High End Opportunities

Low Inventory. How often have you heard that mentioned in the media, or by me on my blog!? We are at historic lows for both interest rates and available housing inventory. But, there are some opportunities for those buyers looking to sell their homes and purchase something more expensive. If you are looking to downsize or purchase a home with a more reasonable payment there are absolutely ways to do that as well and we can have that discussion next week!

Whether you are having more kids, got a promotion, or just need more space for the dog, there are a lot of opportunities for buyers looking to upgrade their home. As we know, homes are selling quickly in the Northern Colorado area. We have a shortage of new homes (I have two available right now HERE and HERE if you would like to take a look!), and a lot of buyers looking to take advantage of the amazingly low interest rates. But, as you get in to the higher price ranges, there are fewer buyers, and homes aren't receiving multiple offers as often which makes it a little bit less stressed of a marketplace. 

Check out the info below that shows all of Fort Collins' price ranges. We are still hovering around a month worth of inventory (SUPER low when a balanced market is defined by the National Association of REALTORS at 6 months of inventory).

 

 

But, if you look at the info below, we are at almost 6 months worth of inventory for homes over $750,000. So that beautiful remodel in Old Town or newer construction on the southeast side of Fort Collins will be easier to attain than fighting over a $400,000 in the middle of town.

 

 

If you have considered the possibility of selling, or just want to talk real estate or grab coffee give me a call and I'd love to meet up! Have a fantastic week!

Real Estate-Stay On Your Toes

Buyers and Sellers, there are opportunities for both parties in this northern Colorado real estate market. The only caveat to that statement is that we need to be ready for whatever comes our way and be able to move quickly. On the Buyer side, that means being proactive about seeing homes that come on the market and having me use tactics to try and find homes that have not hit the MLS yet. For Sellers that means being ready to knowledgably review multiple offers on your listing, and choose the one that gets you not only the most money, but has the best chance of closing (not always the same thing). 

I would love to talk with you in more detail about the real estate market opportunities in northern Colorado, so feel free to give me a call, I'll take you to coffee!
