Monthly Market Snap Shot - HIghland February 2012

Sales increased a bit in the Highland real estate market in February 2012. There are many buyers wanting to take advantage of the historically low interest and wanting to move to one of Denver’s hottest neighborhoods.   Inventory remains a challenge as it remains low, especially in the $400k and below price range.  Several properties in this price range have gone under contract in less than a week with multiple offers.  The market remains a seller's market with 4.5 MOI for single family homes, and an even hotter seller’s market for condos with 1.42 MOI.  A seller’s market means the seller has the upper hand in the negotiation process and sellers can expect to get very close to asking price for their property. 

If you are, or have considered putting your home on the market, now is a great time.  The further into the spring and summer selling months we get, the more competition there will be on the market .
