Summary:

On the surface, the numbers are typical of a normal spring real estate market, with increasing sales and inventory, and home prices more or less stable. The numbers look pretty normal for a Northern Colorado springtime.

What is going on beneath the surface - the impacts of economic uncertainty, increasing prices, a shortage of affordable housing and rising unemployment, along with the chaos from the international political and trade situations currently playing out – have yet to have a significant impact on our local housing market. And that may be because real estate has traditionally been a relatively safe harbor for protecting value during difficult economic times, but as yet, we have no direct evidence of that as a motivating factor in keeping the market active.

As always, we’ll be watching the local real estate markets closely, along with national real estate trends, and we’ll do our best to keep you informed. And please know that we’re always happy to answer your questions and concerns or just chat about real estate – please give us a call anytime.
