Recently I got a chuckle out of a meme posted on Fb with the heading: “If 2020 Was A Beer” above a photo of a glass, with one inch of beer and five inches of foam. While much of the economy (local, state and national) has taken it on the chin this spring, the housing…
Sometimes It Pays To Procrastinate
You know, like buying concert tickets in the parking lot just before the show for less than face value. As usual, I waited until the last minute to write this column despite not being so busy with work these days. But, in these rapidly changing times, it may mean that I’m less behind the reality…
January Reflections
If you’ve been a reader of this column for very long, this might sound familiar: like the infamy of December 7, 1941’s bombing of Pearl Harbor, so too was February 2010 infamous for the near collapse of the local real estate market.

Paonia Mountain Harvest Fest 2017
Can you feel it?! The nights are getting cooler, the leaves are starting to change, and locally-harvested food is in abundance (not to mention, pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING! Does it get any better?) The winds of change are a’blowing here in the North Fork Valley! Residents are welcoming autumn with open arms in excited anticipation of…
End-of-Summer Update
With the hottest part of the summer over and snow still several months away, most folks will agree that this is the best part of the year. It is typically also the busiest season for real estate. Given that this year’s real estate sales are already the fastest-paced in a decade, we expect the local…
See you at the Park!
… Paonia Town Park, that is! We’re in our last week of July, which can only mean one thing for North Fork Valley locals: Pickin’ in the Park!! As one of the events’ sponsors, we are so excited to support Pickin’ Production’s 10th Anniversary, which will surely bring some incredible talent to our favorite summer…
