The life you love.
elcome to the Summer 2022 issue of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty’s signature publication, LIV Magazine. I am always eager to share the newest issues with you because it signals a change of the seasons and marks a time for reflection and growth. As we look back on the last two years, I want to share my gratitude for our talented team of brokers and the clients who entrusted us in the search for their dream lifestyles and homes.
The world has shifted drastically since the start of the pandemic, and this shift resulted in new consumer desires that sparked unprecedented market growth and a mountain migration like never before. A new work-life balance emerged where people live where they play rather than where they work, and thanks to infrastructure advancements and technological capabilities, living in and working from Colorado’s highest summits and deepest valleys became a reality. This lifestyle change led many of you to our resort communities, where our reputation as Colorado’s leading luxury real estate firm preceded us and our brokers welcomed you to the area and into their lives. Our success in the industry comes down to the people we meet and the relationships we build, and I am honored that when many of you are faced with the ability to move anywhere and work with anyone, you choose our brokers and our backyard.

ow did the experts at the Pantone Color Institute know? Had they ever spied a Colorado alpine meadow carpeted with spectacular, bluey Mountain Lupine, or glimpsed towering Pikes Peak, which inspired that timeless line from America the Beautiful about “purple mountain majesties”?
Sure, they are color experts, but were these stunning shades forefront in their minds while they deliberated the next Pantone Color of the Year from their New Jersey offices? Had the otherworldly purple-rose of alpenglow at altitude elbowed its way into their debate?

s we head into what is typically the busiest season for real estate sales, interest rates are climbing and mortgage loan applications are slowing, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. For much of the country, home prices right now are sky-high and those big price tags are causing people to think hard about whether now is the best time to purchase a new home.
Things are a little different in Colorado’s resort areas, however. Inflation and the economic fluctuations that affect much of the country’s real estate numbers don’t have the same impact in resort towns where many buyers purchase homes with cash.
“Activity is still strong in the mountain communities across all sectors,” said Dan Fitchett, President of Colorado Resort Markets at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “Prices continue to escalate, and sales continue to outpace the previous year’s numbers. Houses that might have sat on the market for a few weeks three years ago are now selling in hours, often sight unseen. Nothing is slowing down.”
