The Windsor CO real estate market indicators are all moving in a positive direction - good news in continuing the upward trends of spring and summer. Sales rose last month, even as we expected a seasonal slowdown that usually occurs in August, and prices were up, along with inventories. 2012 has shown some very strong recovery signs for this market, which we'll be watching closely in coming months.

Excellent opportunities for buyers can still be easily found - attractively priced homes are still plentiful and interest rates remain favorable. For sellers, the trick will be to carefully prepare their homes for market, price them competitively, and market them effectively.
