Listing Prices Are Great, From Omni Real Estate

Time to Sell!!!
Are you a homeowner, thinking about listing your house? It is the time to do it now. The market is responding and it is responding in a wonderful way here in the Summit County Mountains. 

The first time in five years, asking price has hit a high. Nationwide as well as in our Colorado mountains sellers are seeing the price of their homes rebounding. Knowing that we are seeing interest rates going up from the all-time lows now is the time to list with Omni Real Estate.

With the increase of asking price there does come some contingencies. From last year inventories across the country have gone up by seven percent. With increased prices there is a lot more competition as well. This is another example of the market responding.

Coming off the lowest level of ‘for sale homes’ in a decade the Summit County selling market is coming alive. We are not out of the woods yet we are still on average 12 percent lower than pre-market crash.

Reasons for the inventory of ‘for sale homes’ is low have a few different contributing factors. Mainly millions of homeowners still owe more than what their homes are worth. Value of homes especially in the mountain regions are up around eleven percent. Other reasons inventory are down include: people are not willing to take less than what they ‘think’ their home is worth, not willing to take less than what they paid for their home, and many people really locked in a great low mortgage from 2011-2013.

In Summit County low inventory has allowed sellers to truly drive the price of homes. It is believed that with the lack of inventory and direct competition that sellers are becoming greedy with prices. We are seeing it this spring many more homes and condos are coming back on the market helping to even out the pricing equation.

Omni Real Estate will help with Comparative Market Analysis to ensure that our buyers and sellers are putting themselves into the best situation for success. We will not let our clients over list, our pay too much for a given listing. Please contact us with any questions or concerns concerning your home or the purchase of you Summit County Dream Home.

Late October in the Colorado mountains feels like the hush between verses: most aspens have dropped their gold, leaving pale trunks against slopes dusted with the season’s first snows, while stubborn pockets of color cling in shady draws. Mornings bite—frost on sage, a skim of ice on puddles—and afternoons thaw just enough for crisp, blue-sky walks on quiet trails. Elk wind down their rut in the meadows, moose browse willows along creeks, and jays and chickadees animate otherwise still forests. Towns shift into shoulder-season rhythms: patio chairs stacked, woodsmoke in the air, and snow guns testing at night as ski areas eye opening day. It’s a time for swapping bike helmets for beanies, stacking firewood, and savoring those last warm rays before winter settles in.

Mid-October in the Colorado mountains is that quicksilver hinge between fall and winter: golden aspen stands have mostly dropped their leaves, leaving white trunks glowing against evergreen hillsides; mornings bite with frost and the first sugar-dust snows flirt with the high peaks before melting back by afternoon. Elk bugles fade as the rut winds down, cotton-candy sunsets arrive earlier each day, and trails shift to mixed conditions—dry and crunchy in sun, slick with shaded ice in the trees. Towns ease into shoulder-season calm, but you can feel the tempo rising again: nights are cold enough for early snowmaking tests, fireplaces spark back to life, and every clear day feels like a bonus lap before winter truly clicks in.

As leaf season winds down in Summit County, hillsides that blazed gold just weeks ago soften to copper and straw, with aspen leaves drifting like confetti onto quiet trails and the shoreline of Dillon Reservoir. Cooler nights sharpen the air, the elk’s bugle carries a little farther, and the first sugar-dusting of snow teases the high peaks above Breckenridge, Keystone, and Copper. It’s a peaceful shoulder-season pause—fewer crowds, cozy fireplaces, and one last chance for crisp morning hikes, bike rides through leaf-strewn paths, or a reflective drive over Hoosier or Loveland Pass—before winter flips the switch and the mountains trade their amber glow for glistening white.
