Indicators for the Wellington CO real estate market are now starting to suggest improved conditions - May, June and July all showed good sales activity. And while prices have been declining, we think that is indicative of sales activity shifting to lower price ranges, rather than any decline in actual value. We will be monitoring this data closely in coming months, as we move into a generally slower season. In any event, there continue to be great opportunities for ready buyers, with a nice stock of attractively priced homes and continuing low interest rates.
