Mesa County 2022 Q4 Market Update

2022 definitely felt some shock waves from the Fed’s manipulation of the market, but liquidity seems to be holding the foundation together. Hospitality groups are seeing record breaking revenues and Grand Junction still seems to be attracting lifestyle movement at a healthy rate.
