January through April 2011 Sales volume is down and for the most part prices are maintaining for the first four month of the year. However if volume continues to be sluggish, one could conceive that prices may fall a little.  In Loveland, the resale year to date home sales declined 9.7% over the same period as last year. The median and average existing home price rose in Loveland 4.5% and 7.8% respectively.  New construction is seeing some light.

New construction home sales in Loveland for the first quarter of 2011 were 37, up 32% from the first quarter of 2010. That trend has continued into April, with 12 homes sold, as compared to 8 homes sold during April of 2010, with a few crucial end-of-month days still left to take that number even higher. That's a good start, leaving us with a reasonable expectation that the second quarter will also outpace 2010. The median sales price for 2011 new construction sales was $221,579, quite a change from the 2010 median price of $328,000. We'll have to dig a bit to get an explanation for that difference, but for now, our guess is that it is reflective of the return of larger regional and national builders, who are concentrating on a more affordable segment of the marketplace. Inventories are... 04/26/2011

Existing homes in Loveland Colorado seams to be on the same pace as last year. The numbers below show year to date sales volume (in # of Homes sold) from 2005 to 2011. It's early in the buying season, I would hate to make a 2011 prediction at this time. However, flat trends are good these days.   Year   Jan Feb 2005   80 164 2006   64 135 2007   60 125 2008   58 138 2009   52 132 2010   53 129 2011   68 128  New construction has definitely turned the corner.
