As usually happens at this time of year, there were significantly more sales closer to the slopes than closer to the Lake (the $/sqft on the one lakeview property was considerably lower than normal because it … Continue reading →
As temperatures start to cool, the inventory has fallen to 551 Single family residences already. That’s about a 10% drop from the peak a month ago.
