FROM THE TRAIL #47, DADS

FROM THE TRAIL #47, DADS

While I just published this video today, I shot the frames for it a couple of weeks ago while my son Ethan and his friend fished a special lake together. Since that day on the water my Aunt JoAnne passed away and just last weekend my dad-in-law Corky also passed away. What a year of grief and sadness and while their deaths were not covid related, they compounded what has been a sad year for my family. But we rise above and keep the beautiful memories atop our minds and that lifts our frowns to smiles. Welcome to #47 From the Trail. It stinks to lose people close in your life. Those who raised you. Those who shaped you. Those who loved you. And those who took you fishing. For this I'm grateful for my Dad, my Aunt JoAnne and my dad-in-law Corky. Too much loss but so many good memories, of being free....

FROM THE TRAIL #46, MISS YOU

FROM THE TRAIL #46, MISS YOU

Dad you lifted me up by your actions in so many ways. I can’t count them all but I’ll say the ones that are top of mind: Humor is life’s light. Running is good for your body y mind. Creativity and ingenuity are supreme. Story telling captivates. Nature and camping is a must. Fishing is good cuz your stuck with someone. Hot tubs? Same reason. Road trips to amazing places in a station wagon with family of 7? Same reason. Ice cream sundaes very important. That you get what you give. To ask your kids questions. To look ya straight in the eye. To pray. To be happy. Trust your intuition. Be yourself. To laugh. To treat people fairly. To work hard. To ski hard (water and snow). To love yourself. To love your wife. To love. To say “I love you!” As Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Dad, you make us feel good! Love you dad, aka Calvin Bunyat, aka Spaghetti Bender

On the Corner Vol. 14 Issue 1, Q1/Q2 2020

If you take a moment to look back to what you were doing around the 3rd week in February this year, where were you? Well, I had the pleasure of sitting down with neighbor Sally Holloway to learn a little bit about her life her in the Lower Chautauqua neighborhood. She’s lived in two homes on lower Bluebell Avenue for about the last 66 years where she raised 3 children with her husband John JP Holloway. The words Covid, pandemic and social distancing were not in your conversation, I’ll bet. It was still wintery and the air was cool and finches were nibbling on seeds at the bird feeder on the opposite side of the window from Sally’s living room chair, from which she shared her stories of her life here. Sally is a very kind person. A smart woman and a wonderful wife and mother. Please join me as we learn more about Sally Holloway, 94, in a question and answer format for you On the Corner readers.

September Brings Interesting News and More

Hi friends and family. Well, the evenings are getting cooler and the kids are deep into school, which means September is upon us. This seasonal transition brings changes in our real estate market and we need to modify how we price homes for our sellers and make offers for our buyers. And will changing interest rates effect sales in our area? Read the featured articles below for more info.

It’s been a big year so far for Real Estate in Boulder County with median sales prices for single family homes up 7% over last year, and it will be exciting to see how this fall market and the fourth quarter will unfold. If you have any questions about the current market or anything regarding your Real Estate decisions or your home, I’m here to answer those questions.

Please fly with me to my new featured property this month at 625 University Ave. in Boulder. This one is special for the buyer who wants a cool project in a really awesome part of West Boulder.

In the meantime, for some fun, please tune into Part 27 From the Trail to get a first-hand glimpse of our ride aboard the Ride of Steel at Darien Lake Amusement Park in New York, last month.
.
And speaking of fun rides — this month I’m featuring another community non-profit program, The Carousel of Happiness, in Nederland, CO. The Carousel is a piece of living folk art inspiring happiness and joy. With 56 whimsical, hand-carved animals atop a 1910 carousel, it attracts visitors of all ages and many people with disabilities. Your donation helps to keep The Carousel accessible and inspire happiness and connection among all who visit. Please see how important this program is and consider giving today! 

Thank you for your business and thank you for tuning in, HATCH

Boulder County is Popular in the News this Month

Hi friends, real estate in Boulder County is still as active and busy as ever. Just when I thought the usual late summer doldrums were upon us, business never really slowed and I owe that to so many of you or looking out for me and my biz. But see the July Stats below for more details, too. The Buzz this month highlights a fun feature on the city of Boulder from the Washington Post. Check it out! It's great to see our local city and many of our favorite businesses getting so much attention. This will probably inspire more people to move here...which is great for sellers, but means more competition for buyers.

Another interesting trend that's affecting our local real estate market is the high number of seniors moving to Colorado. Did you know that this is one of the top places in the country to retire?

Also, it’s that time of year again for back to school...and the good news is, your kids can do their homework on Pearl Street now because Google has brought free WIFI to the pedestrian mall. Shya!

Thanks for being such awesome friends and clients and for all your support and trust. It’s been an awesome summer and now it’s time for go back to school and to go Phishin’! Don’t forget to give to your favorite charity this month! All the best you. Thank you, HATCH

Hi friends, Happy New Year! I'm coming to you this month of January, not from the trail or the river, but from our 1964 Dodge pickup. My knee is repairing from an injury and so that's why this month is FROM THE TRUCK. Kristin and I  and our friend Lynn chose three words to help guide us through this new year: Patience. Discover. Capture. We're going to try to recall and embrace these words when necessary. You can try, too. Feel free to subscribe to my channel or like my video. I hope you enjoy! Have a happy new year, HATCH

Boulder County Buzz - October 2016

My iPhone vibrated on the wood surface of the bedside table at the Snowmass condo we were vacationing in. “RACE CANCELLED!” is what the email read at 6:03am. Ugh, I grumbled, seriously? We’ve had a glorious fall season with abundant sunshine, deep blue skies and vibrant foliage. And the sunsets? Unreal! But it seems like the one weekend we actually had rain, snow and cold temps, was the weekend of my Annual Aspen Golden-leaf Half Marathon. Snow that had fallen overnight pushed organizers to cancel the race for safety reasons. My friend Paolo and I were disappointed. We’d trained hard for the race, but we were reminded that mother nature can change the game and alter your plans.

FROM THE TRAIL - PART SEVEN

Hi friends, I apologize I missed the July session of FROM THE TRAIL. Too busy honestly, between work and fun. But the busy month was reward by a trip to Cali to catch Live Phish and then the kids came from Boulder and we did the SF tourist thing. Check out the view from Lombard Street in SF in Trail #7... I hope you enjoy! HATCH
