Second Half of 2025 Expected to Yield More Activity
Mesa County’s real estate market saw a sluggish first half of the year with unit sales increasing almost 4%. The positive news is that inventory that many buyers have been waiting for has grown over 15% compared to 2025. This bodes well for a solid second half of 2025 when the majority of buyers enter the summer and fall market.
Sellers today, whether on the market now or contemplating a move, need to evaluate the market carefully and price for today’s conditions. While pending sales are higher, they have not matched the elevated inventory. Unique homes, new construction, and properties priced at or even slightly below perceived market value is where sellers are seeing the most activity. Given the breadth of available homes, sellers will be tasked with ensuring not only their pricing is in-line, but also their home. Preparing for a summer sale and aligning your home for the best possible activity and ultimate sale price is an art as much as a science. From exterior appeal to staging, minor improvements and pre-inspections, if you are considering a sale this summer, let’s talk about how to best position your property to maximize its appeal to the most number of buyers.
Beyond real estate, be sure to get outside and enjoy everything the valley has to offer. From arts and entertainment to our diverse recreational opportunities, the valley is alive and teeming with options for everyone. Whether you are in town or planning a visit, I look forward to connecting with you in the near future – on the trail, the golf course, river, farmer’s market, or concert.
Enjoy this special season in the valley!
