30 Jun Pray For Rain In The West

The devastating wildfires burning across western Colorado, neighboring states, and beyond have weighed heavily on all of our hearts this week. 💔 The Gold Mountain Fire by Ouray is still burning and you can find updates on this page on Facebook or Ouray County’s Alert Center.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the three firefighters who tragically lost their lives, the two who were injured, and every firefighter and first responder risking everything to protect our communities. We continue praying for their safety—and for much-needed rain to help bring these fires under control.

Even with everything happening around us, our local real estate market continues to show strength! 🎉 I celebrated two closings today, another successful closing last week, and put another property under contract just yesterday. Buyers and sellers are still making moves, proving that opportunities are out there for those who are ready.

If you’ve been looking for acreage, don’t miss this incredible 35-acre property with a beautiful custom home and the river running through the property that just received a fantastic price improvement! It’s truly one of those special properties that doesn’t come along every day.

Mortgage rates remain fairly steady, with the average 30-year fixed loan hovering around 6.5%. While rates are still higher than many would like, buyers are adjusting, and many are taking advantage of today’s inventory while waiting for future refinancing opportunities.

Although there won’t be traditional fireworks this 4th of July, there are still plenty of ways to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday! 🇺🇸 From the Western Sky Balloon Festival to hometown parades and community events throughout the Western Slope, there’s no shortage of family fun this holiday weekend.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, curious about your home’s value, or simply have questions about today’s market, I’m always just a phone call away. Have a safe, happy, and blessed Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙
