Question: How will the California wildfires affect the real estate market here in Colorado? It’s impossible not to think about the insurmountable loss caused by the California wildfires over the past week. Thousands of structures have been lost despite the effort of thousands of firefighters working around the clock to fight four major fires caused by Santa Ana winds that surpassed 100 mph.

There is a phenomenon in business and in society known as the pendulum effect. The period or time of each swing is not 100% predictable, but eventually the pendulum slows and stops and then reverses course. The problem is that the pendulum has a bad habit of overcorrecting. It swings past the point of balance, i.e. the middle. Originally Published: December 2, 2024 at 6:37 AM MST

Question: Is it true that interest rates are going down? Last Friday, Freddie Mac reported the lowest interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage since February 2024. The rate of 6.73% is down five basis points from the previous week, which is a big deal. Financial analysts expect the Federal Reserve will cut rates and they will drop even further this fall. We’re just happy to see rates that don’t have a seven in front of them.

I wish sellers would ask this question as often as buyers. This is an especially important question in today’s market as we continue to see things shift, adjust and correct after the COVID-19 buying frenzy. I feel like a broken record talking about the COVID market, but the reality is it did inflate prices and create an appreciation rate that simply was not sustainable.

The good news is it’s definitely not too late. The busiest months of the year for real estate in our mid/downvalley markets are July and August, so this is still a prime opportunity if you find yourself in a position where you need to sell. It usually takes a broker anywhere from one to two weeks to provide quality marketing materials in order to make the best first impression. It’s still a seller’s market simply because of supply and demand.

What goes on in the real estate industry during the holidays? Is this still a good time to buy and sell property? Winter typically is not a busy time for buying and selling real estate. Kids are in school, the weather can be challenging and no one wants to move during the colder months. Still, we all know Aspen-Snowmass is anything but typical. The winter holidays remain busy because it’s the time we have the most visitors in town.

I’ve been having this conversation with a lot of my clients. We live in an area where entry-level costs are high in our housing market. Unless you’re coming from a background where you have the funds to jump on good opportunities with plenty of capital, the cost of borrowing money is high enough to limit your buying power. There’s no denying our market is tough. Inventory remains low and demand is high to the point where prices didn’t come down much when interest rates jumped.
