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.
