Happy New Year from Mancos!

Happy New Year! What a busy fall! Lot’s of buyer even though interest rates for a 30 year conventional loan hovered around 7%. When I bought my first home the interest rates was 10%. Fall in love with the home not the interest rate. You can always refinance. Bad Credit? There are always some homes on the market that offer owner financing with very little down. If you plan to stay in the area more than 2 years definitely buy and not rent. The fall also brought some huge challenges for me with family and health, so I am happy that is in the past.

In December we hosted a community Christmas Dinner and we had 49 people! Long ago, Mancos always had one but it stopped so I felt that tradition should be brought back. Downtown Mancos is changing! The Mancos Commons building next to my office will be done this Spring and have 3 rentals plus a workshop. Raven House, the art gallery after 15 years is closing up shop due to rent being raised. The Absolute Bakery changed ownership and is now closed for 2 months for remodeling! I got a new stamped concrete sidewalk in December and love it! Stop by if you are in town- 145 W. Grand Ave.

We had very little snow in December and I am happy to say that it finally snowed this am!
