Loveland Charmer

by Fort Collins

545 E 5th Street is a charming and well maintained home in downtown Loveland. Who doesn’t love a great front porch for sipping your morning coffee? Great landscaping with irrigation and drip lines, dog run, fully fenced yard. Two of the bedrooms have large walk-in closets. One of the bedrooms is on the main floor (non-conforming – closet bar could be added back) and would be a great well-lit den or the 3rd bedroom. The kitchen is recently remodeled, new windows, 2 furnaces and 2 AC units ensuring that both upstairs and the main level are properly heated and cooled. Oak hardwood flooring, built-in book shelf, and a gas fireplace in the living room make the home feel cozy. Back yard features a great 2-car garage, a large shed with electricity, and an awesome back patio with a hot tub. Home has been pre-inspected. Easy spot to add a second bathroom and there is a usable cellar – with access from inside the home that is not counted in the square footage.

A List Not Made

by Fort Collins

Us Coloradoans are used to making many top-10 lists.

Whether it be best place to live, best place to retire, best place to raise a family, or best place to own real estate, you can usually find a Colorado town or two on these types of lists.

But, here’s one we didn’t make…

The 10 Most Expensive Places to Live

The recent list, put together by Bungalow.com, uses data from M.I.T. and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Colorado is thankfully nowhere to be found in the top 10.

Predictably, Hawaii is at the top followed by New York, Massachusetts and California.

So, while it may feel costly to live here in Colorado, it is not as expensive at many other places.

Listing Averages

by Fort Collins

While a lot of attention has been paid to increasing sales prices along the Front Range, it is also interesting to look at the average price of properties currently listed for sale.

Did you know, for instance, that the average list price of all the properties currently for sale in Metro Denver is $887,000. Meanwhile, the average closed sales price is $613,000.

In Larimer County it is $793,000 versus an average closed sales price of $601,000.

In Weld County it is $669,000 versus $488,000.

What is causing this? The high number of high-end properties currently for sale pulling up the average.

You might be surprised to hear the number of $1,000,000-plus listings active listings in our market looks like this:

Metro Denver = 527
Larimer County = 75
Weld County = 44

2 to 3

by Fort Collins

Along the Front Range we have gone from two weeks of inventory to three weeks.

For much of the Spring, there was only two weeks of inventory on the market in most areas. Meaning, it would only take 14 days to sell all of the homes currently for sale.

Now, because the pace of sales has slightly slowed down and there is a bit more inventory, there is roughly three weeks.

We can actually measure inventory in number of days based on the pace of sales in July so far:

Metro Denver = 23 Days
Larimer County = 22 Days
Weld County = 22 Days

This is obviously good news for buyers as they have better selection and slightly less competition.
