Market Report - Colorado Springs February 2007

By
Real Estate Agent with The Artisan Group- Keller Williams Premier Realty

February proved to be a month of change - but all over the place. Our Days on Market went down by about half a month and our Sale Price to List Price rose a tiny bit. More homes sold and went under contract, but more homes went on the market as well. And our average sales price dropped several thousand dollars. However, each neighborhood seems to be rather consistent with their activity as last month. Lets' take a look:

This data was pulled from the Pikes Peak MLS (3/9/07) and does not include most new construction, nor does it include FSBO sales.

Average Days on Market (DOM): 90 (DOWN from 104 in January2007)

  • High DOM: NGT at 125 (up from 54 in January)
    In January, WES was the highest, at 209 DOM. WES is at 116 DOM in February.

    OCC also had the lowest DOM in February, at 33 DOM.

  • High SP to LP: 100.47% in WES (up from 97.12% in January)

Boy oh boy, I wish some of those numbers would trickle down the highway to Pueblo! Your 92% sp to lp is still really good.

Dena - Why do you think Pueblo's ratios are lower?

I've never done SP/LP. We have a couple of agents in Las Vegas that tout high SP/LP rates, but when I look at SP/Original LP their numbers really fall. Do consumers really look at this, or is it more of a marketing tool for agents?

Hi John, I did not consider the "original" LP in these equations. That would be interesting ... We never really use our LP/SP ratios in our marketing, but I believe that a consumer would find it interesting.
