Average Prices

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

It’s true, average prices have increased substantially over the last year.

Would you have guessed that Weld County has seen the largest increase along the Front Range?

The specific numbers are below.

As you look at the numbers, it is important to remember that average prices have increased because of appreciation and because there are more higher-end homes that are selling.

The increased volume of high-end transactions has played a big rule in increasing the average price.

Average Price of a Single-Family Home based on closings so far this month:

  • Metro Denver = $675,000
  • Larimer County = $624,000
  • Weld County = $514,000

Average Prices exactly one year ago:

  • Metro Denver = $614,000
  • Larimer County = $549,000
  • Weld County = $417,000

Seller Facts

/in , , , , , , , /by

Here are some fun facts about recent home sellers. This research comes from the National Association of Realtors survey of home buyers and sellers:

  • 10 years = the average time recent home sellers have lived in their home. This number has remained essentially unchanged for the last ten years. From 1987 to 2007 the average was 6 years.
  • 89% = the percentage of home sellers who use a Realtor to help sell their home. This has been trending higher over the last 20 years. In 2001, 79% of home sellers used a Realtor. As the transaction gets more and more complex, more sellers seek the help of a Realtor.
  • 75% = the percentage of home sellers who found their Realtor through a personal relationship as opposed to seeking out an agent they didn’t know.
  • 77% = the percentage of home sellers who only interviewed one Realtor for the job of selling their home.

Windermere Norther Colorado Foundation Tailgate Party 2021

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

September signifies something different for everyone: for some it’s the beginning of football season, for others it’s the end of summer, but for our Northern Colorado team, September means it’s time to tailgate! Each September, for the past five years, we have hosted our Windermere Foundation Tailgate Party to raise funds and spread awareness in support of a local organization dedicated to the betterment of our community.

 

 

This year, we teamed up with ChildSafe Colorado, a non-profit that provides resources, education and treatment to victims of childhood abuse. For such an amazing organization, we had no choice but to go all out. On September 17th, 2021 we joined together as a community on to party with a purpose. Our guests enjoyed complimentary drinks, complimentary food from Pepe’s Tacos and the Ball Joint, and live music performed by Kelsey Jo and the Wildcards. Special entertainment was also available for the kids in the form of balloon art, face painting and a petting zoo!

 

 

To raise funds, custom-made cups were available for purchase and prizes donated by local businesses were raffled off. Otterbox, Walmart, Pure Barre Fort Collins, Orangetheory Fitness, Board 30 Fort Collins, Ascent Climbing & Fitness Studio, Pure Drip IV, The Cupboard, Butter Cream Cupcakery, Rally5 Crafted Eats & Bar, Jax Outdoor Gear, New Belgium Brewery, Odell Brewing Co, Coyote Gold, Smilin Faces Face Paint, Painting with a Twist, Amy Vandegrift with Skin Pretty Aesthetics, and Kali Johnson with Salon One Ten were among the generous donor who contributed to the event.

With the help of our platinum donors Elevations Credit Union and Fidelity National Title Company in Northern Colorado, we were able to raise over $4,000 dollars in support of this wonderful organization.
