Statewide 3rd Quarter Numbers



Dear Friends,

The state wide real estate statistics were released by the Colorado Association of Realtors yesterday.  Excellent real estate information is available on almost all areas of the state.  There are reports available statewide, each regional area, and the local areas including, La Plata County, Durango, Bayfield, Cortez, and others.

These reports help us understand our market as compared to other areas, and it may help understand possible future opportunities.  It has been often said that Durango is a market that follows behind the front range, and that has been true when we look at the rebound of the real estate market.  Denver and the front range led the state last year with a solid growth of about 10% in median price, while the Durango area was still flat.  This year the median price for Durango In Town is +9%, a fairly solid comparison to Denver last year.

Many of our clients and friends own properties in other areas of the state and may wish to see how those markets are recovering.  Below is a link to all of the reports.  The statewide reports are divided into three groups:

Lender Mediated Reports: (Listed as FSS’s) They show bank owned and lender assisted real estate transactions.

Congressional District Report: (Listed as LMU’s) This provides a break down for the real estate in each congressional district.

The Statewide Real Estate Reports: (Listed as QMI’s)  These are the reports you will want to review.


For individual board reports, open the link below, and it will provide the reports by the association area.  For our local area, open the DAAR (Durango Area Association of Realtors).  Cortez is FCBOR (Four Corners Board of Realtors, and Pagosa Springs is PSAAR (Pagosa Springs Area Association of Realtors).


Below are a couple of reports for an example of the type of data available.
