If you’re looking to purchase real estate somewhere that combines Colorado’s stunning natural beauty with a vibrant community, look to the southwest corner of the state for Durango — a still relatively untapped market for real estate located near renowned ski resorts.
“As a transplant from Dallas to Durango, I can see such enormous untapped potential here for second homes,” says Eric Roark, Colorado- and Texas-licensed real estate agent with the Wells Group Real Estate. “Durango could be the most affordable alternative to Aspen, and the market is just starting to get hot.”
It’s certainly getting hot for tourism. Durango was ranked the number one tourist destination for the second year in a row, according to the Tourism Sentiment Index, which gauges social media conversations and online publications to rank locations on their favorability. That’s probably why you’ll already see plenty of Texans flocking to the ski destination.
