Hello Everyone:  I've had clients request an overview of Residential sales in the Loveland, Colorado area.  I thought I would also share the information below with you too.  Statistics show price changes from 2013 through the end of 2022



 Hello Everyone:  Below you will find Real Estate Statistics for an 11 county area around Metro Denver. These numbers came from First Alliance Title.



 Hello everyone: 

Below is an article that gives an overall view of what happened in Real Estate in 2022

2022 Statistics from Recolorado.com

Closed Prices

The median closed price of a residential property was 12% more than in 2021—and 55% higher than five years ago! In the Spring, buyers paid an average of 6.8% more than the original list price. However, home price growth did slow during the second part of the year as demand eased. The end of 2022 brought price reductions and sellers who were willing to accept offers lower than the original price they listed. In December, buyers paid an average of 5.7% less than the original list price.

The most active price range, in terms of closings in 2022, was $500-600,000, which represented 20% of all residential property sales. While closings decreased overall in 2022, there was an increase in sales in every price range above $700,000 as home prices remained high. Closings of homes priced above $700,000 increased 5% from 2021 to 2022.

Days in MLS

The pace of sales slowed considerably throughout the year. During the first part of 2022, contracts were executed on homes in a median of four to five days. As demand decreased in the second part of the year, median days in MLS increased significantly. In December, properties were actively for sale in the MLS for amedian of 31 days.

This is a Blog and not a “website”, however, I choose to use a blog because it gives me the opportunity to post items I believe are important for buyers and sellers to read off and on.  As you can see, I have not posted in many years.  The reason:  I have been working for a Real Estate Company and had a website through their company.  I am presently an Independent Realtor, part of Loveland/Berthoud Real Estate Association and the Independent Realtors within that group.  So, I decided to go back to my old blog and utilize this instead of creating a website.  I find that websites are good, but most of the information you find on one Real Estate Agents website you can find about anywhere.  I am hoping to find time off and on posting something you might not find everywhere.  Hopefully, I can find time for that.  If you want to look for Homes for sale in Colorado the best site I have found is Recolorado.com  this site is where Real Estate Agents in Colorado Post their homes for sale.  It is real time and you will not miss properties listed because it shows up as soon as a Real Estate Agent makes it go live.  If you need help let me know.  It is very user friendly. I love sharing my knowledge!!! If you have any Real Estate Question, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.  303-880-8771 or dwambs@msn.com  I also have a strong network of people I know in the Real Estate world overall so if you need a Mortgage, Title work, Inspection etc. give me a call.

Real Estate Term of the Day: FLASH SALE –

 a listing that goes under contract within 24 hours of its being placed on the market.

 Denver has had 115 Flash Sales within the last 5 months and we expect to see many more as "Buying Season" heats up while our inventory remains depleted.

According to Redfin Denver was in the top 9 cities across the country for having FLASH SALES!

The inventory in the Metro Denver Market is still the lowest it has been in many years. 

What a GREAT time to sale your home. 

This month I  had buyers that put an offer down on a home that was on the market for 24 hours and the seller had received 5 offers total.  Because of the creative offer we developed I was able to get my buyers under contract on this home!

Trends show prices will continue to rise and interest rates will continue to rise, so if you are thinking about buying a home NOW is the time before you end up paying higher interest rates and higher prices and get less of a home than you can buy now.

Real Estate News

 

Happy New Year! Now that the holidays are over it’s the perfect time to talk about what I think the real estate market will look like in 2013. So let’s jump right in.

According to Fannie Mae’s Dec. National Housing survey, Americans believe that home prices will rise 2.6% in 2013.  This number is TOO LOW for what has been happening and what will continue to happen in the Metro Denver Market. I decided to give you some concrete facts because I have found that many people have no idea how HOT the Metro Denver Real Estate Market has become.

Average Home Price: The average price of a home in Denver leapt 14% in 2012, surpassing even the most optimistic forecasts (including my own!). I believe this year will be almost as strong with an average price increase of 8-10% and here’s why: The number one driver of home price change is the amount of inventory on the market. In 2007 we had a peak of 27,500 properties on the market and prices dropped 14%, while in 2012 we averaged 10,000 properties on the market and prices went up 14%.
I will be posting several times in the next few days with more info on 2012 stats.

REAL ESTATE NEWS for Metro Denver: December 2012
 

Starting in March residential homes prices began leaping upward and have not stopped since. In September, something happened that has not occurred since 2007. 

 For the first time in five years the average price of a metro Denver home exceeded the prices we hit at the top of the market back in 2007!

 This is a stunning comeback for our market which is typically the Housing cycle is a 7 year cycle. So looks like we are in the beginning of the upward swing of the 7 year cycle! 

The metro Denver real estate market continues its incredible recovery, leaving our downturn a distant memory. Consider these facts:
·         The inventory of homes for sale is down 30% in the past 12 months.

·         The number of sold homes is up 11% in the past 12 months.

·         The average Days on Market is down 34% in the past 12 months.

·         The average price of a home is up 13% in the past 12 months.  

The condo market is extremely strong right now. In 2011 the average price of a condo in metro Denver went up 16%. Incredibly, prices are up another 18% so far in 2012. The inventory of condos for sale is at a record low of 2.4 Months of Inventory (MOI) where a balanced market would have 6 MOI. It appears that prices will continue to rise. So, if you are serious about purchasing a condo or a home it might be a good time to get serious. The longer you wait the more you will pay and the less you will get, as well as potentially paying a higher interest rate.

TITLE INSURANCE
 
Every time I work with a Buyer or Seller they ask about Title Insurance.  I find it can be very confusing, so I have a description of the two kinds of Title Insurance below and why they exist. 
Title Insurane Descriptions 

If you have recently purchased or refinanced a home, chances are you have had to get title insurance. Basically, title insurance protects you against problems affecting the title to your home. There are two types of title insurance—a Loan Policy, and an Owner’s Policy. A Loan Policy protects the lender for the amount of the loan, while the Owner’s Policy protects you, the homeowner, for your investment in the property—your equity. In both cases, the title process covers an exhaustive search of public records to make certain the title to the subject property is clear, and covers against future loss if a claim against the property is made. While discovering an issue with your title can seem rather remote, one out of every four title searches reveals a problem with the title. Examples include tax liens, forged signatures in the chain of title, recording errors, title search errors, undisclosed easements, and title claims by missing heirs and/or ex-spouses. Fortunately, these problems would be uncovered in a title search before you even close on your home.
