The Real Estate Wonk Bonk

For those with an affinity for numbers, here are the statewide and regional housing statistics for the second quarter of 2013.*


STATEWIDE:
  • Number of sales (detached and attached homes) rose to 28,068, an increase of 16% over 2Q12.  YTD sales increased just under 17% compared to the same timeframe in 2012.
  • Number of new listings (detached and attached homes) rose to 42,348, an increase of 16% over 2Q12.  New townhouse and condo listings were greater than detached home listings.
  • Median sales price rose to $260,000 for detached homes and $170,000 for attached homes.  This represents an 8% increase over 2Q12.  Median sales price is not an average of all home sales prices but the middle point, which may not be a good representation of activity in a short timeframe.
  • Days on the market decreased 25% for detached homes and 29% for attached homes.  Ask your Realtor to do a little digging into TRUE days on market and days to offer, which can reveal a more accurate picture of any local market.
  • Number of active listings on the market at the end of 2Q13 was 33,256.  Looking at the days on market numbers, this represents a 4.6 month inventory for detached homes and a 4.1 month inventory for attached homes. 
  • All regions showed a decline in sales from banks and other mortgage lenders (foreclosures).

NORTHEAST REGION (Boulder, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Weld):
  • Number of sales (detached and attached homes) increased 16% over 2Q12.  Attached home sales slightly outpaced detached home sales.
  • Number of new listings (detached and attached homes) increased 15% over 2Q12. 
  • Median sales price rose 4% for detached homes and 9% for attached homes.  Median sales price is not an average of all home sales prices but the middle point, which may not be a good representation of activity in a short  timeframe.
  • Days on the market decreased to 81 for both detached and attached homes, a 25% drop from 2Q12.  Ask your Realtor to do a little digging into TRUE days on market and days to offer, which can reveal a more accurate picture of any local market.

  • Median sales price rose to $284,000 for detached homes and $164,000 for attached homes.  Represents an 9% increase over 2Q12.  Median sales price is not an average of all home sales prices but the middle point, which may not be a good representation of activity in a short  timeframe.
  • Days on the market decreased to 45 for both detached and attached homes.  Ask your Realtor to do a little digging into TRUE days on market and days to offer, which can reveal a more accurate picture of any local market.
