WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN THE LOCAL REAL ESTATE MARKET?
By Erich Ferchau
T
he stars are aligning…it’s a “seller’s market” in Denver…Gunnison County “always” lags in the recovery…the momentum is building…buildings are
going up and some are coming down! So, what is really up?
The bottom line is, comparing the first six months of the year to the same period last year (MLS data through June 14, 2013), we have seen a market-wide increase in
real estate sales (units sold) of 4% and the dollar sales are up 12%. That is all markets, all types of real estate…land, condos, single family, multi-family, etc.
Depending on the day you look at the data, these numbers fluctuate a bit. The best general summary is: Sales are up, the dollar volume is up and, it appears that
more of that growth is occurring outside the central population centers (Gunnison,
Crested Butte and Mt Crested Butte).
In Gunnison and Rural Gunnison…it appears as though sales above $300,000 were
stronger last year with 7 units sold last year (Jan 1 thru Jun 14) vs. 2 units sold this
year. Last year, total units sold of single family homes outpaced this year 31 to 24.
On the other hand, condominium/townhouse sales are up in 2013 compared to the
same period a year ago, 5 vs. 3
If there was one message I would stress to Buyers, the market is picking up and
prices will begin to rebound because of that demand. Interest rates are low and
will likely see some modest increase over the next year. If you see a property you
like, strongly consider making a purchase. Remember, there are very few
properties in our market (excluding Mt. Crested Butte condos) that are similar to
something else. If you are looking to sell and “move up” to a different property
that better meets your needs, I encourage you to come talk with us about possible
trades or purchases that are contingent on the sale of your home. With the market
increasing, Sellers are once again willing to go under contract subject to your
property selling.
We enjoy spending time with you discussing the real estate market and looking at
homes. Do not hesitate to call and schedule showings with us. It is the best way for
you to decide whether or not it is time to buy or sell your home. We look forward to
working with you!
Classic homes like this charming bungalow are rarely on the market and
this one is located in the heart of Gunnison. This home is comfortable
inside and out, completely restored with modern features in the kitchen
and bathrooms. Enjoy the large, beautifully landscaped yard with white
picket fence. As a bonus, there is a two bedroom apartment in the
basement with a separate outside entrance. Contact Erich to learn more
about this and other unique properties in Gunnison and Crested Butte.

ON THE RIVER
By Jay Miller
A
wise man once said that the
best time to plant a tree was yesterday…
perhaps the same holds true with
acquiring property on the river. Those
elusive “river properties” never seem to
be available when the time is “right”.
Right now RE/MAX has several
exceptional properties that are “ on the
river” and are actively listed for sale.
One property in particular is 908
Camino del Rio which is pictured above. This four bedroom, three and one-half
bath home is located very near the Dos Rios Golf course. It features a nicely
appointed great room and first floor master suite. An oversized three car provides
ample room for vehicles, toys and your golf cart. The large deck is close enough to
the “West Fork” of the Gunnison River to fish or simply enjoy. This is one property
that you really do have to see to see to fully appreciate. Listed at $995,000
TROUT HOMES OF
THE GUNNISON RIVER
By Joey Micucci
T
he Gunnison River holds an astonishing number of Trout. Rainbow and
Brown trout are the more predominant species, along with a good number of
Cutbow, and here and there you will come across Brook, and Cutthroat trout as
well. The Gunnison’s abundant food sources, cool water, and ideal structure create
prime trout habitat, making it a highly regarded western river. Depending on the
season/weather, trout can be found in various areas of the river. Water
temperature is perhaps the most important factor that influences where trout
choose to live in the river, as it correlates with the aquatic insect activity and the
metabolic rate of fish. Some of the highest insect activity occurs when water temps
are in the 45 F – 65 F range, and this is also when trout will usually be most active.
So where exactly might trout of the Gunnison River prefer to live and why?
Shelves, Drop Offs, and Buckets: The Gunnison River is well known for
these river structures and they are best characterized by apparent color changes in
the water. When the riverbed drops, making the water depth suddenly increase,
the water will appear a darker green color, making the riverbed less or no longer
visible. Shelves, drop offs, buckets, and a minor decrease in the grade of a river
usually make sections of water that appear to have a light chop, or “riffles”. Good
oxygen and insect flow, and sometimes cooler water make a comfortable place for
trout to hang out and feed. Trout will most often be found here during times of
increased bug activity, or hot weather from late spring through autumn.
Structure: Like many fish, Trout can often be found in and around structure.
Structure commonly found on the Gunnison River includes: Fallen or hanging
trees, willows, boulders, cut banks and bridges. All structures provide the trout
shelter from predators and fishermen. Fallen trees, hanging trees, and willows also
attract certain insects that trout eat. Boulders, whether on the bank or in the middle
of the river, help create “pockets” and “seams” which are water structures. A
pocket is a small piece of still or very slow moving water, which provide a place for
trout to escape faster currents and save energy. A “seam” is where the faster
current meets slower moving water. Often times, trout that are holding in a pocket
will quickly move to the seam to feed, and then return to the pocket to rest again. A
cut bank occurs when the river has carved under the bank, and flows underneath
it, providing perhaps the best cover for trout. Though not visible, you could be
standing on a cut bank and have a few fish right below your feet.
Bailey Ranch:
Ohio Creek Valley: This is an outstanding 1,227 acre ranch nestled
in the Ohio Creek Valley…not much more needs to be said.
Overlooking the lush, 300+ acres of meadow is a modest home,
barn and log cabin with exceptional views. The upper, more heavily
timbered ground has thick aspen and pine forest, beautiful wild
flowers, and a whole lot of wildlife! Every season offers special

At least for the time being my major is
biology with an emphasis on pre-allied
health. I chose Western because it is an
affordable school, it’s in a beautiful place,
and it’s the perfect size.
I am a Senior studying Psychology and
Sociology. I came to WSCU because I love the
community in Gunnison, and I have really
enjoyed the diversity of opportunities that
Western presents to students - there is
something here for everyone!

I am pursuing a degree in Professional Land and
Resource Management. I have loved my time at
Western, daring myself to experience all this
Valley has to offer. My favorite part of the
University has defiantly been the professors.
Each professor I have encountered not only cares
about the criteria they teach, but they also have
a commitment to this Valley. Being a local,
this means a lot to me.
I am attending WSCU because they
have a great biology program. I plan to
get a degree in zoology or wildlife
photography, or both and have a career
working with people, animals and
traveling the world.
