A Summer Wrap-Up and What’s Next in the Boulder Real Estate Market
Market Update The next sixty days will tell us much about the direction of the real estate market in Boulder County. If you are reading this newsletter, you are aware that our market has been on a torrid pace since 2013. Over the past five years the average home has appreciated in value by over 60%[1] . A year ago, during the second quarter, our annual appreciation rate was ranked number 1 in the nation. In short, our market has been sizzling hot. As I have written about before, net migration to the area, a strong economy, a desirable lifestyle and a shortage of housing and buildable land have been the major drivers of this trend. However, anyone who pays attention to markets over the long term knows that all markets are cyclical. In this short update I will highlight some current trends in the market and see what that might mean for the future. Trend #1 – Slowing Sales Through the end of July, sales in Boulder County were down 3% from a year ago. This alone isn’t such a big deal. What is more interesting is looking at sales on a monthly basis. Through March, cumulative sales in Boulder County were up by 6% over 2016. The market was strong, multiple offer situations were common and houses were selling quickly. Sales tailed off a bit in April and May but that was due more to lack of inventory than anything else. Then right around Memorial Day the market noticeably slowed down. Houses that one would expect to sell quickly lingered on the market. We also started to... read more
Boulder County Real Estate Statistics – July 2017
Right around Memorial Day we saw a shift in the market. At that point properties started staying on the market longer, inventory started rising and sales started to drop. It’s normal in Boulder County to have a slow down during the summer but this year it began earlier than usual. This decrease in sales coupled with an increase in inventory has led to a slowing of price appreciation in the county. Is this a shift in the market or just a seasonal slow down? The next 30 to 60 days will tell a lot. What happens during the fall will give us a good indication of what to expect next winter and spring. See the presentation above for a more in depth view of the market as well as graphs and... read more
Boulder Area Real Estate Update – The Kearney Report Q2-2017
I have just completed the latest edition of The Kearney Report for the second quarter 2017. The goal of this report is to give you a quick understanding of the statistics and trends in the Boulder County real estate market. You can view the entire report below or you can download the PDF here. The Kearney Report 2nd Quarter 2017 Real Estate Market Update During the second quarter of 2017 the Boulder area real estate market continued to be a strong sellers market, but towards the end of the quarter there was a change in the market. In this summary I will discuss these trends as well as discuss what we might expect to see during the third and fourth quarter of the year. During the second quarter of 2017 there were 1,459 sales in Boulder County which reflects an 8.3% drop from the same quarter of the previous year. The median sales price during the quarter was $500,000 which is ironically 8.3% higher than it was a year ago. Inventory this year has been been consistently higher than the past two years and this has given buyers more choices when looking. This was especially true at the end of May when the levels of active inventory were above 2016 and 2015 levels, equal to 2014 levels and just below 2013 levels. During the second quarter, 41% (50%) of the homes sold for a price above the list price, 22% (20%) were at the asking price and 36% (30%) were below. When comparing this years numbers to last years, which are shown in parenthesis, it’s clear that the market... read moreWe Are Hiring
