Home Price Indices

Last week we shared an article from the Wall Street Journal that noted that we seem, Nationally, to have seen the bottom of the Real Estate Market.  Below is a chart compiling CoreLogic and the Case Shiller Composite Indexes showing home price fluctuations over the last three years.  Case Shiller shows 2% price increases Nationally.

This next chart illustrates the percentage change in home prices on a state by state basis.  Colorado's overall pricing trend shows a 4.8% increase.


However, in La Plata County, home prices are showing a trend that is nearly flat with the median home price being $301,849 in 2011 and $299,975 in 2012.

As you can see, signs are positive that the Real Estate market is stronger Nationally and Statewide, which are trends we hope to see transition to our local market.  The facts are the number of homes sold in La Plata County has been increasing for three years, and the number of homes on the market has diminished significantly as compared to last year.  All of these signs point to an improving Real Estate market, and we would hope to see prices of homes increase in the next 1-2 years.

As always, please feel free to contact our office with any questions or concerns.

It seems that the number of home sales are increasing. How are the prices in the market compared to years past?
