February 2020 Newsletter

We hope your 2020 is off to an amazing start!  In January, Sara hosted her first Vision Board party.  She had a blast setting her intensions for the year amongst friends.  Svein made sure everyone had enough provisions to finalize their visions for the year.  In addition, we hosted our annual Open Real Estate Agent Appreciation dinner at Flagstaff House in Boulder. We celebrated the accomplishments of our top producing agents.  We rented a private room with a wine cellar overlooking the city of Boulder.  The food, individualized service, ambiance, and company were delightful.

Home sales have continued to exceed new inventory for several weeks, creating a slight seller’s market.  We predict that we will continue to see an upward pressure on price unless a significant amount of new inventory hits the market.   However, affordability issues will most likely keep aggressive appreciation in check.  We expect that the Colorado real estate market will continue to appreciate in 2020, but at a more manageable pace.

If you are thinking about listing your home this year, we recommend doing so sooner rather than later.  There are many buyers interested in finding the right property now.  Interest rates continue to remain relatively low and stable and we are noticing that people are taking advantage of this.  Let’s discuss what we need to do now to prepare your home for sale so that we can help you net the most money.  We are happy to help you come up with a plan. 

The average price per total square foot is up 9.6% for Boulder county and up 7.7% for the city of Boulder for single family homes compared to this time last year.   Inventory for single family homes is down 41.7% in Boulder county and down 31.3% in the city of Boulder compared to this time last year.  The median sales price has remained stable over the last few months in both Boulder county and the city of Boulder.  Average days on market is up 18% at 89 days for the county and up 27% at 108 days for the city compared to this time last year. 
  
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call.  We are your local trusted advisors for all your real estate needs.  We would love to help you achieve your life goals through real estate.

As always, we appreciate your referrals.  Thanks for your support!
