It is too early to be predicting how 2010 will shape up so I thought it would be fun to compare February's residential sales to January of this year.  In Loveland, there were 77 existing homes sold in February compared to 52 in January. This may seem like a huge increase (48%) and it is. However the average number of homes sold since 2005 were 74.6 for February. This year's results did tie with the second highest total in the five year period.  Year to date numbers for Loveland are: Homes Sold Total $ Volume High $ Low $ Median $ Average $ 129 $29,762,635 $688,000 $48,000 $192,500 $230,718       Rob Proctor - Broker, At Home Realtors, http://www.at-home-realtors.com 03/19/2010

I have been collecting existing home sales information for a while and now that 2009 doors are closed, I thought it would be interesting to see how the Loveland Colorado existing home market did compared to last year. The results are great news. The total number of existing homes sold was 1200. Only down 2% or 19 homes from last year. This is fantastic news considering the economy. The median price only fell 2% ($196,000) as well. So with a sigh of relief and and a huge inhale, let 2010 roar! Rob Proctor - Broker, At Home Realtors  http://www.at-home-realtors.com 01/09/2010

Year to date, Loveland existing home market saw a 4 % decline in volume over same period last year.  However the median home price only fell 1%. Not bad considering.

July's existing home sales in Loveland Colorado grew 30% over June. However we are still down for the year ( -7%) when comparing to the same period as last year. We should be at 760 homes sold for the year and we are at 709. Considering the economy still not bad. The July's inventory fell from 6.7 months of inventory in June to 5.06 months. This may suggest homeowners are waiting to put homes on the market. The total dollars volume sold year to date is $164,778,091. The highest priced acheived for a home sold so far for this year is $1,100,000 and the lowest is at $21,100.

Great pages of information about Real Estate Sale Stat in Loveland Colorado.  For more details call me anytime.  As you can see in this first Slide the inventory has decreased in the lower price ranges.  This is really what we expected as the first time home buyers seeking the $8,000.00 tax credit really are being in that range.  As the economy remains uncertain we also find people are not buying the homes in the higher price ranges as much so the inventory in the higher priced homes is increasing.  For more infomation about the $8,000.00 tax credit watch the below Video.

Loveland, Fort Collins housing prices down 2.04 percent, an article from ReporterHerald.com, reports that housing prices in Loveland and Fort Collins fell 2.04% from February 2008 to February 2009 - a far cry from the 12.2% seen nationally.  "Decreases are now being driven by rising unemployment and a high demand of distressed home sales," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for First American CoreLogic.  "We didn't spike as high in our prices, so we didn't have as far to fall to start coming back," Albers said.  Loveland has a 4.3-month inventory of resale homes.  http://www.reporterherald.com/news_story.asp?ID=22785    As the below stats are showing you can see the overall absorption of property in Loveland has been a lot slower then years past and that increase in inventory and the de... 04/27/2009
