Should I sell my home in the Fall? This is a question I’m asked frequently. Many people think that the best time to sell a house is in the Spring. Here’s some things to consider.
1. Less Competition- Usually the homes that were for sale in the Spring have sold, if they were priced right. Simple supply and demand. If there are fewer homes on the market, you will be getting more showings, which result in more offers and ultimately top dollar for your home.
2. Faster Transactions- Since appraisers and banks are not swamped, this means a quicker turn around on getting loans approved.
3. Serious Buyers- There are always buyers. Your Realtor should be able to price your home right by doing a complete market analysis, and by having professional photography this will make your home stand out. Don’t forget curb appeal and that first impression is very important.
I’d love to sit down with you and discuss the pros and cons. If you are overwhelmed thinking about selling I can help. I can orchestra cleaning and all the details to help you sell your home less stressful.
One of the best things about summer is fresh fruit. Even though we had very little snow over the winter, several apricot trees are loaded throughout Mancos. Yum! Also Oalthe Sweet Corn is now $8 for a $1! Woo Hoo! Don’t miss the Farmer’s Market on Thursdays next to my office from 4 to 7pm for your veggies and live music. Yes, I love living in Mancos. If you are looking for a small town with a big heart come fall in love. Just recently Mancos helped a family that was down on their luck to find a place to live, get it furnished and even do landscaping for them.

Schools out and time to plan! Southwest Colorado offers an array of great things to do and see in the Summer. Some of my favorites are of course riding my caballos more! Long days allow me to ride before work and I still get to work by 8:30 am!
I also love hiking and trail running. Some of my favorite trails are Sharkstooth and Chicken Creek. I decided to take up mountain biking. So far just gone on a couple of rides. Man oh man, did my legs ache! Phils World, located between Mancos and Cortez is awesome as well as Boggie Draw outside of Dolores. Both offer single track with some challenging obstacles.
I love eating outside and watching La Plata TV. That’s just staring at the mountains. Never get tired of my view from my deck to just breathe.

P.S. The picture is my son, several years back and makes Mama happy to see that smile!

I’ve been blessed to welcome some incredibly great people into Mancos and at the same time my heart broke when I had to sell a cabin for the Nelson’s who’ve owned it for 27 years and since they are in their 90’s it’s just too hard of a drive from Louisiana.
Another great friend who lives in Calif. and been renting his house here in Mancos needed to sell. I helped him clean the property, replace flooring, take loads to the dump and get it ready for the new buyers. I am so happy to help others and able to juggle my 3 kids, my two horses that I love to ride, chickens, dogs and a couple of kittys! God knew this was the job for me! Here’s a picture of me riding in the mountains!
I was driving two weeks ago up Road 42 to go look at a cabin and I had to stop. What an amazing place I live in. Can’t believe I captured this picture. This area is just a 10 minute drive from downtown Mancos. What’s in your backyard? I would love to help you fall in love with Mancos. I’ve been here 26 years and still in awe.
Searching for a new home in Mancos, Cortez or Dolores Colorado? There are some signs to help you determine if the homeowner is desperate to sell.
Information is valuable. Do your homework. How long has the house been on the market? Why are they selling? Have there been several price drops? Google the homeowner and the address. Is the home vacant? A rental? Are they listing the home “as is”? Does the listing say “motivated seller” or “sellers concessions”?
Some of these questions can be answered by your Realtor. Ask the neighbors,and ask at the coffee shop. On your first visit to the home look for signs- is mailbox stuffed and yard untidy? If the owners are at your showing ask lots of questions. Ask them “Have you had any offers”?
