     Many factors come together to create the answer to the question of how is the real estate market in northern Colorado. Here are a few things to think about. If you want to discuss specific areas or topics, I am ready to help out with more details.

Here are some interesting facts...
     Weld County continues to experience strong population growth. Between July 2023 and July 2024, it added approximately 9,529 new residents (about 2.6 % growth), the highest among Colorado counties. 

     Employment in Weld County rose by about 2.6 % year-over-year in Q1 2025. 
The unemployment rate stood at around 4.0% in August 2025, down about 0.9 percentage points from a year prior. Median household income has risen meaningfully: since 2010, it increased ~19.4% in Weld County. 

     In September 2025 the median sale price for all home types in Weld County was about $493,225, up ~0.9% from a year earlier. Homes have taken an average 64 days to sell (vs. 55 days a year earlier).

     Weld County remains more affordable compared to many Front Range markets. For

example, home prices are lower than in Denver/Boulder, so Greeley/Weld County is more inticing to people looking to move.

     The city of Greeley is advancing major development: one noteworthy is the “Cascadia Project”, a ~300-acre mixed-use development (arena, housing, entertainment) which aims to bring ~11,000 new residential units, hotel/convention and much more. 

     Home prices in Weld County are likely to inch upward modestly (low-single-digit increases) rather than major jumps over the next 12 to 18 months. Rental growth (especially in newer multifamily) may remain muted until lease-up finishes and supply stabilizes. O

     Development of major projects (like Cascadia) will take several years — early movers which align with infrastructure will benefit. Affordability relative to Denver/Boulder will continue to attract people to Greeley supporting demand for housing, retail and services in the region.
     If you’re a homeowner, now is a strategically good time to sell. Pricing your home correctly is more important than ever. My understanding of local compareable properties will matter. If you’re buying, consider stability of taxes, growth forecasts and anticipate moderate appreciation rather than rapid gains.
    
     If you’re an investor (residential or commercial), I suggest exploring established communities. For commercial/industrial properties, consider the Greeley/Weld County corridor for your next property. If you’re a business, Greeley/Weld County offers strong workforce

growth, younger population and more affordable cost base than many Front Range options. 

What does this all mean? The Northern Colorado region, particularly Weld County and Greeley, is in a phase of steady growth. 

I can pull data on specific neighborhoods. Let me know and I can prepare information about particular neighborhoods.

Budget-Friendly Front Yard Tips For Getting Your Home Ready for Fall Fun or a Fall Listing Date

1. Start at the Front Door Your front door is the welcoming threshhold for friends coming to visit, family visiting over the Holidays or potential Buyers. An easy way to freshen up your front door to give that great first impression is to paint it. The most popular color these days is classic black. Other colors are navy blue, red, yellow andsage green. It all depends on what feel you want your entry way to look. Painting is an improvement that can be made fairly quickly and inexpensively. 2. Consider Function and Style I have found that my front porch is an area for decompressing or relaxing before the day starts or ends. You can create a personality just for your entry way. Add a seating area, plants, fun mementos, colorful pillows or fun accents. I have a cement turtle about to eat a wire sculture of a grass hopper. Of course, the turtle never accoumplishes eating the grasshopper. You know how slow turtles can be. 3. Upgrade the Lighting Lighting plays a dual role—safety and amb...

Non-sexy Real state Topic: Insurance

Image
 There are many steps in the process of preparing to buy or sell real estate. We can meet up to talk about these at another time. Part of this process does include insurance. I know, I just lost many of you. No one likes to talk insurance, but it is a very important part of home or property ownership.  Section ten of your contract to purchase refers to the Insurability of the propery. This is actually one of the areas tht the Buyer can terminate the contract. Why? Let's Explore. There is a date  in the contract that is called Property Insrance Termination Deadline. This is based on any unsatisfactory provision of the availability, tems and conditions and premium for property insurance. This is the Buyer's sole subjective opinion.  So often, Buyers breeze past this deadline thinking they can adress this at a later date. Big mistake. As your Realtor, I will insist that you research this and get terms in place. There have been so many changes that obtaining insurance i...
