REAL ESTATE NEWS - MONTROSE, DELTA & OURAY COUNTIES
Inventory Up 9% as Buyers Come to the Market
The unofficial start to summer - Memorial Day weekend - has come and gone, the area has come alive with activity and warmer temperatures. Rivers are approaching their peak flows with abundant runoff from the winter snow, golf courses are teeming with activity, and trails are being utilized by hikers and bikers. All our favorite recreational activities, combined with the start of the Montrose Summer music series and a myriad of other events and we are excited to welcome the warmer days and cool evenings back!
This is also our busiest season for real estate sales. Inventory continues to grow with available homes increasing 9% in Montrose and Delta compared to a year ago. Abundant options in most price ranges and communities means it is an ideal time if you are a current home buyer in Montrose County. What the inventory increase also highlights is the importance of judicious pricing for sellers looking to make a move. With interest rates still elevated, buyers are more critical than ever and listening to the market (and your broker) is important to determine where to position your home for its best success in attracting buyers.
New construction remains attractive to buyers and often commands a premium price in today’s market. Ultimately, real estate is hyper-local and if you are interested in either a current valuation of your home or want to begin the home-buying search, let’s connect to discuss the area, community dynamics, and set you on the best path this summer.
Until then, I hope to see you in the area during this truly special season. There is so much to do and experience and I hope you get to enjoy all of it!
