Market Conditions

The median Colorado Springs home price just hit a record high for a November month, at $325,000, up 7.3% from last year. At the same time, sales jumped 8.4% , and the inventory of unsold homes fell 24%.

In addition, we hit another record this month for the lowest level of active inventory for November. In 2017 we were close to these numbers (1702 in 2017, vs 1687 this month), but still not this low, and by January of 2018 we hit the lowest level we have ever seen (1229 homes). This resulted in double digit price increases through most of 2018.Normally high prices would generate more inventory, but apparently prices are not high enough even yet!

With full employment and low interest rates, it is one of the strongest fall markets we’ve seen in a while. With Pending sales up 24.1% as well, the next couple of months also look very strong for closings.
