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.

Columbine West Home Sales in 2010

by John Basila

As the year comes to a close, it's a perfect time to provide an update on Columbine West Home Sales in 2010.

This past year was actually a good year for Sellers & Buyers in Columbine West, an active community in Littleton, CO.  Since 2007, there have been an average of 4 homes sold each month in Columbine West.  There were 10% More Columbine West Home Sales in 2010 than in an average year.

I wish that I could confirm that prices improved, but there are a number of factors that play into pricing.   On one hand, the average Net Sold price dropped a little in 2010 from last year.  However, compared to 2008 when we had the most Foreclosures in the neighborhood, the Average Sales Price performed as expected.

The good news for Columbine West Home Sales in 2010 is in looking at an apples to apples comparison over the past few years.  The average Cost Per Square Foot has remained fairly stable, and the Cost Per Square Foot (Finished) has improved.

Littleton, CO Housing Market Is Stable

by Littleton Realtor John Basila

Great news for homeowners and potential Buyers - the Littleton, CO Housing Market Is Stable!

Over the past few years, I've talked with many potential Sellers and Buyers about market trends.  No Seller wants to sell at the bottom of the market, and no Buyer wants to miss out on the best deal possible or have their newly purchased home decrease in value.

There are a number of factors combining together to make this a great time to Buy or Sell a home in Littleton.

With the recent tax extension agreement by Congress, the continued sell-off of Treasuries and the improving economy, Interest Rates are beginning to rise.  In the past month, we've seen a significant increase in mortgage rates.  The sub-4.0% days are gone.  There's still time to lock in these low rates, but analysts expect them to continue to rise up near the 5 percent range by the end of 2011.  Still, these are fairly good rates!

Based upon my analysis of recent MLS information from Metrolist, The Littleton, CO Housing Market Is Stable.  All comparisons are YTD 2009 -vs- YTD 2010. The number of homes sold in Littleton, CO is up about 3 percent this year.  Although the newspaper reported a "sensational" drop in the Denver Metro in November of 25% from 2009, take statistics with a grain of salt.  Looking at Year To Date figures, instead of one month, gives us a much broader understanding of what's really going on. 

The Average Days On Market decreased during this same period, from 89 Days to 86 Days.  This means that the average home in Littleton, CO takes less than 90 Days to sell.

Another  bright light in the recent statistics is that Home Prices in Littleton, CO are improving! There are two numbers to consider with pricing.  One is the MEDIAN, the other is the AVERAGE.    Median means half of the homes sold for more than this price and half of the homes sold for less.

The Median Price for a home that sold in Littleton is up 3% over 2009.

The Average price for a home that sold in Littleton is up 7% YTD over 2009!! Although the news outlets might still be hammering on any bad news they find about the housing market, at least you know that the Littleton, CO Housing Market Is Stable.  Heck, I'll even venture to say that our little neck of the woods is improving!!

If you're a Seller that's waiting for the market to improve, or if you're a Buyer trying to get the best price and lowest interest rates, now is a perfect time to act!  Contact your Littleton Realtor, John Basila, for a complimentary "no obligation" consultation on how this might be a great time for you to Buy or Sell your home in Littleton.
