Stay or Go in Estes Park

“There are plenty of thought-provoking choices to make in life–more so when you take a glance at predictions and numbers that can relate back to your or your client’s livelihoods,” said Estes Park REALTOR® and CAR Spokesperson Abbey Pontius. In Estes Park, the average sales price of a single-family home is $583,367, and townhomes and condos are at $393,000. “This amount of money will have a major pull on life’s choices.” According to Pontius, one choice homeowners have is staying, investing more in property, and “riding the slopes of the economy.” The other choice homeowners have is selling and making the most of a new beginning. “The choice can go both ways when you look at the numbers,“ says Pontius. “However, it isn’t always the option that sales prices are up +15.4% and property owners are seeing gains of up to +1.3% on listing prices for a total of 101.5% over asking price.”
