AUGUST REAL ESTATE NEWS - TRI COUNTY
Listings Peak and Buyers Emerge
Available homes for sale in Montrose County likely peaked in late July, approaching numbers we have not seen since 2019 (over 450 listings). Buyers are slowly absorbing the inventory but taking a cautious approach and critiquing homes, their price, location, and condition. This is both healthy for the overall market and a good reminder to sellers that all factors, though price being paramount, will determine activity levels and the ultimate sales price.
The increased inventory levels (+1% from 2024) are giving rise to pending home sales as more options have awakened home buyers who were waiting for new opportunities to become available. Our market remains specific as each area and neighborhood can vary significantly based on both local and macro drivers. If you would like to learn more about your specific area of interest, your home’s current value in today’s market, or just have a general conversation about the summer season and expectation for winter, please be in touch – I would be happy to discuss what’s important to you.
Until then, enjoy the balance of the summer. It’s an amazing time of year here and soon, we’ll look forward to the changing of the season and the brilliance of our area.
Statistics are provided by the Colorado Real Estate Network and calculated by area. Call me for information on statistics that are specific to your neighborhood. I also have monthly and quarterly market trend reports that I can schedule you to receive so please let me know if you have an interest in receiving this type of information monthly.
