Happy New Year!
2011 Numbers are In ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a glimmer of hope that the Summit County real estate market may be toward the end of the market decline that we have felt for the last few years.
The number of sales were up in homes 15% and in condos 9% compared the last year and last year was up compared the the year before. The average price was down 9% on homes and 14% on condos. A sign that the sellers were getting more realistic on their pricing. Vacant lots are still very low with only 82 sales reported in the multi list system.
These numbers along with the unusual (compared to the last few years) activity at the end of the year and so far in January are giving me a good feeling about 2012. Another positive sign is the Denver market seems to be improving, Summit County tends to follow behind.
So, what does this mean to you as a potential buyer. Interest rates are still unbelievable (the last two closings I had the buyers got 4% for a 30 year fixed rate loan) and there is still a good inventory of properties (but not as much as two years ago). Maybe you have been waiting for the bottom of the market, no one can tell that until it has passed. In the meantime you could be enjoying Summit County with your family.
I have the statistics on my web site. Here's a link were you can see the history of number of listings compared to sales. Ten years of Summit County Sales Statistics are here and this shows the sales by type of property and area.
Give me a call with any questions.
Update on my listings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five Acres located in Blue Valley Acres about 30 miles north of Silverthorne and 10 miles south of Kremmling. Fenced with sage brush removed - it would be a perfect horse property. It already has a 30 by 40 foot garage on the property. Private fishing on the Blue River. $139,000. Here's more information
In Keystone a rare three bedroom condo in the Wild Irishman complex. The floor plan features a spacious open living area with a real wood burning fireplace and sleeps up to 8 without any difficulty. Close to the pool and hot tub. The large deck is great for relaxing and appreciating the beautiful grounds. $289,000. Here's more info, tour and video.
The three bedroom condo in Chateaux d Mont sold in December for $487,000. That buyer got at deal!
The listings in Heeney are off the market for the winter but the sellers would still like to sell.
Here's the list of everything. The latest information on my listings.
Check them out, now I've got YouTube videos on a lot of them.
Lender News ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It looks like buyers with good credit and money for a down payment can get a 30 year loan for less than 4%! This can't last long.
Rates are always changing, if you would like to know what you can qualify for let me know. I can put you in touch with great lenders.
