There’s something about those first slightly cooler mornings in Northern Colorado that lets you know a change is coming.
After all the heat we’ve had this summer, the little bit of much-needed rain lately has been a welcome sight. The grass gets a little greener, the air smells different, and those cooler mornings are starting to give us the first hint that fall is just around the corner. 🍂
We still have plenty of summer left to enjoy, but this is one of my favorite times of year in Colorado. Before long, we’ll be talking about changing leaves, football, cooler evenings and, knowing Colorado, probably our first surprise snowstorm before we’re ready for it!
But this month, I’m especially excited to share something new that’s happening right here in Northern Colorado.
I’m proud to share that a new Northern Colorado chapter of the Veterans Entrepreneur Network (VEN) is getting started, and I’ll have the opportunity to be part of building it as a founding member.
This is something I’m genuinely excited about.
Northern Colorado has an incredible community of veterans, military families, entrepreneurs and small-business owners. VEN is about bringing those worlds together and creating a place where veterans and veteran family members can build relationships, exchange ideas, learn from one another and connect with resources that can help them succeed.

Most importantly, it’s a chance to start building an even stronger veteran and business community right here in Northern Colorado.

As we move through August, Northern Colorado continues to be a market where price, condition and strategy matter.
Because August isn’t over yet, complete August closed-sales numbers aren’t available. But the latest July numbers give us a good look at where we’re heading.
In Loveland, July single-family closed sales reached 135 homes, up 32.4% year over year, while the median sales price came in around $550,000. Homes averaged about 66 days on market, and sellers received approximately 99% of their asking price on average.
Fort Collins showed a somewhat different picture. July data put the single-family median sales price around $640,000, up approximately 6.7% year over year, while new single-family listings declined compared with the previous year.
For buyers, there are opportunities, particularly when a home has been sitting on the market or needs some updating. Negotiation matters again, and buyers shouldn’t assume that every list price is carved in granite.
For sellers, buyers are still buying, but they’re paying attention. Proper pricing, presentation, marketing and condition can make a significant difference between a home that moves and one that sits.
And remember: real estate is extremely local. Northern Colorado isn’t one single market. Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Johnstown, Milliken, Greeley and the surrounding communities can all behave differently.
If you’re wondering what your home could realistically sell for in today’s market, give me a call. I’m always happy to put together a complimentary home-value analysis with no pressure and no obligation.
Summer isn’t finished yet! Here are a few things happening around the area as we close out August.

Fall can be a great time to make a move in Northern Colorado.
Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home, selling, investing, moving up, downsizing, purchasing land or simply trying to figure out what your current home is worth, I’d be happy to sit down with you and talk through your options.
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just good information so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
And if you know someone who could use a Realtor they can trust, your referrals mean the world to me.
