A normal workday, except for the amazing winter wonderland outside my office window. We did take an hour to drive around and see the neighborhood, the Highlands, and talk to a local realtor about the market. The Highlands, which includes the golf course community where we are staying, consists of ~600 homes/lots perched high above the Blue River valley, with amazing views of the 10 Mile Range and Breckenridge's 4 mountains. The house next door to us is on the market at a great price, and we had thought it was typical of the kind of prices/deals that are available in this down market. No such luck. It is being foreclosed because it has issues. The nicer homes are still very expensive ($300-500 /foot). So, we are thinking that renting a month in the winter, and a month in the summer, is a much more affordable way to have "2 homes"! Let someone else deal with the hassles and carry the financial burden and risk!
"They" are forecasting the 1st significant snowfall since the 1st week of our stay. Our dear friends Phil and Kay Rawlins arrive tomorrow; perfect timing to ski the powder this weekend! We will be crossing our fingers, and Phil claims to practice a mean snow dance that can bring it on! (pictures promised)
