market update: December 2023 Market Update - 12/14/23 10:17 AM
The market has been fairly stable overall with small changes but nothing like the escalated market we had in recent years.  With higher interest rates and the resultant decrease in demand, there has been downward pressure on home prices.  However, just in the last two days things have changed, at least in regard to interest rates.  They dropped to the low 7s and as of 12/14, they are at 6.82% and trending lower.  How will the market respond?  Are these rates low enough to significantly increase buyer demand?  Time will tell…
In this episode I’ll take the usual look at how the … (1 comments)

market update: July 2023 Market Update - 07/19/23 08:06 AM
Many variables are impacting our housing market. Overall, compared to last year, the housing market in Northern Colorado is stabilizing. No major changes in one direction or another. I think many buyers and sellers are holding off due to higher interest rates and some uncertainty with regards to the economy. There are buyers and sellers out there moving forward but it seems more people are in a wait and see mode. What will change that? When mortgage interest rates get below 6% and stay there for a while. Hopefully, if the experts are correct, that will happen by years end.
