The Mountains are on Fire

The mountains are on fire with color right now. The oaks and maples are brilliant red and the aspens are just starting to turn gold. Contrasted against the deep blue sky when driving or walking around town everyone’s gaze is captivated by the scenery. This weekend looks to be the last warm weekend until next summer so we will all be outside enjoying a variety of activities.

In real estate news two new projects in Deer Valley are just about completed. The St. Regis in the Deer Crest area is scheduled to start closing on units later in October. The St. Regis is the first true five star hotel to be built in the area and we are all eagerly awaiting its opening. Another project in the Empire pass area of Deer Valley called Flagstaff will also be completed for the ski season. Now that it is nearing completion sales have picked up with three new transactions in the last two weeks. These were 3 bedroom units selling the $3 million range.

With the ski season rapidly approaching I am getting more calls for buyers looking to pick up a ski home for this year while prices are still low. We have an excellent selection of homes and condos both on and off the mountain and most sellers are still willing to negotiate on their prices. This is the perfect combination for buyers and the savvy ones are taking advantage.
