Happy Spring to my Clients and Friends!
 
I love this time of year where the grass is turning green and we are seeing more warm days than not.  Sunshine and outdoor activities are on the way!  Let us also take some time this Spring to work on a few maintenance items for our homes.  It’s important to keep up with our greatest investment, am I right?  

We had another incredible year in Colorado Real Estate in 2021.  The market continues to thrive and inventory remains tight which means we are still in a Seller’s Market.  Larimer County saw an average increase in single family home prices of 26.7% and Weld County saw an average increase of 17.1% in 2021.  Those are amazing numbers!  See the charts below to compare.

​One thing to watch out for is an overall increase in interest rates.  We have seen them tick up in recent weeks, but even at 5%, these rates are still affordable. 

​Just for fun!  A few weeks ago I participated in our local Board of Realtors’ Bowl-A-Thon.  I played on team RE/MAX and we raised money for one of our own agents that has been struggling with a medical issue that has added up to a large sum of medical bills.  I enjoyed our all girls team pictured below.  It was great to take a break from selling houses for a minute and do something charitable and social! 

​Feel free to respond directly to this email if you have questions about the Real Estate Market, your home, or just want to say hi!  I would love to hear from you.  I wish you all a wonderful Springtime.  Stay safe and well everyone!
 
Your friend in Real Estate,

​Dear Clients and Friends,

I hope this email finds you well even among the uncertainty of the Coronavirus.  Many people have reached out to me to ask Real Estate related questions of how COVID-19 and the current laws closing down businesses is affecting the local housing market.  I am pleased to report there is still activity happening! 

• This is a health crisis and NOT a financial crisis which is important to focus on. 
• Personal life changes are still driving people to buy and sell. 
• Interest rates are almost too good to pass up!  By the way, great job to many of you who took advantage of that a few weeks ago and refinanced. 
• Housing inventory continues to stay low in several price ranges allowing Sellers to get their home under contract quickly. 

On a side note, I have exciting news to share!  I have made the switch back to my previous RE/MAX office in Loveland, RE/MAX Alliance, located on Hwy 34 across from Lake Loveland.  I have a beautiful new agent office there with views of the lake!  I feel so fortunate to be back and working among great staff and agents who will provide tremendous support to me and my clients. 

It is my #1 priority to be able to serve my clients in the best way possible and I believe this is the office to do it from.  Other noteworthy news is that I recently won the RE/MAX Hall of Fame Award.  This award is based on how much sales volume I have accumulated over my career and it is an honor to hit that milestone.  A special thanks to all of you that have bought and sold homes with me and send me referrals.  You are the reason I get to do this job that I love and I am so grateful and appreciative.

​Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you or your loved ones at this unique time.  My personal cell is: 970-481-7646. If you need anything, please reach out.  I hope to connect with each of you soon.  Blessings to you!
