In Demand

by Suzanne Ekeler

For evidence that the Front Range is a desirable place to live and own real estate, look no further than the average price of our real estate.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the average price of a home in the United States is $486,000.

Compare that to the average price in our major markets:

Larimer County = $662,000
Weld County = $535,000
Metro Denver = $670,000

This means prices along the Front Range are 10% to 38% higher than the National Average.

While interesting, this is not surprising given our employment growth, economic health, and quality of life in our markets versus the Nation as a whole.

Small is the New Big

by Suzanne Ekeler

The average size of new homes is dropping. This is after a two-year period that saw size increase significantly. This is according to the National Association of Home Builders’ Eye on Housing.The COVID-19 pandemic changed how much time people spent in their homes and also how they used their homes. Homeowners discovered a need for more residential space as work-from-home became more prevalent. This caused a demand for larger space.Now, as housing affordability has become more important, that trend is reversing. Median single-family square floor area fell to 2,203 square feet during the fourth quarter of 2022, and is now the lowest it has been since 2011.

Rate Prediction

by Suzanne Ekeler

FEBRUARY 17, 2023

Our Chief Economist, Matthew Gardner predicts that interest rates will hit 5.4% by the end of 2023.

His prediction is aligned with most expert real estate economists.

While rates will continue to bounce up and down as the year goes on, the general trend will be lower rates.

This prediction is mainly based on the Fed tempering their increases as inflation starts to ease in the second half of the year.

Because of this prediction, we see housing demand increasing as rates decrease throughout the year.
