Greetings once again, my Friends! I hope you’re reveling in the delightful August weather here in Colorado.

Rest assured, I’ve meticulously handpicked a couple of noteworthy events for you to enjoy during this month.

Local Pulse – May 2023

Hello again, Friends! I hope everyone has been enjoying the beautiful (and sometimes unusual) weather here in Colorado. There is plenty to do in and out of the city as Spring rolls into Summer – if you’re not sure what events are in town, I always include a few in each of these emails. I’ve moved the two featured events this month to the top to highlight them.

As for the housing market, inventory rose by 2.3%, which is to be expected, but even with the increase in seasonal inventory the Denver metro is in need of more inventory. April saw 7.91% LESS homes sold than March, though that trend is unlikely to continue as we head into the busiest time of the year.

Local Pulse – April 2023

Hello Friends! We’re well into 2023 now and things are going to start moving quickly in the Real Estate world. Last month we saw a dramatic increase in housing inventory in the Denver metro area. As with every year, the market picks up steam in Spring and carries it all the way through to the end of Summer. This means more inventory, but also pairs with higher prices as more home buyers look for homes in the warmer months than any other.

Additionally, I want to thank you all for the ongoing trust you’ve given me over the years and hope that these newsletters and other resources I send provide you value.

Local Pulse – January 2023

Welcome to 2023, friends! I hope you all had a pleasant 2022 with friends and family. It’s a brand new year and it’s always an interesting time in the real estate world. Prices and inventory are usually down until late Spring, and days on market is generally up. It’s a great time for buyers to find the right home and sellers to find the right buyer, as there isn’t as much of an urgency in the Winter. Last month we saw average closing prices decrease 2.69% and median close prices decrease 1.42%. This tracks with the decrease in inventory and a general competitive edge that buyers have during colder seasons.

Local Pulse – December 2022

As 2022 winds down and December comes to end, it’s always a great time of year to pause and reflect on the good, the bad, the comfort we felt, or the struggles that we have overcome or are currently battling. It’s always helpful to find a community that you can celebrate and share burdens with, so it is my hope that you have found one this year – whether it is family or friends, online or in-person. I am thankful for those in my life and wish you all a Happy Holidays! If you would like to chat, don’t think twice, just pick up the phone and give me a call – I’ll be happy to talk about anything you may need!
