Good morning from the Chase Brothers in Big Horn and Sheridan, WY. It was a beautiful Spring-like morning and I know people like to see images of our beautiful area, plus horses are always a pleasure to view too. So, for your viewing pleasure, I took a little bit of video (click) as 19 horses came through the gate to dine on Hay! Below is a preview picture.
I know, I know, it's easy to let the media tell you what to think. Doom and gloom permeates the headlines and we might as well just give up, right? Wrong. Yes, it's true that the real estate markets may be correcting in some areas (all markets are local). However, I think there's a lot of good news out there that isn't getting reported. I'm interested to hear from agents around the country what your perspectives are.
In our market, the Big Horn and Sheridan, WY area, I see a slight "flattening" trend in lower priced homes, but in general, and especially in the upper-end properties, our market is still pretty strong. Homeowners here can take advantage of substantial equity they've "banked" in their properties over the past 6-7 years and with the historically low interest rates, they can make a move upward. That's a good thing.
We still seem to see a pretty strong interest in our area from people wanting to move here too. We do have a strong energy industry here, but people are choosing the low taxes, beauty of the area and the lifestyle. This is all good.
Along the eastern slope of Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains stretches one of the most beautiful, desirable, and valuable real estate markets in the American West. Sheridan, Wyoming and the surrounding area offers a once-in-a-lifetime real estate opportunity for individuals in search of a perfect piece of the historic West and a solid investment opportunity.
From large working ranches, which offer multiple and diverse enterprise operations, to properties with mineral interests, sporting properties for hunting and fishing, or beautiful estates, this region is rich with investment quality properties.
The growth and popularity of Sheridan is not new; the pioneering spirit of the West is as alive today as it always has been. The Sheridan area is experiencing one of its strongest demand periods, due primarily to mineral exploration and production. Additionally, Wyoming's favorable tax climate, the Sheridan area's beauty and the people who live here, create an outstanding quality of life , which further adds to the demand. Above all else however, Land is still king and those who own ranches like those featured on our website are rarely traded. Their scarcity is truly a testament to both their intrinsic and monetary value.
If you or one of your clients is interested in investing in land in the Rocky Mountain West we would be happy to work with you.
Winter in Big Horn can be great for snow mobiling and back country skiing, but what everyone loves is the summer season. For polo enthusiasts, whether players or fans, we have the Big Horn Polo Club, which is the oldest continuously played polo club in the United States. This is a fun, and down-to-earth polo club where we play and often times we get to play and practice with some of the best players in the world who come to play high-goal polo at the Flying H Polo Club, which is just across the fence from our club. We're blessed to have some of the very best polo in the United States during the summer and certainly one of the most beautiful venues. At the Flying H, they host several North American Polo League (NAPL) tournaments and in the summer of 2007, they hosted the very first NAPL Tournament. We also got to experience a 30-goal game, which was a great charity event to benefit the Downtown Sheridan Association (DSA) and the Goose Creek Restoration Project in Sheridan. This was an incredible exhibit of some of the best polo ever seen in the United States. It's rare to have a game where there's 30 goals of talent on each team. Thosands of spectators came out and watched an exciting game of polo.
