September 2026 – Amy’s Shenanigans
September is my favorite month in the mountains and I spent a great amount of time outside golfing and enjoying the leaves. My youngest son Max turned 21 and we celebrated in Boulder with a “toast.” We went to Aspen for an event at Kemosabe and you can see my fresh...
Summit County Real Estate Market Update – September 2026
September held prices steady, with a $1.1M rolling 12-month median that matches August's record high. The fall slowdown came a little early, though: buyers have more to choose from than they did a year ago, and they're taking their time. If August was "driving 45 in a...
August 2026 – Amy’s Shenanigans

July2026 – Amy’s Shenanigans
I celebrated my birthday in July, played plenty of golf with family and friends, and took a trip to Southern California to visit Tyler who now lives in Newport Beach. And that’s Candice’s daughter Eloise and I with matching aviator sunglasses. As I always say, you...
Summit County Real Estate Market Update – July 2026
For this month’s market report, I’m providing a screen shot from a MLS reporting module called Green Lights. Because the market is holding steady without any marked changes to be captured in the July 2026 data set, I thought a picture is worth a thousand words. We did...
Summit County Real Estate Market Update – June 2026
Overall, things are heating up for summer as we would expect. Thus far, we are trending ahead of the past few years in pricing and number of sales. There is still a lot of inventory to choose from, so buyers can be picky and negotiate and sellers should expect to...
May 2026 – Candice’s Shenanigans
May started with our annual Mother’s Day camping trip in Moab with a crew of friends. While I took very few photos, we did lots of mountain biking with kids and some trail running. I did a few other trail runs with friends as we prep for some fun summer races! There...
