Columbine West Real Estate is Improving!!

by John Basila

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.

With the softening of the Littleton Real Estate market last Fall, Sellers in Columbine West have lowered the Average List Price by about one percent when compared to last year's Average.  

With the temporary slowdown, properties for sale in Columbine West are taking longer to get Under Contract.  Over the past 5 Years, Columbine West Listings have averaged 12 Days in the MLS.  So far this year, Closed properties in Columbine West have averaged 41 Days.  With the Spring Market just now coming alive, there are currently 7 Homes Under Contract (Pending).  All of these properties averaged less than 5 Days in the MLS.  NOW is a great time to sell your property in Columbine West!!

 

If you've been considering Selling your House, but have been uncertain about the Columbine West Real Estate Market, be confident that we're Improving with the arrival of Spring!!

As a Columbine West Resident for more than 20 Years, I pride myself on my local expertise.

What Could It Hurt To Overprice Your Columbine West Home?

by John Basila

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.

Beyond most expectations, the Median Home Values for Columbine West Real Estate increased by 9.4%.

Over the past 7 years, Columbine West has averaged 6 home sales per month.  In 2016, the Columbine West Real Estate market performed better than average, with 77 sales.  We currently only have ONE home that is actively for sale, which means that Columbine West Real Estate is still in a strong "Seller's Market".  There is still a huge demand for Sellers in Columbine West.
