Predictions for the Coming Months
-
Increased Competition for Condos and Townhomes
As we move into the summer, demand for short-term rental properties will likely increase. With fewer available units, competition for condos and townhomes near popular destinations like River Run Village will heat up, keeping prices steady in these segments. -
Potential for Price Adjustments in the Single Family Market
While luxury properties are seeing growth, single-family homes may experience price reductions, especially as inventory increases and buyers become more selective in their purchasing decisions. Sellers should be prepared for longer days on the market if they are looking to achieve the highest price points. -
Increased Rental Demand
Given Keystone's status as a year-round destination, properties that allow short-term rentals will remain highly sought after, especially with summer activities like hiking, biking, and festivals on the horizon.
Suggestions for Sellers
-
Market Your Property’s Investment Potential
Buyers are particularly interested in the rental potential of homes. Highlighting how your property can generate income through short-term rentals could be the key to attracting the right buyer. -
Consider Pricing Adjustments
With the average days on market increasing and some price adjustments occurring, sellers may want to carefully consider their asking price, especially for single-family homes.
Suggestions for Buyers
-
Focus on Rental Income Potential
If you're looking for an investment property, consider condos and townhomes with established rental histories or those located near popular amenities like ski lifts, hiking trails, or the River Run Village. -
Be Ready to Act Quickly
With fewer listings and increasing buyer competition in some segments, having financing pre-approved and being ready to move quickly will give you an advantage in securing a property.
Keystone's real estate market remains dynamic, offering opportunities for both personal buyers and investors alike. Whether you’re looking for a luxury mountain retreat or a rental property with high earning potential, I’d love to help you navigate this exciting market and find the perfect fit for your needs.
