The Loveland CO real estate market remains far out of balance, as evidenced by the jump in home prices. The strong gains in inventory show movement toward more stability, but we're still far short of normal levels. While prices may have finally reached a level that encourages more existing homeowners to sell and realize some substantial gains, inflation fears and rising interest rates will certainly cool housing demand somewhat. And beyond that, we have a structural problem that is getting insufficient attention - events of the last several years have seen a significant portion of our population priced out of the market, with home ownership now a dream out of reach. It's a structural problem because when real estate markets function well, the driving force comes from the bottom of the market as well as the top, and that's pretty much gone now. It's going to take while for this to play out, but we'll be watching carefully and will do our best to keep you up to date.
