Northern Colorado Real Estate 2025 Update: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

Northern Colorado Real Estate Update: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

The Northern Colorado real estate market is always evolving, and if you’re considering buying or selling a home this spring, here’s what you need to know about the latest trends in Fort Collins and Loveland.

Market Trends in Fort Collins and Loveland
Currently, the median sale price for a single-family home in Fort Collins is $605,000, which is down 3.2% from $625,000 a year ago. Meanwhile, Loveland is seeing an increase, with the median price up 1.8%, from $490,000 to $498,000 compared to last year.

This means that buyers may have a bit more leverage in Fort Collins at the moment, but let’s add some perspective: Last May, Fort Collins’ median price was $665,000, and Loveland’s was $551,000. So, sellers, the spring season could bring more opportunities for you as the market shifts.

Inventory and Market Conditions
Right now, we’re sitting on about three months of inventory, with the average days on market (DOM) at approximately 45 days—a trend that has been consistent over the past year.

This level of inventory suggests a balanced market, where buyers have time to consider their options without rushing. However, with spring approaching, increased demand could tilt the market back in favor of sellers.

What Buyers Should Know
If you’re a buyer, this is a great time to explore opportunities, especially in Fort Collins where prices have softened. While interest rates may remain a concern, there are strategies to help manage costs:

• Rate Buydowns: Work with your lender to explore temporary or permanent rate buydown options.
• New Construction Incentives: Builders often offer competitive financing packages with lower rates.

What Sellers Should Know
For sellers, spring is your season. Now is the perfect time to start preparing your home for the market. You might be receiving off-market offers, but keep in mind that broad market exposure can drive multiple offers and higher sale prices. With the spring uptick in buyer activity, competition among buyers can help you maximize your return.
