The Columbine West Real Estate market is coasting along, so far in 2024.

We typically average 5 to 6 home sales per month, over the past five years.  So far in 2024, we've had 15 homes sold - a little behind what we would expect through the end of April.

There are a number of reasons for the decline in sales - higher interest rates than in years past, homeowners unsure of finding a replacement property, economic expectation in an election year.

The good news is that Columbine West Real Estate is showing healthy signs of being stabilized.  Although home values are a little lower than they were at the height of the recent "frenzy", they've been holding fairly steady.

Demand is definitely lower than it has been, mostly due to uncertainty and Interest Rates.  The funny thing is, we got spoiled with low Interest Rates.  If you consider that the 30 year and 50 year average Interest Rates have hovered around 7%, it shouldn't be long before more Buyers enter the market.

Another indicator of the "blah" of Columbine West Real Estate is that it's taking a little longer for homes to sell.  Even with lack of inventory, Buyers can still be prudent in the buying process.  Instead of selling in a weekend with multiple offers, Sellers are seeing more offers at List Price, and only a handful of offers.

One of the questions that comes up most often is "How's the Market?"

Littleton Real Estate is slower than normal, and Littleton Real Estate Values are holding their own.  With the increase in Interest Rates, there have been fewer Sellers willing to sell and fewer Buyers wanting to buy.

As a result, Littleton Real Estate had fewer Sales in 2022 than the average of almost 2,400 homes per year.  In 2023, Littleton Real Estate is on track to have fewer homes sold, down about 13% from normal.

Although the number of sales is down, our home Values in Littleton have pretty much held their ground.

The Average Sold Price for Littleton Real Estate is only down about 1.2% from last year's average.

There are still Buyers looking for properties.  With the Limited Inventory, however, they're taking their time and have the luxury of being pickier with the property they choose.  Average Days On Market have increased to almost a month.

This is the longest it's taken to sell a home in quite a while.

Columbine West Real Estate had a Stellar 2021!!

Littleton neighborhood Columbine West historically has had six or seven home sales every month.  In 2020, there was a significant decline in inventory and, thus, home sales were lower than normal, with only 55 Homes sold in 2020.  We had a great rebound in 2021, with a total of 88 Homes sold in the Columbine West neighborhood.  

This year (2022) is starting out slow, with only one property that's "Active" in the Multiple Listing Service (REColorado MLS).  There's still a HUGE DEMAND for properties, and Buyers are anxious to have some properties that fit their needs from which to choose.

With high demand, homes in Columbine West are selling rapidly.  If a property is priced right and in good condition, it will sell quickly.  Gone are the days of waiting 3 to 4 weeks to sell a home.  In 2021, it only took an average of 7 Days to sell a property in Columbine West.

In 2021, Columbine West Real Estate had a record breaking year!!  The Average Sale Price of a home in Columbine West was up 24%, to $566,411.  Granted, there were more homes from the newest & more expensive part of Columbine West that were sold, but there were also many sales that had Multiple Offers, which also helped boost the Average.  Hopefully, we'll continue to see these strong values in 2022.
