The short sale transactions have increased across the board this first quarter with Granby Condos seeing the largest increase with one short sale sold last year and 8 sold this year. One question that is on everyones mind is how many more foreclosures will we see in 2011? The Grand County Public Trustee foreclosure list is actually down 28% as of March 31, 2011. This year there are 40 properties listed for foreclosure. Last year there were 56. Maybe this is a good sign that foreclosures are slowing down? It is still a fantastic time to find a great deal if you are considering a mountain investment.
