’s at $1,688 and 1 Montaneros at $1,065). Other than one sale in Potato Patch and one in West Vail South, all was quiet between Lionshead and Dowd Junction (no sales in Spraddle, Sandstone, Cascades, The Valley, Highland Meadows). Minturn had one property that closed in January; a lovely mobile home on Main Street for $187/sq. ft. Eagle-Vail had 4 sales that averaged $234/sq. ft., which is not much of a change in price or volume from the past several months. Avon saw its price per square foot rise in January, with 7 properties sold at around $313 (up from 7 sold in December, 2010 for $241). It is also worth noting that 4 of Avon’s 7 January sales were Ascent Residences. Beaver Creek had less than half the number of transactions close in January (3), then December (8), although the average sold price per square foot increased from $754 to $856. Bachelor Gulch’s price per square foot was also up—at $969/ sq. ft for the 3 sold in January. Arrowhead remained quiet with no sales, as did Homestead. Singletree had two sales at $270/sq. ft, which is a little better than the previous couple of months, but still very slow. Cordillera had one sale in January at $433/ square foot, which was quite an improvement over the past several sales, and appears to be a unique property (LEEDS certified). Bellyache Ridge had one bank-owned sale in January at $142/sq. ft. which was far lower than the average price per square foot has been in any of the past ten years I am tracking. This sale was one of the few that really caught my attention. Another one was a bank-owned sale in Eagle which amounted to $54/sq. ft. (and needed additional remodel completion.) Eagle Ranch once again saw a few sales (4) at about $175/sq. ft. which is interesting, because the last three months have shown the exact same average price per square foot.
