Salida Home Sales – April 2016
Winter, and especially the first quarter (Jan-April), is usually the slowest time for the Salida real estate market. There usually aren’t many sales or buyers in the market – just lots of Realtor’s waiting for the Spring. This year is much different –the number of sales is about the same as last year, but that’s only because buyers are having a hard time finding something to buy. 27 homes have sold so far this year, 20 homes are currently under contract, leaving only 16 homes on the market. This is a 2 month’s supply at the current rate of sales (typically 6 month supply or less is considered a seller’s market).
Why all the interest in Salida?
Colorado is the 4th fast growing state, and Denver is the 6th fastest growing city in the country. There are currently about 3,000,000 people in Denver, and it’s projected to grow to 3,300,000 by 2020. While Salida’s population is about 5,500; Denver is projected to grow by 6,250 people per month for the next 4 years! Denver is adding one Salida per month, and its real estate prices are following suit (as is congestion, traffic, rent etc.). It’s reasonable to expect a lot of those Front Rangers to cash out and move somewhere close by, but a little smaller. Like Salida.
