Sold The Condo - Woohoo 13Apr16

We just closed on the sale of the condo at Prospector Village! What I learned is that a realtor, even on the selling side, is worth the extra burn (it is a lot though). Chris Small, a resident of PV herself, put it up and we had offers exceeding my ask on day 1 - we accepted an all cash deal and we closed today. We bought it for $269K in 2011 and sold it for $296K in 2016. Net-net of our upgrades and realtor expenses it was about a wash. Summit County even screwed us a bit... right after we bought it assuming 896 sqft from their records they reassessed it to 847 sqft! I made appeals to no end and had to deal with that acceleration to the $/sqft. Strange that my Zillow listing and sign in the window weren't enough to flip it at $289K even though I was offering buyer commission of 3% - as we know, marketing counts. It was a great place but our use model changed and the Eagle's Nest place suits us well now.
