April has been a reflective and grateful month for me. Lately, I’ve been asked a lot: “Why do people move here?” And truthfully, I might be one of the most qualified people to answer that—not just because I’m a local real estate agent, but because I made the move myself many years ago. My family back home used to ask me that same question. And while my reasons have only grown over time, a few have stayed close to my heart: I crave the slower pace of small town living, I still can’t get enough of that crisp, clean mountain air, and walking everywhere? Let’s just say, it’s become a non-negotiable joy in my daily life.

I’ve also come to deeply appreciate the endless adventure this valley offers. Whether it’s skiing, hockey, hiking, biking, kayaking, or casting a line into one of our local rivers, we truly do it all here. Life in the mountains just feels right—and I love helping others find their own slice of it. If you’re thinking about making a move to the Crested Butte or Gunnison area, don’t be shy—send me a message. I’m always happy to share why this place has my heart (and 96 more reasons why it could have yours too). 💛 #lovewhereyoulive #mountainliving #crestedbutte #colorado #gunnison- Heather

Colorado law mandates a two-year reassessment cycle for all real property, meaning that county assessors across the state re-evaluate property values every odd-numbered year. This statutory requirement ensures assessments reflect current market conditions and maintains equitable taxation. In 2025, counties statewide—including Gunnison County—enter a reappraisal year, marking the start of a new cycle. Property owners should note that the valuation established in 2025 will remain the same for the 2026 tax year.

When the ski lifts stop spinning and the snow begins to melt, Crested Butte and Gunnison slip into what the locals affectionately call “mud season.” It’s that magical window between the winter wonderland and summer buzz—typically mid-April through May—when things slow down just enough for everyone to catch their breath. Many businesses take a well-earned break, the trails are still drying out, and the streets feel extra quiet. But don’t be fooled—this is one of the most underrated seasons in the valley.
