Vail Valley Real Estate Blog

In the midst of a crisis, people will take any help they can find.  In the midst of the sub-prime mortgage crisis, people are turning to St. Joseph and asking for a home sale for Christmas.  According to the Wall Street Journal, those in need of a miracle home sale are turning to St. Joseph for luck.  According to the bible, St. Joseph was a carpenter who built houses for a living and therefore burying a statue of St. Joseph in your yard will bring a quick sale from above.  The internet sales of St. Joseph statues have been going through the roof as even those non-believers are willing to take help from anywhere, as sales in many parts of the country are static and people are battling with debt. For round $5, you can purchase a statue, complete with instructions and a little prayer for a miracle home sale.

One of the areas that has been left relatively unscathed from this crisis is Vail Colorado, the beautiful ski resort located 2 hours from Denver Colorado.  While Vail has seen a slowing down in the real estate market, homes continue to sell and buyers continue to make Vail Colorado their choice for vacation and second homes.
