The Colorado Grand Tour is a road show of early sports and race cars. All of these cars are pre 1960 models. This afternoon the group toured through the Northfork area and then made it's way over to Cedaredge. A portion of Main Street was blocked off so everyone could view the vintage cars. This is a neat car show where you get to see these vehicles in action.I don't really know what I'm looking at when it comes to antique cars, but I still enjoyed watching them. These vehicles are restored and detailed very well, and they had powerful sounding engines. I was tempted to grab a spare helmet and jumped in one of the convertibles as it headed down the street. The Main Street businesses had specials available for the drivers. The Colorado Grand is an annual charity event. It was started in ... 09/13/2016

I'm reading a lot about how different parts of the country are starting to see the change from summer to fall. That is certainly true here on the Western Slope. Due to our elevation we get our falls colors sooner than many other parts of the country. You can already see the leaves changing color.  Color Sunday will soon be here. September 25th has locally been set aside as the day to travel the area and see the fall colors. Of course the weather has a lot to do with when the peak colors actually arrive. I love all of the seasons, but I think spring and fall are my favorites. I enjoy the transitions these two seasons bring. In the spring you get to experience the longer days and the temperatures start warming up. It's time to start planning the summer garden. The fall brings a sense of u... 09/11/2016

Our warm daytime temperatures can easily make us forget that fall is just around the corner. Although some of the trees are already changing color, and it's beginning to look a bit like fall around here. Grand Mesa Color Sunday is set for September 25th this year. The Grand Mesa Visitor Center will be open from 9am to 5pm. This is a great time to explore and enjoy the beauty of fall on the mesa. There are a few things happening in the town of Mesa...the annual arts and crafts show and the 4H Turkey Dinner. Both events are at the community. Here's a bit more information. Powderhorn Mountain Resort will have the lifts running on September 24th and 25th. Of course there's plenty to do and see on Grand Mesa. Enjoy lunch at one of the lodges and take a hike, bike or enjoy the colors from you... 09/09/2016

Real Estate activity is typically slow in Cedaredge Estates. This is a stable neighborhood that people love to call home. There isn't a lot of turnover.

The weather certainly creates a lot of photo opportunities for me. We've had unsettled weather for the last week. The rain has been nice and it's cooled off the temperatures. I was showing property a couple of days ago when I took these pictures. My buyers were meeting me at a house, and I had some time before they showed up. I always have my camera with me, so I took a few pictures. Work has been keeping me pretty busy, so I didn't have time to share them with you until today. The first picture shows a horse farm just east of town before you climb up on Cedar Mesa. The second picture looks west and it shows the canyon country of the Uncompahgre Plateau. I love the way the clouds have settled in on Grand Mesa and the plateau.  Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone. I've lived on Colorado's ... 09/04/2016

If you are looking for a great place to live with a small town atmosphere, then Cedaredge, CO might be the perfect choice for you. I've worked with many buyers that really want to get away from the high traffic and stressful living of the big city.The buyer of this home was looking to do just that. This three bedroom, one bath home is perfect for the buyer.

This home was the perfect opportunity, and it was priced so very well. The yard isn't perfect, but will be soon with some love and attention. The back of the lot borders open space for a wonderful view of Grand Mesa. If you are looking t... 08/18/2016

Northridge is a wonderful neighborhood just north of Cedaredge. It's out of town, but yet close enough that it's not an inconvenience to make a quick trip to town. The neighborhood lies on both the east and west side of Highway 65. The east side tends to have wide open lots with nice mountain and valley views. Many of the properties on the west side have wooded lots.  There's only been a slight change in the neighborhood market information since last month's report.  Last month there was one home on the market and it was pending a sale.

This is a neighborhood that has seen some major improvement over the last year. Increased buyer activity and a diminishing foreclosure market have really helped neighborhood property values. There are some slight changes in the market since last month's report.  One home has sold in the last month. The average sales price for this neighborhood is $206,500. Compare that to last year when the average sales price was $127,500. That's almost a 62% increase.  Last year's low average sales price is easily explained and not necessarily indicative of property values at that time. There were two neighborhood sales. One was a bank owned home that was price way under market value, and the second sale was due to a motivated seller.  Four homes have sold since the first of this year with selling pri... 08/14/2016

There aren't very many condominiums and townhomes in the Cedaredge area. The highest concentration is in the Cedaredge Golf Course development. Sales numbers for this year are low, but that's to be expected due to the low number of units in the area and the low number of listings. Condominiums and townhomes are grouped together in this report, because there aren't a large number of them to talk about. At this time there are two active listings and one pending a sale. Prices start at $75,000 and go up to $209,000.

If you are thinking of selling your Cedaredge Estates home now is a great time to get it on the market. That's because there is only one other home listed in the neighborhood.Sales activity has been moderate so far this year, but that's because there haven't been a lot of homes on the market. There have been some changes in the neighborhood real estate information since my last market report.  My last report showed one active listing and one pending a sale. The pending property has since sold. The active listing has been on the market for a while. It's a two bedroom home, and you can expect longer days on market due to the bedroom count.

This area of Colorado is known for it's produce. We are famous for peaches, apples and sweet corn. Most people find it interesting when they learn we are part of the banana belt. I have a large personal veggie garden and a somewhat smaller herb garden. Probably the biggest challenge I face is keeping the deer out of my garden. Deer are the biggest garden pest we have. I love home grown tomatoes. I plant anywhere from 25 to 30 plants each year. I have different varieties, shapes, sizes and colors (the variety of tomatoes reminds me of how varied the properties are that we have for sale). These pictures spotlight a few of them. It's also possible to grow just about anything else. I recently traded some of my tomatoes for green beans. Squash, peas, all types of peppers and artichokes also ... 08/03/2016

Days before the parade you know it's Serenity Run time in Cedaredge. You can see it, hear it and sometimes feel it. It's the loud noises from a couple of hundred well tuned motorcycles that clue you in. Varoom, varoom.Cedaredge has welcomed the Serenity Run Riders since 1986. If you aren't familiar with ISR, this is a very large group of motorcyclists that celebrate a clean and sober life away from drugs and alcohol. It's pretty neat to see all of these riders heading up and down the highway together. This also brings out the local bikers, who in turn show their support and line the side of the street to watch the parade. Here's a video from this year's parade. Here's a link to the video for last year's parade. A lot of the bikers use Cedaredge as a stopover on the way to the big rally ... 08/01/2016
