Summer Real Estate Outlook

The Real Picture on the Front Range

Is now a good time? 

That matters less than how prepared you are. Here's my summer real estate market outlook, in a nutshell:

WHERE THINGS STAND…

Rates: 

• The 30-year fixed has held in the mid-6% range all year (about 6.5% in early June). 

• It isn't going back to 3%, so don't wait on it.

Inventory: 

• More homes for sale than a year ago. 

• The bidding-war frenzy has faded.

Prices: 

• Flat to up about 1% nationally. 

• In Boulder County, the median has settled into the mid-$700s, a few percent below last year. 

• Homes are taking low-40s days to sell and closing near 98% of asking. 

• A slower, still-expensive, more balanced market. Not a crash, not a boom.
  

If you're selling:

• Naming a number and waiting for the line to form is over. 

• Disciplined pricing and strong presentation from day one are what win.

If you're buying:

• You have leverage and time again. 

• Negotiate, ask for repairs, and think it through. 

• Good homes at fair prices still move, so don't stall forever.

Relocation, divorce, or investing?

• A calmer market gives you room to decide well instead of react.

That's my work: clear reads, sharp negotiation, honest counsel, no wasted overhead. I’m standing by to listen, learn, and lead!
