Getting frustrated looking for a home in Fort Collins?

 Getting frustrated looking for a home in Fort Collins?

 

Yes, it looks like homes are flying off the shelves in Fort Collins and if you are trying to purchase one; I can only imagine how frustrating it must be.  The competition is great- as in intense- that’s not necessarily “great” meaning “good”, for buyers.

 

Today, I ran an MLS search for 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes with a 2 car attached garage in the Fort Collins area. There were 42 homes listed between $200K and $260K that fit those parameters.   Only 8 did not have a contract!

There were 2 in Wellington,

1 in the City of Fort Collins,

1 in Bellvue,

2 in Livermore (Glacier View Meadows)

1 in Red Feather

 

All very nice, but Glacier View Meadows might be a good choice!  Maybe you could take a northerly peaceful drive out of town and take a look at this one:

 

Once you pass Hwy 287 and Shields, there aren’t any more traffic lights.  No more stop and go.

It’s put the top down, turn on the tunes, set your soul free, peaceful kind of highway drivin’all the way!  Don’t worry, you read that right – no stop & go, no stop lights.  It’s a very easy commute.  You can even hear yourself think.... You might want to slow down on Hwy 287 to make that west turn onto County Rd. 74E toward Glacier Views Meadows, though!

Your listing located at 142 La Plata Dr, in Livermore Colorado looks like an outstanding home with a view.

Hi Bruce, thank you for your comments, the stats in nearby Fort Collins are incredible- it's a mad-house down there, in more ways than one!  <grinning> I like Fort Collins, I really do.
