REAL ESTATE NEWS LA PLATA COUNTY
More Inventory and More on the Way
The year has started as expected, with new listings increasing – up 96% from this time last year, while closings are up 17%.
Early indications are pointing to even more homes coming to the market in the next several months. Reasons for selling vary, from interest in upsizing/downsizing to job changes, with some sellers staying in the area and others departing. Although January is a slower time of our winter season, from President’s Day weekend through mid-April, we will see increased activity throughout the area.
If you are considering a sale this year, let’s talk! June sees more listings come to market than any other month and listing activity will peak in late July/early August. Selling before our summer season may yield more active buyers with fewer homes to compete with. We can discuss the best strategies to position and price your home in today’s market.
Statistics are provided by the Colorado Real Estate Network and calculated by area. Call me for information on statistics that are specific to your neighborhood. I also have monthly and quarterly market trend reports that I can schedule you to receive so please let me know if you have an interest in receiving this type of information monthly.
