August 2017 – Montrose Colorado Real Estate Market Update

Montrose Real Estate Market 2013-2017 Historical Recap

Atha Team Montrose Colorado Real Estate MarketThe Montrose Colorado real estate market has proven resilient with sustained growth trends over the last four years, not only in the number of home sold, but also in home value gains. Homeowners, once underwater in mortgages acquired during last housing peak, have been able to sell at a profit over the last few years. The equity gain over the past four years averaged close to 8% annually, while the number of homes selling per year experienced advances between 8% and 17%. This has truly been a phenomenal season in the Montrose housing market, especially when looking back since 2010 when the Montrose market bottomed out.

Atha Team Montrose Colorado Real Estate MarketA tapering in the market appears to be the theme of 2017, with equity gains down 4% relative to the same period last year. Also, the number of units sold is up only 1% from the same time period last year. Several factors may be contributing to this leveling out of market activity including: affordability, price gain sensitivity, and tight inventories. Years end should provide a better assessment of the 2017 housing market.
