Castle Rock Market Update - March 2015

 

 

Town of Castle Rock

The Castle Rock real estate market for the month of March reflected a dramatic increase over February's sales.   These stats include Castle Pines and Castle Pines Village, single family detached homes as well as multi-family homes, courtesy of Joan Cox, Metro Brokers House to Home, Inc.

Joan,

 Castle Rock sounds like a great place to call home especially if you are in your 30's! Great looking homes! How is the snow?

Joan-Castle Rock does sound like a great place to live. For the under million dollar homes, sixty-two days on market sounds like a great statistic.

Joan Cox wow - everything is on rise (and all good stats - except days on market, which is marginal only!)

Lovely picture of the highest priced home sold (was it on market for 889 days? Wow! Almost 3 years?)

Like David says, Castle Rock is less expensive being a bit further from Denver proper, yet a great community!
