Inventory:

June 2021 saw an increase in the inventory of homes for sale for just the second month in the last year, but levels remain far below normal.

The Month’s Supply of Inventory (MSI) held at 0.5 months, still short of normal levels.

Summary:

The Fort Collins CO real estate market has shown signs of improvement over the last two months - inventory levels have risen, price pressure is moderating a bit, and, on the ground, we’re seeing a bit less frenzy among buyers. The combination of high buyer demand and low inventory during a period of extreme uncertainty presented us with unprecedented market conditions that may have now eased, and we expect upward pressure on home prices to slow. That’s good news but it’s too short a period to make predictions from, and economic conditions are yet to show real stability. A new equilibrium will eventually emerge that will reflect the new realities of the marketplace, but it’s still too early to see what that’s going to look like.
