Total Sales for Summit County: The number of Summit County residential sales is up 16% for January through February 2015 over the same months in 2014. Average prices for 2015 are up almost 11% from the aver­age price of residential sales in all of 2014. The average days on market for all sales is up to 368 days. This indi­cates to me that there are a lot of over priced properties that eventually get sold when they reduce their price. A well priced property should sell in less than 6 months. This is a very strong start to the new year!

About 44% of our Buyers are from the front range, 24% are local, 31% are out of state. 39% of transactions were cash in January which is a little low considering how low interest rates are. Inventory is down to only 723 listings countywide, and I am still very busy even though it is supposed to be off season.

Based on the last list price of the properties sold January through February 2015…..
$200,000 to $400,000 is ALWAYS the hottest part of the market with 62 properties sold.
