Market Update – “Behind the Scenes”

Buying and selling real estate involves emotion for most people in the Roaring Fork Valley, but now more than ever it also involves some form of investment thought process or analysis. When someone considers buying or selling stocks they typically want to know how the particular company has performed in the past, but they are really making a bet on the future. Why would real estate be any different (particularly when the real estate is bought or sold for hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of dollars)? Like any business it’s important to take a broader look beyond the numbers because stats and trends are only a small part of understanding the market. Having a grasp of the relevant market information is a great foundation.

Market Update – “Just a Gut Feeling?”

The local real estate market…what’s the story? With the regular barrage of headlines, editorials and general chatter on the streets it seems everyone has a different point of view. Well, here’s mine – the Roaring Fork Valley is truly unique in so many ways, and real estate is no exception. As a real estate professional it’s incredibly helpful to have access to all kinds of information about our real estate market, but just looking at sales trends won’t tell the whole story.

Market Update – Sales Discounts On The Move

AVERAGE SALES PRICE DISCOUNTS – A QUIET INDICATOR?

When people talk about the real estate market they often describe it in simple terms, “headed down”, “getting stronger”, “prices are increasing”, “it’s a buyer’s market”, etc. Some discussions may go a little deeper and cover topics such as Average Prices, or Price per Square Foot. One indicator of the direction a real estate market is headed is the Average Sales Price Discount - this metric is often overlooked, or even ignored completely.
