What a month, and what a fantastic Alpine World Cup that Sun Valley put on!
Even though the downhill was canceled due to wind, the other three events were wildly successful and the attendance at the bottom of Greyhawk was huge and raucous! Factor in a 2nd place finish in the Super G by legend (and now "The Comeback Kid") Lindsey Vonn and a Slalom victory by the greatest skier of all time, Mikaela Shiffrin, and you've got memories that will live in everyone's mind forever.
A lot has already been written and shared about what a great job Sun Valley did in hosting this year's World Cup Finals, and here is one of the best articles we've seen, in Forbes no less. We'll hear more about the economic impact in the weeks and months to come, and it's looking like a pretty sure bet that we will be hosting the event in 2027 and perhaps 2029 as well. We'll keep you posted on all of these details as they become public and confirmed.
April is the month when Wood River Valley residents enjoy their last days sliding and gliding on the snow, and start prepping their warm-weather gear, such as bikes, running shoes, boats, and camping equipment. In other words, we are going to be partaking in some "twofers," which is to say snow activities in the morning and dirt/trail outings in the afternoon (or vice versa, whatever the weather dictates). Have a great transitional month, and if you've got real estate questions or needs, please contact us.
March's Real Estate Activity Recap

Most of the lagging indicators (sales, pendings, new listings) are slightly below the March averages with total sales being the outlier. There is a sense that real estate took a back seat to all the World Cup activity, and we may see a busier-than-normal April and May as a result of people who were visiting coming back to focus on real estate. We'll see if that is the case.
Reminder that we've added a couple of new sections to the report, which you can find on pgs 6 and 7.
Call or text us if there's anything in the report you want to discuss more deeply.
What's On the Market?
We continue to see properties that are well-priced and in condition receive a lot of attention from buyers, some even inviting multiple offer situations. Here is a link to the entire Sun Valley inventory of active listings.
