Maybe they have felt the squeeze while working from home themselves and needed a bigger space to accommodate new office needs. Whatever the case, across Northern Colorado, we saw the …Read More

Not to be outdone, Greeley posted near record home prices in August as well. The big boost was record low interest rates for purchases, providing a little bit more buying potential for those buyers who have been struggling to get a h…Read More

Across the board, the region saw incredible increases over July 2019 sales figures while continuing to hold steady (or slightly gain) on median values as well. The majority of the sales in July come from contracts that were executed late in May or through June, after all showing restrictions were removed. Once …Read More

The reason I like looking at DTO instead of DOM is because days on market can vary for so many different reasons. The closing time…Read More

Across the board, sales were up double digits, and prices even grew in most markets - these sales were the result of contracts written in the late April/Early May timeframe. As showing re…Read More

May sales data was the hardest hit by the COVID pandemic as in-person showings were shut down or completely restricted from late March through April, when executed contracts would result in a May closing. As a result, May 2020 sales figures look like a horror flim, however, low sales didn't negatively affect prices in the slightest.

With nearly every buyer and seller I work with, I get the question: "What are the best upgrad…Read More

We actually have a little bit of data to help us understand just how the market is reacting in the wake of the most strict COVID restrictions.
