Whether you’re searching for homes for sale in Red Feather Lakes or another Northern Colorado location, why settle only for the homes you see online? Did you know that we regularly find homes for our buyers before they are listed? Did you know that some people who are willing to sell, do not list their home for sale? With direct mail and geographically targeted social media campaigns, I can uncover hidden inventory. For you to qualify for this service, we ask that you meet the following criteria:
Today’s Home Buyer Tip: Succeeding in competitive offer situations

Northern Colorado is currently experiencing a shortage of homes, whether you’re searching for Windsor homes for sale or homes in other nearby cities. If you fall in love with a home that has multiple, competing offers, what is your strategy? Is it simply to pay the most money? Is it writing a nice letter to the owner? These things help but they are not enough.

Think of me as your project manager for the home buying process and don’t worry, my services are always free to my home buyers because the home seller offers to compensate the agent that represents the buyer. Whether you’re looking for homes for sale in Longmont or another Northern Colorado city, I can help make the process easier for you.

During the final quarter of 2015 we again saw increases in the number of properties listed for sale in almost every Northern Colorado market. The number of new properties that hit the market in Fort Collins rose 13% when compared with the same period in 2014. Other markets followed suit with increases ranging from 7% in Longmont to a 23% increase in Windsor. This increase in listings is the continuation of a trend we identified in the 3rd quarter of 2015. During those months our agents felt the market softening a bit; but we weren’t sure if it was the fall slowdown, or the market losing steam. Now that we’ve seen the increase continue for 2 quarters, we think the trend could continue and begin to slightly cool this blazing hot seller’s market.
Fall is typically a time of year when real estate activity slows a bit. The summer selling season is winding down, most folks with school aged kids worked hard to complete their move during the summer so the sales volume slows once September rolls around. So when our team began to see signs of a cooling market this fall, it was tough to know whether it was the time of year, or an indication that market conditions are changing. Showing activity on listings slowed, price drops became more common and we noticed some listings that we expected to sell in a matter days sit on the market for a few weeks or in some cases months. Is this just a fall flop or has our market peaked? Let’s check the numbers to find out.
