Spring was pretty anomalous in Crested Butte. Even in late spring, we experienced quite a lot of snow on a couple of occasions. Many locals were a little bummed at this point, as they wanted to lose that nippy feeling that winter had caused. Nevertheless, we can always have a business perspective on things and see the positive side of what has happened.
 
In terms of tourism, despite having a low number of local events, comparing it to the other seasons, tourists were able to participate in outdoor activities. The vast biking and hiking trails that opened up, greeted tourists and locals with a sea of colorful wildflowers, which have bloomed all around the area. With snow still surprisingly falling, tourists could also go skiing in some areas. In terms of real estate, Crested Butte and the surrounding areas has been very good. These extraordinary weather patterns managed to attract many tourists to come in and even provided great days for agents to showcase some fantastic properties.
As the summer season is approaching, we hope for even better weather. Click the link about the Summertime in Crested Butte article to learn about some exciting outdoor activities we have in store for you.
The reports below will show you some great result that can be indirectly caused by these unusual weather patterns.

So what does all this mean to you?

We can see that May was a good month for real estate. There were many properties sold, particularly for town homes and condos. Despite the funny weather conditions, the down time during the mud season, and the very low volume of local events, it’s becoming apparent that town homes and condos are the number 1 choice for buyers.
Now that we are entering summer, we can expect a great number of tourists coming in to greet the summer activities. This is a great time for sellers to put their properties on the market.
