EAGLE COUNTY – — The local real estate market is usually pretty quiet in January. But numbers from the first month of 2012 show some real strength.
According to the latest information from Land Title Guarantee Co., the number of completed sales in January of this year — 90 — is actually the same as January of 2011. The big difference is the price of those transactions. The total value of all those sales was nearly $104.5 million, the biggest volume number since 2008, and a 21 percent jump from last year’s number.
Last year, total transactions in the county were up, but dollar volume was down. In fact, the year’s dollar volume total was down 23 percent from 2010.
As is often the case in Eagle County, a handful of transactions — six sales of $4 million or more — accounted for about half of January’s dollar volume.
