PICKING UP THE PACE

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

The pace of activity this month continues to pick up in the Vail Valley, after a February that was a little below brokers' hopes here but not the disaster reported nation-wide when sales dropped 17% and prices dropped 14%. 

Here are the latest stats for new business written by the brokers of my firm, Slifer Smith & Frampton (SSF) during the last two weeks ... a nice jump over February's range which was in the $13-$19 million range and a BIG improvement over most of January, when numbers ranged largely in the $8-$9 millions.


March 18th - 24th:
$34,685,800 (SSF represented either the buyer or the seller)

$63,212,100 (counting contracts where SSF represented buyer + seller)



March 11th - 17th:
$25,074,211 (SSF represented either the buyer or the seller)
$39,067,343 (counting contracts where SSF represented buyer + seller)
