Summary:
There isn’t anything really remarkable about the July real estate market results – it isn’t unusual to see slight sales and price drops and inventory gains. More importantly, there is as yet no indication that national and international political and economic effects have begun impacting our local northern Colorado markets. But again, we need to point out that our current data is based on contracts mostly written 1-2 months previously and therefore lags behind current events.
Because we don’t have data on the number of contracts in process, we have to rely on our daily experience to give us a feel for how the market is going, and as we reported in the same vein last month, the northern Colorado real estate markets seem to be functioning normally and with good results.
As always, we’ll be watching closely and we’ll do our best to keep you informed. And please know that we’re always here to answer your questions and concerns or just chat about real estate – please give us a call anytime.
