What differentiates you from other luxury brokers?
Real estate is an industry where repeat business and referrals play a crucial role. By prioritizing relationships, The Liz Leeds Luxury Team are investing in our long-term success. Satisfied clients become advocates for our business, leading to continued success and growth in our real estate career. Understanding and empathy is also important to us. A strong focus on relationships means that we prioritize understanding our clients’ needs and concerns. This empathetic approach allows us to better assist them in finding the ideal property or selling their current one. By genuinely understanding their desires, we can personalize our services and provide tailored solutions.

What are the current trends you seeing in the real estate market?
From a design perspective, we are continuing to see homes that offer a large living space so family members can be together in the kitchen, dining, and great room. Outdoor living is a priority so families can gather and be in the outdoors together, eating and socializing. First-floor primary bedrooms are desirable as well. When it comes to the overall market trends, buyers are discerning and leaning toward updated, remodeled, turn-key properties. Sellers understand that it is taking longer to sell their properties, so we all work to price correctly based on their long-term needs and plans.

Is real estate still a good investment in a shifting market?
Despite the uncertainties created by the economic climate and rising mortgage rates, real estate can still prove an attractive investment today. Remember that a lot of the value of investing in real estate comes in the long term—holding a property and letting time grow your investment. Investors looking to make a short-term score are often disappointed. In our resort communities, we only have so much inventory we can sell. The demand is much higher than the supply. Price per square foot prices continue to rise for that reason. If you desire to live in Vail, you may want to consider buying versus waiting as next year we may be up another 3 to 5 percent.

There are several attractive reasons to consider buying real estate in the Vail Valley. Natural Beauty: Breathtaking mountain views, lush forests, and an abundance of outdoor activities, make it an ideal location for nature enthusiasts. Year-round Recreation: A multitude of recreational opportunities are offered throughout the year, including skiing, snowboarding, golfing, hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and more. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy various activities no matter the season. Proximity to Vail Mountain Resort: The resort is one of the most renowned ski destinations in the United States, drawing visitors from around the world. Owning property in the Vail Valley gives you convenient access to this world-class ski resort. Strong Market Potential: The real estate market in the Vail Valley has shown resilience and steady growth over the years. Buying property in this area can be a sound investment with potential for value appreciation. Lifestyle and Community: Vail Valley provides a vibrant and welcoming community that emphasizes an active outdoor lifestyle. The area is known for its cultural events, festivals, and a wide array of dining and shopping options. Of course, each person’s preferences and circumstances are unique, so it’s important to consider your specific needs and goals before making any real estate investment decisions.
