Zier Report Says Crestone, Colorado, to Be Next Telluride or Sedona

Zier Report Says Crestone, Colorado, to Be Next Telluride or Sedona

The Zier report, a real estate letter about The Baca Grande, says explosive growth continues with a new paved road planned to the north entrance to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and a new Town Center Mall.

(PRWEB) June 7, 2005

The “Bocca,” a master planned development, platted with 10,000 lots in 1972, averaged only a few new homes per year until the 1990’s but over the past 10 years new housing starts has increased until last year it exceeded the contractors capacity to build. This year the per capita growth exceeds any comparable resort community, including Telluride or Sedona

Lumbert, the maven of land sales who pioneered the “Desert Triumph” in Golden Valley, AZ, believes that the Saguache County area will have a population growth passing Park County as number four for growth in Colorado. “Fueling that growth is the Baca Grande, located near the Great Sand Dunes National Park and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Lumbert has set a goal of moving 400 lots in the Baca Grande over the next two years. Last year about 200 lots were sold and the area has reached a point where new home construction will be the economic cornerstone of Saguache County just as homebuilding in Mission Viejo was to Orange County in the 70Â’s.

The price and the beauty of the location have people from all over buying second homes there. The community has an average of educational level of 15+ years, higher than Cambridge, Mass.

The lots are fully developed with underground utilities (water, sewer, electricity, phone) to the lot line and some are on paved streets. “Comparable lots anywhere in the US sell for at least $20,000, more than these” said Lumbert, but prices are rising sharply.
