The local housing market is seeing a boom in Chaffee County, as mortgage agents across the area are seeing a busy time.

Fairway Independent Mortgage’s Jim Vowell

We talked with Jim Vowell with Fairway Independent Mortgage who says he has been busier this spring and summer than he can ever remember as people are lining up to either refinance a current home, or to look into purchasing one of their own.

Vowell says even if you are sweating housing prices in the area now, it is still a good time to call and link up with a local agent to see if there is a program available to help with the hurdles of getting into a home.

He also reminds that purchasing a house isn’t like any other purchase, but is also an investment which is also showing great growth currently in this area.

Vowell can be found in his office off of Highway 24 in Buena Vista. He can also be called at 719) 966-2300.
