Hello all who read!

I haven't posted in a while, and most I talk to have stated the slack in the market and slowed down with others who have backed off on buying/investing. I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.

I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

Top Housing Markets for 2025: Cities Where Home Sales Are Set To Soar

I operate and invest in Pueblo West and Canon City currently, and it has for sure been a softer market for sales. Rentals have remained pretty hot outside of common slower times around holidays. With that said, I have personally seen a lot of activity in the last two weeks. When I'm by realtor offices the phone is ringing. I'm starting to see and hear signs of interest in real estate, and anticipate that if there is an increase now that it leads to a busy spring and summer.

I would like to hear from others who are localized to Colorado and just see what you gals and guys are seeing and experiencing as well. Are you starting to see what Julie from realtor.com is predicting? I know her prediction doesn't state today, but for activity to jump in February and then again in May to June that doesn't appear to be in a common volume trend of a "normal" year if that exists anymore!

Appreciate all opinions and thoughts! 

Happy Investing, Be Great!

    I don't see much data to back up these wild claims in the article. Trump has said he plans to keep owner occupied rates at 6% through 2026. With rates high, I don't see much changing in the market as buyers struggle to afford a mortgage.

    Zeona,

    I can agree that there is no display of facts, and is it just her opinion??

    I also work with a lot of people who want to buy a house, but as you state it is a struggle for many people.

    Thanks for your input from Boulder!

    I am in Longmont, which is a suburb of Boulder. My buyer funnel has never been more full, without me doing any aggressive lead gen. One day a trend not make, but yesterday I have a listing that had a shockingly high number of showings, like 10 days worth of showings, and I also showed a buyer client a property that has been on market for 30 days and now has 3 offers on it. I think seasonality is starting earlier, but if people are starting this early, ahead of inventory bottoming, we could have a pretty crazy spring.

    Nathan, it sounds like you're seeing some of the same type of activity in the last week we have had down here too. I'm leaning with you in the thought that the seasonality is starting earlier. In fact, I've had several people who I have talked to who are stating that they are looking to beat the summer season. Agree, I've had the 1 to 4 day trends too like the moons aligned. I can only think that this grows as we move into the typical buy/sell season.

    I assume that your buyer funnel is full, and a lot of people have the want to buy with a constraint or two (rate mostly) of some sorts and you're working with them to execute their purchase at the right time while working around their constraint. I'm finding that this strategy is helping people, building repour with people, and continuing to keep business moving forward while some say it's hard and sit on the sideline to wait until there is mass movement.

    Appreciate your time and reply and good to hear that you're experiencing some similar action a couple hours' drive away.
