The Loveland CO February 2012 Real Estate Market Report shows mixed signals, with sales down, but prices continuing to improve. The slowdown in sales is most likely a result of seasonal effects, since underlying economic conditions have shown no significant change, and we still think that the improvement in median and average prices is probably from sales activity shifting to higher price ranges, and not indicative of any shift in actual home values.

In the meantime, prices continue to be very attractive and interest rates are remaining at all-time lows, so buyers interested in taking advantage of good opportunities should check out Loveland CO Realty for a closer look at what is currently for sale. If you something that catches your interest, please give us a call - we'd be happy to show you any of these homes at your convenience.

The real estate market in Loveland CO continues the trend of recent months, with relatively slow sales although there has been an improvement in median and average prices - but that could be a reflection of sales activity shifting to higher price ranges, and is probably not indicative of any shift in actual home values. We will continue to wait for improvements in the regional and national economies to trigger any real improvement in the local real estate market.

In the meantime, prices are still very attractive, and interest rates are at all-time lows, so buyers ready to take advantage of some great opportunities should check out Loveland CO Realty for a closer look at what is currently for sale. If you do that and run across something that catches your interest, please give us a call - we'd be happy to show you any of these homes.

Hello, it's Nanci Garnand with RE/MAX Alliance and we are back in full swing this new year with 15 homes on the market in Loveland and there's a lot of variety. We've got some new construction, horse property, homes on acreage and a few homes great for a first home or investment.

My pick today for a first home or rental property is 2514 W 25th Street. It is a HUD home but you've got an opportunity to build equity which is great for a first time home buyer. If you are looking more for a rental property, then this property would be equally as good.

Check out the remaining 14 homes on our tour. You just might find the one for you! If not, I'd love to meet you for a cup of coffee and we can talk about what's going on in real estate today and how that fits with your real estate investment philosophy. Give me a call at 970-622-1846 or email me at Nanci@SellsRealEstate.com.
