Keeping in mind that month-to-month fluctuations in the prices of homes sold is normal, the long-term trend line continues to suggest an upward trend in Loveland home values.

The Month’s Supply of Inventory (MSI) rose to 2.3 months as a result of lower sales, but continues to indicate a strong seller’s market.

Summary:

As is normal for this time of year, the Loveland real estate market appears to be moving into the less active fall market, with sales, prices and inventory all showing decreases during September. We’re anticipating a gradual decline in sales and inventory for the next couple of months, with a somewhat larger slowdown coming during the winter months, as is also traditional. However, because the economy is expected to continue generating employment - and even some wage - growth, we expect buyer demand to remain higher than normal through these slower times.
