Columbine West Real Estate is Boring, but Steady!
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.
