Summer is almost over and we are seing more and more showings of our properties and we are getting busier, people just need the confidence to start buying and now the prices have stabilised and interest rates are down then we should see increased sales.
New listings are 308 Mountaineer Lodge at $324,900 one of the best prices/sq ft ($296.71) on the mountain. Properties viewed at the ski hill include Aspens #25, #55, (too small for their needs) Glacier Lodge 111, 103 clients wanting first floor access but again to small. Showed them #21 Whispering Pines and this was their preference, but they are still undecided.

The Heat wave seems to be over and rain is coming our way which is refreshing and much needed. New listings #11 Mountain Shadows $35,000, 1205 S 10th Ave. $348,900, #19 Whispering Pines $660,000 (No GST).
There have been showings of 1205 10th last week and over the long weekend I showed at the ski hill. The hill was very busy (which is good for rentals) and all the condo's were full so I could only get into one unit 204 GL, then I showed the Aspens units 21, 25, 55, 52. These clients also met with the hill and we will find out if the want to buy new or a re-sale but they are looking towards a 2 bedroom or the new one bedroom with den. 503 and 504 10th Street lots are SOLD and we have conditional offers in on Lot #23, 1313 Campbell Road and 849 Crandall Road.
On another note, Team Chambers has taken in some of the local hikes over the last couple of weekends. Last weekend was Gorman Lake, its a 1 hr drive to the parking lot and a 1 hour hike up to a serene aqua mountain lake, we took our dad along with us, he is 84 years old and kept up with us all the way!
On Monday of the Long weekend we went to Twin Falls in Yoho National Park again a 1 hour drive to Takakaw Falls then a 2.5hr hike (3 hrs with a 2 year old on your back!!) to the falls itself passing lots of interesting spots on the way, definitely worth a trip. We have also recently biked along the local trails around Golden which was great fun.
