Awesome news for Sellers - the Littleton Real Estate Market Is Improving!!

Recent news from Metrolist, our local MLS, shows a continued lack of inventory and the beginning of price increases!

In February, similar to January, we had roughly 40% less inventory available to sell.  My Buyers have had a tough time finding decent properties.  When they do find something they like, we're starting to see multiple offers!  The Littleton Real Estate Market is Improving!

With this significant lack of supply, it's no wonder that prices improved 2% in February 2012 over last February.  I believe that the "bottom" of the market in Denver & Littleton has come and gone.

In Columbine West, we're down to ONE available Listing.  Since we normally sell 4 to 5 homes per month in Columbine West, that means we're down to a ONE WEEK SUPPLY!  It's definitely a great time to sell your home in Littleton and in the Columbine area!

Buyers have been coming out of the woodwork in the past few months...all they need is something to buy!  There's just a little excitement and motivation for Buyers, as Interest Rates are still very low and FHA Loans will be having more upfront fees after April 1st.

It's been a tough couple of years for Grant Ranch Real Estate, and the most recent information indicates that Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling.

There were fewer homes sold in 2010 in Grant Ranch, which extends a declining pattern since 2008.

While fewer homes are being sold in Grant Ranch, there is still a strong indication that prices have yet to stabilize. 

In fact, it was preferable for one of our Sellers to remove their home from the Grant Ranch Real Estate market, this past year, rather than continuing to lower their price to find the "magic number".  This uncertainty in the pricing arena can be stressful on Sellers, so holding out for another year or two to put your home on the market in this community will likely lead to better results.  If you're unable to wait, interview John Basila for the job of selling your home.  His Sellers Net 99.5% of their asking price and 95% of their original asking price, both exceeding local averages.

Another indication that Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling comes from considering average sales prices and comparing them to their original list prices.  It's evident that the market is still soft.  In 2010, Sellers were only getting about 91% of their original asking price.

Although Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling, it's comforting to know that the community hasn't been significantly impacted by foreclosures.  When reviewing all of the current Grant Ranch Homes For Sale, we do not find any Short Sales or Bank/Government-Owned properties for sale.  In all of 2010, there were only 5 foreclosures sold in Grant Ranch.

If you're a Buyer interested in moving up to Grant Ranch, now is a great time to find a "deal".  With Interest Rates still low, you have an opportunity to find your dream home at a very affordable price.  Contact Littleton Realtor John Basila for your confidential consultation.

If you've been looking for a bright spot in Littleton Real Estate in 2010, take a stroll over to Columbine Knolls.  Columbine Knolls Real Estate is improving at a steady pace.

When reviewing 2010 neighborhood performance, I am most-heartened by the steady improvement of Columbine Knolls Real Estate.  The neighborhood is up in almost every category over the past few years, even with a slight increase in foreclosures iin 2010.

In 2010, Columbine Knolls Real Estate also continued it's improvement in prices.  Although a three percent increase over the past few years doesn't sound very large, Columbine Knolls is bucking the general trend in Littleton.

Even better news, for Sellers in Columbine Knolls, is that it's taking a lot shorter time to sell their homes.  In 2010, Columbine Knolls homes sold 40% Faster than other Littleton neighborhoods, which averaged 88 days.

Columbine Knolls is a mature Littleton neighborhood that has great facilities, well-maintained parks and an active and well managed Homeowners' Association.  The stability and continued improvement of Columbine Knolls Real Estate acts like a rainbow to surrounding neighborhoods, who would all love to duplicate these results.

If you're a Columbine Knolls resident that's been thinking of upgrading, or even downsizing, the still-low Interest Rates and Improving Prices make this a great time to move forward.  Contact Littleton Realtor John Basila today for your confidential consultation.

Although Real Estate conditions in a number of neighborhoods in Littleton improved in 2010, Columbine Hills Real Estate is still languishing.

Sales of Columbine Hills Real Estate improved in 2010, but prices were lower due to the continued impact of foreclosures on the neighborhood. Over the past two years, roughly 23% of the homes sold in Columbine Hills were properties that had been foreclosed upon by Banks and the Goverment.

Of the 10 homes currently for sale in Columbine Hills, three of them are either foreclosures or pre-foreclosure Short Sales.  As long as Columbine Hills continues to have a significant percentage of distressed properties, prices are not expected to improve.

Since 2008, the Price/Square Foot has dropped in Columbine Hills from an average of $140/SF down to $133/SF. 

Columbine Hills Real Estate has hopefully hit the bottom.  Over the next few months, we'll see if the distressed properties percentage declines, which would help improve pricing and offer a return to stabilization.

If you or someone you know in Columbine Hills is on the edge of foreclosure, there are a number of agencies and methods to help you save your home or, at least, save your credit.  Contact Littleton Realtor John Basila for your confidential consultation.
