NORTHERN COLORADO HOMES

Market Update

Fort Collins, Greeley, and Loveland Gain Ground

There's plenty of talk out there: "It's slowing down", "Is the crash here?" etc. I've gotten questions at the dentist, the post office, and a brewery. Real estate is always the talk of the town, which is exactly how I like it. What I also like is providing numbers so that those seeking good info can have it to share at their next dinner party. It's what I do.

The market seems to be finding a bit more stable and sustainable normal - people forget that 10%+ gains in median value year over year is not normal or sustainable. We're not deep enough into any kind of slow down for anyone to jump to conclusions. Prices are still up compared to last year, substantially in some areas. Take a look:

Right now, atleast in the Fort Collins and Loveland markets, we're finding a bit of a psychological ceiling, whether or not it is actual or just perceived, we will wait and see. $400,000 for a median home does seem to turn off almost any buyer from out of state, and I think that even some regional buyers are considering more affordable markets, like the Greeley area with a median still well under $300,000. But, it is hard to find a home in the Greeley area these days, with just 185 sales last month. We'll keep you posted on what develops next month.

As mentioned previously, the NoCo real estate market is always changing: expanding, contracting, or leveling off. Keeping on top of the market will ensure you are prepared when it's time to make a move, a shift in the market might be subtle and I'm here to help you navigate. I'd love it if you told your friends, family and co-workers about the interesting and important information I'm always working on - educated homebuyers and sellers are empowered, and I love working with smart and intelligent folks. Let's get to work.

I provide the expert guidance, resources and confidence to easily make a move in Northern Colorado. Every real estate transaction is unique and I work closely with you to develop a plan, strategy and approach to get the most out of your next sale or purchase. If you, a friend or a neighbor have a real estate need, please get in touch with me | Jared@TheCraftBroker.com or 970.222.1049
