Despite the pandemic, Denver isn’t the only area in Colorado experiencing a rebound in home sales. After a months-long slump due to stay at home restrictions, homes in Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley sold at record pace in June as buyers flooded the local market.

According to data from IRES, Northern Colorado’s listing service, in the Fort Collins area more than half of homes for sale went under contract in June. That left just 342 properties on the market by early July—a number nearly 60% lower than it was this time last year. IRES tracks home sales in Boulder, Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland/Berthoud, Greeley/Evans and Estes Park, all markets within Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties.

With increased competition for available homes, the region’s already-high housing costs inched even higher in June. Greeley’s median sales price hit $321,000. Loveland’s reached around $400,000, and Fort Collins saw median home prices hit close to $450,000.

If you’re looking to get away from the hustle, bustle and crowds in the metro area, Northern Colorado is full of  exciting communities that feature a smaller town feel and an abundance of amenities and activities. Give Metrowest a shout today – we’d be happy to show you around this charming area.
