2012 was a much more active year for the Berthoud real estate market than the two previous years - sales were up considerably and finished the year strongly, and prices have leveled and become much less volatile. And while inventories have fallen, the decrease has been much less than in other areas in the region. Of course, as a smaller community, the real estate market is driven to a large extent by conditions in the larger cities in the region, but as the regional economy continues to improve, this can only be good news for the Berthoud market.
The favorable location for regional commuters and a nice selection of well-priced homes and small acreages will keep buyers interested through the slower winter months - there should continue to be a moderate amount of activity. So sellers who would like to enter the market will be best served by pricing competitively and properly preparing their homes for viewing.
