Out Now! Our updated research from December is here! Looking more in-depth, it is certainly still a seller's market as it has been for over a year now. Price per square foot values are still climbing but now at a slightly slower rate than previous months. Pushing the overall climb to just over a 30% increase since December of 2020. Looking forward the unknowns are certainly there. With mortgage rates slowly and surely climbing out of the low range they have been sitting in for over a year, buyers who have been on the fence have come out of the woodwork slightly and are now driving a slightly higher demand than previously. The real question is will we see more sellers come to the market to meet some of this buyer demand? What do you think?

Colorado is really showing up on the world Ski stage this year, especially in Aspen! Prices have been climbing consistently through the last year up 19% from the previous year driven by a listing volume decrease of 69%. With four mountain resorts fuelling the town's tourism industry and world-class Skiing, people are looking to live and stay longer than in previous years. Especially with an outdoor living lifestyle, Aspen is somewhere people from more condensed spaces, such as New York and San Francisco, are gravitating to get out of the city while working from home seems like a foreseeable future for many. On top of the general drive of prices, the luxury market is surging breaking into the range of $3,200/Sqft for the first time ever.

“When is the best time to sell my home?” is the most common question I’ve been asked during my time as a Realtor®. The answer is when it’s right for your family, your future, and your finances. But if you want to sell, the time is now in a seller’s market.
Thanks to historic lows in both mortgage rates and listing inventory, today’s home sellers are in a strong position. It’s an age-old debate how many months of listing supply constitute a seller’s market — three, four, five? — but the current 1.5 months of supply in Orange County is well below any mark. The median Orange County listing spent just seven days on the market in April, a 36% drop year-over-year. Sales prices rose over 20% to match.
Mortgage rates have been falling for two years, culminating last summer in their first-ever dip below 3%. Lower rates equate to more spending power for homebuyers, which has driven the burst of real estate activity during an otherwise tumultuous time. So, while sellers reap the harvest of faster and more profitable sales, buyers will also continue to benefit as long as rates remain low.
No one has a crystal ball to perfectly time the market, but the numbers don’t lie. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to sell your home, it doesn’t get much better than current conditions.

Here are some recent successes for our clients!

Hey Everyone! I just sent out a brief update on what the market is looking like as a homeseller. Take a look! It's the best time to sell a home in the last 10+ years!

Prospective home sellers are sitting on the country’s hottest commodity that doesn’t come in a syringe. For buyers, though, and sellers who want to buy (as is often the case), competition is heated over limited supply. In February, Orange County saw 8.3% fewer listings hit the market compared to...
