Horse Property Market Report

Douglas Elbert Parker area

January 1, 2013 – March 15, 2013

 

This market report is only contains homes that are on 5 acres or more  that have a barn and some fencing.

If you would like market information that is more general or for a different location, please call me.  The market report is based on information provided from Metrolist MLS.  As result, it may not contain all real estate transactions especially if real estate brokers were not involved in the listing or sale.   

Bottom line up front:

Sellers with properties in this area, with a price tag under a million, which have been languishing on the market, need to seriously consider why their property has not sold.  Is it over priced?  Is it showing poorly?  Has it been inaccessible?

Days on Market:  6 of the 14 properties currently pending or under contract were on the market for less than 30 days.  Two of those are priced at $899,900 and $1,000,000. 

 

Summary:  Many sellers are accepting contracts on properties in less than 30 days if their properties show well and have been priced right.   It is also very encouraging that the larger, higher end properties in Franktown and Parker are also moving. 

Sellers with properties, with a price tag under a million, which have been languishing on the market, need to seriously consider why their property has not sold.  Is it over priced?  Is it showing poorly?  Has it been inaccessible?
