📊 November 2024 Colorado Front Range Real Estate Market Update 📊

This November, as we head into the holiday season, the Colorado Front Range real estate market is cooling off.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the current landscape:
🔻Sales Decline: Sales are down across the region, as high mortgage rates and afordability concerns have many buyers pressing “pause” on purchases. This trend is most noticeable in higher-priced homes.
🏡 Rising Inventory: With fewer buyers, homes are staying on the market longer, creating more options for buyers and more negotiating power — a holiday gift for those ready to make a move!
💲Price Adjustments: Sellers are starting to adjust prices, especialy for homes needing updates, as buyers become selective.
🌎 Buyer Trends: Many buyers are seeking afordability and focusing on move-in-ready homes. Sustainable features are especialy popular in areas like Boulder and Fort Colins.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers:
🎁 Buyers: This holiday slowdown could be a chance to negotiate a great deal! Act quickly on homes that meet your needs.
🌲Sellers: Price competitively and highlight unique features to stand out in this more balanced market.

Andy is my business partner/mentor and has been guiding me along this real estate journey. I am super grateful for his wisdom, expertise and leadership. He has been an excellent resource and, as always, an even better friend. Here's to achieving goals!!

🔍 Curious about the latest changes in real estate commissions?

The new rules:
💲Starting July 2024, sellers and agents can still pay a buyer’s agent, however, they can't offer commissions to buyers' agents in the MLS.
📄 Also, Buyers must sign an agreement with their agent before house hunting.

What this means for you:
🏠 Sellers, offering concessions to a buyer's agent is and always has been an excellent strategy to bring buyers to the table!
💵 Buyers, *protect your interests* by working with a buyer's agent and signing an agreement before house hunting. As your agent, we hold a fiduciary to you and must act accordingly.

👩🏼‍💼 Questions? I'm here to help! Let's stay informed and navigate these changes together.
