Littleton Real Estate has seen Ups and Downs over the past few years, notably due to the Covid epidemic and, most recently, Inflation and it's effects upon the economy.  With Interest Rates headed back to historically normal levels, it's taken some time for Buyers to get used to the idea of no longer having access to the Bargain Interest Rates that we've seen.

The Great News is that Columbine West Real Estate is holding it's own, although there's a lot less action in the market.  Columbine West Real Estate has historically averaged between six and seven sales per month.  As you can see in the Graph below, through April 2023, we've only had 13 Home Sales.  This is about half of what we normally see.  This is being driven by low inventory.  There are Buyers that are willing and able to purchase, so the demand is there.

Although Littleton Real Estate has seen a decline of about four percent in the Average Sales Price, Columbine West Real Estate is holding its own and even shows a slight increase of just less than one percent.  We're maintaining our home values, even in a slower market.  If your home is priced right and in good condition, there's no doubt that it will sell.

As you can see below, Sellers in Columbine West are still able to sell their homes for List Price.

Although the market isn't as crazy as it was in 2021 with all of the multiple offer scenarios, we're still getting enough offers for Sellers to secure a fair price.

Over the years, many of my Sellers have wanted to price their home for sale above what I would deem their "Fair Market Value".  As a Professional, it is always my advice to price your home correctly from the start, instead of "testing the market" at a higher price and then, after few showings and no offers, having to lower the price to a more realistic amount.

In 2019, Columbine West Real Estate offered a compelling argument for pricing correctly from the start.

Last year, Littleton Real Estate sales provided Sellers with an average of 97.8% of their Original List Price.  Columbine West Real Estate sales averaged 98.9%.  These are averages for all sales of Single Family Residences in Littleton and Columbine West.

With the Average Days On Market being 6 Days in Columbine West in 2019, you can say we have a pretty healthy real estate market!  But what happens if you "Overprice"??

There were 24 homes sold in Columbine West in 2019 that took 18+ Days to sell.  That's not so bad if you're not in a hurry.  And the highest price homes typically take longer to sell, even in this market.  However, there are issues that can come up in the mind of Buyers, ranging from "What's wrong with it" to recognition that the Listing is overpriced and that the Seller might not be realistic when negotiating.

These Columbine West homes that took triple (or more) the time to sell ended up cutting their prices in the end.  The average reduction was 3% (- $12K+) when the sales finally went through.

Although it's still a "Seller's Market", it's best to price your home correctly from the beginning.  Currently, there are 0 homes for sale in Columbine West.  Columbine West Real Estate normally has 8 home sales per month.  If you're thinking of Selling, now is the time to beat the Spring competition and get Top Dollar for your house!

Awesome news for Sellers - the Littleton Real Estate Market Is Improving!!

Recent news from Metrolist, our local MLS, shows a continued lack of inventory and the beginning of price increases!

In February, similar to January, we had roughly 40% less inventory available to sell.  My Buyers have had a tough time finding decent properties.  When they do find something they like, we're starting to see multiple offers!  The Littleton Real Estate Market is Improving!

With this significant lack of supply, it's no wonder that prices improved 2% in February 2012 over last February.  I believe that the "bottom" of the market in Denver & Littleton has come and gone.

In Columbine West, we're down to ONE available Listing.  Since we normally sell 4 to 5 homes per month in Columbine West, that means we're down to a ONE WEEK SUPPLY!  It's definitely a great time to sell your home in Littleton and in the Columbine area!

Buyers have been coming out of the woodwork in the past few months...all they need is something to buy!  There's just a little excitement and motivation for Buyers, as Interest Rates are still very low and FHA Loans will be having more upfront fees after April 1st. 

If you've been waiting to Buy a Home or Sell your Home, now is a great time to be in the market.  The Littleton Real Estate Market Is Improving!  Call John today for a complimentary consultation.
