Governor's Ranch Real Estate Sees Improvement in 2015!

by John Basila

Governor's Ranch Real Estate had an excellent year in 2015!!  Governor's Ranch had more sales and a healthy increase in prices after the so-so performance of 2014.

Overall, there were 46 homes sold in Governor's Ranch in 2015, which was well above the average of the past few years.

Like the rest of Littleton, the Governor's Ranch neighborhood faced high demand for properties in 2015.  This helped prices to increase and the amount of time spent on the market to remain low.  In 2015, the Median Days on Market remained flat at 12 Days.

Governor's Ranch Real Estate enjoyed a healthy 11.6% Increase in Median Sales Value, which was pretty close to the Littleton average of 12.3%.

Demand continues to be strong for properties in Governor's Ranch.  There are currently 3 properties that are "Active".  With 4 homes being sold every month, it's still very much a "Seller's Market" in Governor's Ranch.

Columbine Hills Real Estate Continues To Improve in 2015!

by John Basila

Columbine Hills Real Estate had another strong year in 2015.  Home sales remained steady while prices continued to increase and the length of time on the market declined.

It was a "Seller's Market" again in 2015 in Columbine Hills. Similar to the rest of Littleton, the neighborhood had a very limited inventory, which helped push the Median Days On Market down.

Overall, there were 63 homes sold in Columbine Hills in 2015, which is comparable to prior years.

With limited inventory and high demand, prices increased again in Columbine Hills in 2015.

Columbine Hills Real Estate enjoyed a nice increase in Median Sales Price in 2015.  This 10.3% increase was slightly behind the average for Littleton, which was 12.3%. 

Demand remains high for properties in the Columbine Hills neighborhood.  If you're considering selling your house, please feel free to go to denverhomereport1.com for a complimentary pricing analysis for your property.  You can also call us at (303)589-9034 or email us at columbinerealtor@gmail.com.

 

Columbine West Real Estate Has An Awesome 2015 !

by John Basila

Columbine West Real Estate performed very well in 2015.  Even though there were more properties sold in Columbine West than in prior years, prices continued to rise and the length of time properties spent on the market declined.

On average, there were 8 homes sold each month in 2015 in the Columbine West neighborhood. 

There was a huge demand for houses in Columbine West in 2015.  With limited inventory still being an issue, Columbine West was very much a "Seller's Market".  This helped the Median Sales Price increase by 14.3%, which was significantly higher than the growth of 12.3% seen throughout Littleton, CO. Click here for more information on Littleton Real Estate.

It's also taking a lot fewer days to sell a property in Columbine West.  In 2015, the Median Days on Market fell to 5 Days. 

The Columbine West Real Estate market is still very hot!  Currently, there are no properties "Active" in the MLS.  There are a number of Buyers looking, but nothing to choose from.  If a property is in good condition and priced right, it will sell very quickly.

You've probably heard it a lot throughout the last year - Denver Real Estate & Littleton Real Estate are in a strong Seller's Market, there's a limited inventory of homes for sale, prices for real estate are growing by leaps and bounds...

Denver Real Estate has been listed multiple times over the past year as a top market for price appreciation and speed of sale.  Did you know Littleton Real Estate slightly outperformed Denver Real Estate in 2015?

Littleton Real Estate prices for Single Family Residences (detached) grew by over 12% in 2015!!  The Median Value of Littleton homes sold was up to $371,000, slightly above Denver's Median Price of $342,500.

Littleton Real Estate continued to remain strong in 2015, with sales of Single Family Residences (detached) comparable to the past few years.

In a strong Seller's Market, you expect properties to sell quickly.  Littleton Real Estate was in such high demand in 2015, that properties lasted less than a week before they went "Under Contract".  Littleton Real Estate's 6 Days was slightly faster than Denver Real Estate's 8 Days.  We've developed a number of strategies that helped our Buyers & Sellers succeed in this frenzied market!

Littleton Real Estate continues to be strong, and we're still faced with a limited inventory of homes for sale.  If you're considering Selling Your House, please visit denverhomereport1.com for a complimentary Property Evaluation.  You can also email or phone us for your customized report.

Littleton Real Estate Market Is Improving

by John Basila

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.

Columbine West
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.

Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling

by John Basila

It's been a tough couple of years for Grant Ranch Real Estate, and the most recent information indicates that Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling.

There were fewer homes sold in 2010 in Grant Ranch, which extends a declining pattern since 2008.

While fewer homes are being sold in Grant Ranch, there is still a strong indication that prices have yet to stabilize. Grant Ranch Sold Prices

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In fact, it was preferable for one of our Sellers to remove their home from the Grant Ranch Real Estate market, this past year, rather than continuing to lower their price to find the "magic number".  This uncertainty in the pricing arena can be stressful on Sellers, so holding out for another year or two to put your home on the market in this community will likely lead to better results.  If you're unable to wait, interview John Basila for the job of selling your home.  His Sellers Net 99.5% of their asking price and 95% of their original asking price, both exceeding local averages.

Another indication that Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling comes from considering average sales prices and comparing them to their original list prices.  It's evident that the market is still soft.  In 2010, Sellers were only getting about 91% of their original asking price.

Although Grant Ranch Real Estate Is Still Struggling, it's comforting to know that the community hasn't been significantly impacted by foreclosures.  When reviewing all of the current Grant Ranch Homes For Sale, we do not find any Short Sales or Bank/Government-Owned properties for sale.  In all of 2010, there were only 5 foreclosures sold in Grant Ranch.

If you're a Buyer interested in moving up to Grant Ranch, now is a great time to find a "deal".  With Interest Rates still low, you have an opportunity to find your dream home at a very affordable price.  Contact Littleton Realtor John Basila for your confidential consultation.

Columbine Hills Real Estate

by John Basila

Although Real Estate conditions in a number of neighborhoods in Littleton improved in 2010, Columbine Hills Real Estate is still languishing.

Sales of Columbine Hills Real Estate improved in 2010, but prices were lower due to the continued impact of foreclosures on the neighborhood. Over the past two years, roughly 23% of the homes sold in Columbine Hills were properties that had been foreclosed upon by Banks and the Goverment.

Of the 10 homes currently for sale in Columbine Hills, three of them are either foreclosures or pre-foreclosure Short Sales.  As long as Columbine Hills continues to have a significant percentage of distressed properties, prices are not expected to improve.

Since 2008, the Price/Square Foot has dropped in Columbine Hills from an average of $140/SF down to $133/SF. 

Columbine Hills Real Estate has hopefully hit the bottom.  Over the next few months, we'll see if the distressed properties percentage declines, which would help improve pricing and offer a return to stabilization.

If you or someone you know in Columbine Hills is on the edge of foreclosure, there are a number of agencies and methods to help you save your home or, at least, save your credit.  Contact Littleton Realtor John Basila for your confidential consultation.
