DURANGO - COLORADO - REAL ESTATE

Inventory and Pending Rising!
It has been a beautiful summer in Durango. A stormy spring yielded an abundance of wildflowers and great fishing and river activities. True Western Roundup, Animas River Days, Music in the Mountains, La Plata County Fair, and farmer's markets have been summer staples and brought both locals and visitors together to enjoy the events and build community.
In real estate, positive trends have emerged in the market with active listings and pending sales both trending higher yet remain slightly lower than a year ago at this time. Market activity remains strong with new listings continuing to come to market as we approach the historic peak of inventory to start August. Despite challenges with higher interest rates, buyer demand is significant. New construction and remodeled homes are capturing buyer attention and warranting strong sale prices and continued bidding wars for new and "like new" construction.
Pricing to the market remains paramount. In all geographic areas and price points, buyers remain selective and critical of price, location, and condition. Properties that have not garnered attention because of condition still have a place in the market - but they need to be priced accordingly.
If you are interested in learning more about the value of your home or curious about a specific area, please contact me today. The market remains dynamic, and I would enjoy the opportunity to discuss your specific questions and goals.
There is much to enjoy and look forward to - wonderful August events (see below), Oktoberfest, and the annual changing of leaves and fall weather. I hope you have had an opportunity to get out and enjoy everything Durango has to offer!
Statistics are provided by the Colorado Real Estate Network and calculated by area. Call me for information on statistics that are specific to your neighborhood. I also have monthly and quarterly market trend reports that I can schedule you to receive so please let me know if you have an interest in receiving this type of information monthly.
