I hope that you’re enjoying the first full month of spring! Despite the slowest start to spring home sales in five years, things are looking up according to the March RE/MAX National Housing Report. Here are a few highlights from last month’s report.



1) Sales were 8.6% lower than March 2018 – the lowest year-over-year in five years.



2) March sales rocketed up 29% over February.


3) The number of homes on the market grew for the sixth month in a row.



Want more details? Send me a message and I will forward the latest!



So, what does this all mean for you? It’s a great time to be in the market. There are more homes for sale on the market, prices have only increased slightly year over year, and interest rates are falling. If you’re thinking about making a move this spring or summer, let’s get started. I’d be happy to evaluate your home and talk about your wants and needs for your next home.



If you’re not in the market but have questions about our local market, please don’t hesitate to call, or reply to this email.

Advice to Sellers:



The Metro Denver home market is moving forward with Spring.  Think about a Seller Counseling Session.  This will demonstrate your home value, set expectations, reduce risk, know what can and cannot do, outline the process, inform you of what Buyers are doing, and provide resources.  Learn about the value of renovations and or upgrades, decluttering, and preparing the home. Buyer demand will continue as we see more Buyers in the market. Homes are now taking a little longer to sell and price appreciation is minimal.  Buyers always will determine what your home is worth.  As a Seller, focus on 2019 and the changes in the home market.
