July 2011 Red Feather Lakes, Colorado & Livermore, Colorado Real Estate Market Snapshot

It’s challenging to be upbeat when the real estate market seems to be moving along at a snail’s pace, especially when we saw the market reports for the first half of 2011.

SHAZAM!   

July 2011 shows improvement!

.

As you can see from the chart below, July out-performed the monthly average for the 1st half of the year in every category, and this is typical for this recreation market.

Looking at the pending sales, it appears we are headed upward into August, also.

.

 

July, August, September and October traditionally show more sales activity than other months.  Ponderosa Realty and other real estate offices in the area are reporting more strength in sales than in the past 2 years. 

108 Active Listings – Livermore Vacant Land

Hi Mary!  This IS good news and hope that August is even better for you!  Those upper elevations have to be much, much cooler than down on the plains to the east.  Best wishes for a great August and September!

Thank you Sharon  Hope you have a SHAZAM! great weekend! :-)

 

Thank you Gary, the pendings are encouraging I can't wait to see what the ends of August tells.

 

Juli, that's so nice of you to say! Thank you-  I would like them to call me, of course! Now, if I had clients moving to Scotsdale, I would have them contact you!

 

Hi Jane,  it is good news to see the number tick up a bit.  Thanks Jane, my market is much smaller than L.A. - and you have your pulse on the market there too!

Janna, I hope your numbers turn upward soon...although you probably had a much better winter than we did- activity wise.

 

Michelle, I agree good news is always great to hear and great to pass along!

 

SHAZAM! Myrl!  It's doubtful that Livermore or Red Feather Lakes will be a  leader - but I guess you never know! LOL

 

Thanks Ann, I appreciate that!
