The Loveland CO February 2012 Real Estate Market Report shows mixed signals, with sales down, but prices continuing to improve. The slowdown in sales is most likely a result of seasonal effects, since underlying economic conditions have shown no significant change, and we still think that the improvement in median and average prices is probably from sales activity shifting to higher price ranges, and not indicative of any shift in actual home values.

In the meantime, prices continue to be very attractive and interest rates are remaining at all-time lows, so buyers interested in taking advantage of good opportunities should check out Loveland CO Realty for a closer look at what is currently for sale. If you something that catches your interest, please give us a call - we'd be happy to show you any of these homes at your convenience.

Glacier View Meadows and Red Feather Lakes, Colorado Weather

Last Friday it snowed and it snowed …and it snowed a lot! “They” say it’s unusual for us to get this much snow in February!

There is something quite peaceful about being snowed in, but after one day of it, it’s great to get out of the house and drive.

So far, my travels have only been up and down the Red Feather Lakes Rd. to the office. It’s a nice drive and I think the land covered in snow and our beautiful cerulean blue skies are so pretty.

Winter provides Glacier View Meadows and Red Feather Lakes residents many opportunities to enjoy outdoor sports like ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and riding snowmobiles. Many of those activities are almost right outside our back door! You can ice skate, go tubing, go for a sleigh ride, or my all time favorite winter sport- snuggle up by a warm fire inside.

So don’t just think of us as a great place in summer, because it’s fun and beautiful in winter too!

By the way, your cross country skis called me – They want out of the garage.
