Two months ago, when the April tax refund credit expired, we saw a lull in pending properties. That was a natural occurrence. Real estate sales are somewhat predictable and cyclical. More people want to buy in spring and summer and less people want to buy real estate during the winter holidays. Although Steamboat Springs real estate picks up during the winter – for obvious reason; we’re Ski Town USA after all. But predicting real estate sales in a stagnate real estate markets, in a slowly recovering national economy it just about impossible.

WHY GOOD PHOTOS ARE SO IMPORTANT
Tuesday, August 10th, 20101. Price and location are the most important factors in selling a home. If the home is priced too high or in a location no one wants to live in, awesome photos make little difference. Price is a key issue in today’s sluggish market. Home sellers having a hard time wrapping their mind around how much their home has dropped in value the last couple of years. Getting home sellers to price their home at market value can be a big struggle.
2. Once a home is priced near market value and there are a bunch of other homes in the same price range and location, the importance of photography becomes appearent.

"What made the real difference in selling our home were Charlie's beautiful photographs. His artful eye captured the unique craftsman nature of our home, and even had us amazed at how great he made it look. His photo of our house at night expressed exactly what we knew buyers would want: warmth, comfort, beauty and charm."
