New data out after the first quarter of 2011 have Salida Realtors all saying the same thing, “it’s a Buyer’s Market.” The average sales value of commercial, residential and land properties in Chaffee County decreased during the first quarter of 2011. The average price for any conveyance in the first quarter of 2011 was $187,961, […]
The week ahead promises to be a big one for anglers on the Arkansas River. Why? The Annual Caddis Hatch. The annual hatch was waylaid by cool temperatures at the lower end of Big Horn Sheep Canyon, which stretches from Salida to Canon City, but was anticipated to arrive in Cotopaxi early this week. The […]
Thinking about buying a home in the Salida area, but feel like you are getting conflicting advice? You’re not the only one. First sales are up, then they’re down. The market is showing signs of renewed movement, but then that movement proves only horizontal. Signs point to a recovery, then oil prices rise, creating uncertainty. […]

What I’m really getting at though, […]
Its interesting to talk to folks in from out of town and have them say, “Whenever I come to Salida I ALWAYS eat at _________,” because this next visit some of those folks are in for a very pleasant surprise. For a little Rocky Mountain town nextled in a doughnut hole of fifteen 14,000 ft. […]
Once the holidays pass and MLK weekend has come and gone things tend to settle down here in Salida and start to plod along at that slow, small-town-winter pace. All of a sudden there is seating in the restaurants again and you know most of the folks at the bar, the lift lines have gone […]
