Staying Steady

Because mortgage rates have not decreased yet this year, many are wondering what that means for Northern Colorado home sales.

Transaction count is staying relatively steady compared to 2023.

Total sales year to date are down slightly (6%) versus last year.

At this point in 2023, there were a total of 1434 closings in Northern Colorado.  This year there have been 1350 – 84 fewer.

Five by Five

Here’s a fun fact about the current inventory along the Front Range.

The number of properties for sale is five times as many versus the all-time low in 2022.

And, it is one-fifth as many compared to the all-time high in 2006.

Also, it is half of the long-term average.

So, selection is much higher than the frenzied 2021/2022 market.

However, inventory is still very low relatively speaking.

No Omens

Shakespeare famously wrote, “beware the Ides of March” in reference to March 15th.

However, when it comes to luxury real estate, there doesn’t seem to be any bad news on the horizon.

Instead, properties priced over $1 million are certainly on the upswing.

So far this year, there have been 26% more sales of luxury properties in Larimer County compared to early 2023.

And in Weld County, luxury property sales are up 36%.

Strength in the luxury market is certainly an indicator of the overall confidence in Northern Colorado real estate.

Normal Timing

After three years of abnormally low Days on Market, properties today are settling into a more normal and more reasonable length of time on the market.

Days on Market today stands at:

53 Days in Larimer County

66 Days in Weld County

Back in 2021, for example, Days on Market was roughly half of today’s number.

Buyers today are discerning, and proper pricing is more important than ever in order to meet a Seller’s timing goals.
