23 May Can You Buy In Colorado?

If you’re looking for more affordable property to purchase, check out the Western Slope!  Western Colorado is more affordable than a lot of other areas in the state.  Of course as you go south in Western Colorado, more towards Telluride, the prices increase.  But check out Delta and Montrose Counties if you’re interested in some good deals that are still out there to be had.  All that being said though, the sold stats year to date through the end of April 2022 compared to 2021 show that Montrose County median home prices increased 10.8% and Delta County median home prices are up 22.3%.  And with interest rates increasing, if you’re looking to buy, being flexible with your location here in Western Colorado can help you find your perfect property.  For instance, many people live in Delta and drive to Montrose, Ridgway or even Telluride for work.  It’s not like the metro areas where if you drive 50 miles it can take 2 hours plus to get there due to traffic etc.  On the Western Slope, you can drive 50 miles in just about an hour (depending on how much lead you have in your foot…)  So if you’re wondering about trying to buy a home but don’t think you can, contact us and we can help you explore your options.  Make sure you work with a local lender as they understand the nuances of purchasing property here in Western Colorado.

And the Western Slope is a great place to live year round!  There are all kinds of events and things going on for the upcoming holiday weekend and throughout the summer.  From poker runs to free live music, there’s something for everyone.  Check out the VisitMontrose.com site for a calendar of events.  Or check out DeltaCounty.com too.  Of course you can always follow our Facebook page to see some of the upcoming things to do as well.  Have a great week!
