Housing Affordability

by Brandon Bidwell

We just completed a review of the September numbers in our market.

Here is the one number that is standing out to us – average price.

Prices are way up over last year. Here are the specific average price increases in each of our markets compared to September 2019:

Metro Denver = 13.2%
Larimer County = 16.9%
Weld County = 7.4%

This change in prices has of course generated questions from our clients.

To help our clients answer questions about prices and other real estate topics, we have set up a private online event with our Chief Economist Matthew Gardner.

The event is set for Tuesday from 9:00 to 10:00.

Here is the registration link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6400354351666419467

Matthew will be addressing these questions as well as many others:

What effect will the election have on the economy and on real estate?
How long can interest rates stay this low?
Can prices keep appreciating at their current pace?

This online event is for the clients and friends of Windermere. If you would like more information feel free to reach out!

Fort Collins Appreciation Ranked!

by Brandon Bidwell

The latest report from the Federal Housing Finance Authority is hot off the press. They rank 241 major metropolitan areas across the U.S. for yearly home price appreciation.

They show that, nationally, home prices have gone up 4.99% over the last 12 months.

Here’s how the major cities rank in Colorado among the 241:

#22 Greeley = 7.94%

#27 Colorado Springs = 7.64%

#63 Fort Collins = 6.34%

#133 Denver = 4.83%

#188 Boulder = 3.41%

** Interesting fun fact: In the WORST economy of our lifetime (2008 recession), home appreciation in Fort Collins only went down 2.2%. Compare that to places like Las Vegas that went down by over 35%! Now that’s a stable economy.**
