July Market Snapshot with the MacGuire Team

We continue to see indicators of a strong real estate market, which is wonderful news! With a new month means new local real estate market conditions in El Paso County, Colorado. Check out the market insights of what June looked like and how it may affect you if you are planning on selling or buying a Colorado Springs home.


Average Days On Market
While inventory is increasing, the average days on the market is still very low at just 23 days, compared to the historically recorded 67 days. Because of the lack of inventory, and steady increase of motivated buyers, homes are still selling quickly. This is great news for the seller who's hoping to move their property quickly.

Listing vs. Sales Prices
We continue to see strong list price vs. sales price as sellers are receiving an incredible 100% of their asking price. The historical average is 96.3% for the El Paso County area within this time of year. Inventory being low is playing a factor in the listing vs sales prices being so close in numbers. Sellers are able to entertain multiple offers from motivated buyers to determine which one will meet their financial needs most closely. However, multiple offers are definitely more prevalent in certain price points.

Average Sales Prices
Comparing July 2018 to July 2019, we've seen a 7.2% increase in average sales price this year. Colorado Springs remains a very price driven market with 82.7% of all home sales under $450,000.

Buyers: Your Realtor Representation is FREE!
Buyer representation is free and it does not increase the price of the home. However, if you complete the builder’s registration, it may prohibit you from having a Realtor represent YOUR BEST INTEREST.

However, if a person or family is ready , willing and able to purchase a home, we believe that owning is much better than renting. And we believe that now is a great time to buy. We are not the only ones that think owning has massive benefits or that now is a sensational time to plunge into owning your own home.  Here are a few others: Benefits of Owning Joint Center for Housing Studies, Harvard University “Homeowners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while households that rent pay down the principal of a landlord…Having to make a housing payment one way or the other, owning a home can overcome people’s tendency to defer savings.” The Federal Reserve “Renters have much lower median and mean net worth than homeowners in any survey year.” Benefits of Buying Now Trulia “Buying costs less than renting in all 100 large U.S. metr
