Littleton, CO housing market

About 33 percent of listings in Littleton have taken a price cut, and that one number sets the tone for the whole market. It says a lot of sellers came in expecting more than buyers are willing to pay. The typical home value now sits around six hundred seventy-eight thousand dollars, down about 2.7 percent over the past year, so values are softening rather than climbing. There are roughly one thousand one hundred fifty homes for sale, with about 660 new listings added, so buyers have real choice. Homes are taking around thirty-nine days to sell, which is not frozen, but it is enough time for buyers to negotiate. With a median list price near six hundred seventy-two thousand dollars, the asking prices are landing close to actual values, though clearly not close enough for a third of sellers. If you are selling here, the lesson is simple. Price it right the first time. In this market, the homes that overreach are the ones sitting, then cutting, then selling for less anyway.
