birdseye view: market snapshot, third quarter 2021 So far there’s no end in sight! Sales, along with summer and fall activities, in the Gunnison valley have been full speed this year. The interest for properties of all types has been beyond belief. Heading into the fall, our agents are reporting that they have ready buyers who are eagerly awaiting properties to go on the market.
available listings, another all-time low.
Veteran realtors acknowledge that they have never seen demand like this in over thirty years. The average supply in our primary markets is less than two months, which means essentially that properties are going under contract immediately when they hit the market – in most cases with multiple offers.

In the luxury market, there have been 53 sales over $2 million compared to 16 sales this time last year. Bluebird has participated in 27 of the transaction sides.
Bluebird is on track to hit another all-time high sales record prior to our five-year anniversary this spring. We are thrilled to be expanding into the Gunnison market in a prime downtown location at 218 N Main St with veteran leaders driving our business in this exciting market. Houses are flying off the market in the Gunnison area. Prices have risen over 20 percent this year and sales are up 38 percent, causing inventory to be at record lows. We will continue working towards our mission of “bringing dreams home” and would love for you to be our next happy client.
