Good morning, Joan -- I like when a market report for a city includes the population as I can compare the inventory levels and units sold in a period with cities/communities that are of comparable size in my area.   To me, Castle Rock seems to have a very good representation of properties available for sale -- good for buyers and with rising prices it looks as if this is a good time for homeowners thinking of selling.

Good morning Joan Cox ,

Very informative post and Michael Jacobs is right including the population puts the numbers in perspective! "Castle Rock appears to have a very good representation of properties available for sale -- good for buyers and with rising prices it looks as if this is a good time for homeowners thinking of selling." Of course buyers or sellers need to call you to guide them through the process.

As inventory "thins", we might start to see lower sales volume...just because there are less options for sale.

Hi Joan: I can almost smell the pine trees and the crisp autumn air in your post about the real estate market in Castle Rock. I've been reading that the Denver area market is on fire, one of the hottest in the nation!
