Design by Sarah McGarry
🎁 Ho, ho, ho, current and future homeowners! As the snow blankets the scenic landscapes of Colorado Springs, let's take a cozy dive into the December 2023 housing market and unwrap the numbers that define the pulse of real estate.
📉 Showings Dance to a Seasonal Beat
December saw 7,874 showings, a festive parade of potential buyers exploring their dream homes. While this marks a 7.54% decline from the previous month, it's important to note that holiday seasons often bring a bit of calm to the real estate hustle. Buyers might be sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace rather than actively house hunting. 🎄☕
📉 Inventory: A Winter Wonderland of Opportunities
The market painted a winter wonderland with 1.90 months of inventory, a 21.49% drop from November 2023. Fewer options could mean heightened competition, making this a great time for sellers to shine. It seems like the elves were working hard to wrap up those homes! 🌟🏠
📈 Listing to Sold Price: A Holiday Miracle
In the spirit of giving, the listing to sold price ratio showed a heartwarming increase of 1.53% from November 2023, reaching 100.6%. This indicates that sellers are getting nearly their entire asking price, a jolly good sign for those looking to cash in on their property investments. 🎁💰
📈 Days on Market: Patience Pays Off
Despite the winter chill, the average days on market rose by 15% to 46 days. It seems like buyers are taking a bit more time to decide, perhaps envisioning cozy winter nights in their potential new abode. Sellers, don't fret – patience is a virtue, especially during the season of goodwill! ⏳❄️
📉 Average Sold Price: A Frosty Dip
The average sold price for December settled at $519,961, a 6.28% drop from November 2023. This chill in the air could be attributed to the seasonal slowdown or adjusted buyer expectations. However, it's worth noting that the market remains robust, and these fluctuations are a natural part of the real estate climate. 📉❄️
In Conclusion:
As welcome 2024, the Colorado Springs housing market has presented a mixed bag of festive surprises. Sellers can still deck the halls with successful transactions, while buyers may find a winter retreat that warms their hearts. Keep your scarves tight and your real estate dreams alive – here's to a prosperous and home-filled 2024! 🏠🎉
