A Word From a Homie Expert
Phillip Kranefuss, our Head of Real Estate in Colorado had this to say about the market:
“While we’re still in very much a seller’s market, this is a good time for buyers to get a bit more aggressive as we’re seeing lessened competition in the marketplace – with less offers per listing (and in some cases, only one offer coming in before the listing goes under contract) and offers not bidding as aggressively over list price. We’ve also seen a slight pull back in prices month over month in August, and at the same time there is a reduction in listings volume, which tells us that the demand side is softening up even more.”
