Wow! I'm so excited for the new year and what it will bring to each of us. I'm also excited that there is so much to write about this month. I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season. It was fun and interesting at the Snyder house... as always. I hope you have [...]
What to Know. Last Email of the Decade! Stats & Suns. Each month in 2020 we will gather at 300 Suns Brewery for a stats presentation and open discussion on the market. On January 9th, 2020 we will review the previous month, previous quarter and previous years' sales results. We will also take a peek [...]
I have a lot of smaller topics this month so this should be fun. Let's get this rolling by getting a few "givens" out of the way. Inventory: up; days on market: up; prices: up slightly; year-to-date sold: up; and monthly sold: slightly down. No surprises there. I probably could have written that without actually [...]
Where to start this month? I guess I'll begin with a few astonishing numbers that showed up in the October stats. I call these numbers astonishing because of what I wrote about last month. In the 30 days since I sent the September stats out, I received more positive calls and emails about that report [...]

I may have misled you. It was inadvertent if I did. I doubt if it caused any problems, but we are going to talk about this and how it happened. I hope you'll forgive me. Over the past four or five months I've been reading the charts and commenting to you on the Year-over-Year (YoY) [...]
Back in January of this year I make a couple of predictions about the Longmont real estate market in 2019. I also tried to describe what I mean by prices flattening. Both were typically long-worded explanations. I now have a very good visual and a single number that will hopefully clarify. In order to see [...]
Thank you all for the great responses to my last stats report. I guess you like the chunks of data from within the data that I went through. Great... because I'm doing it again. There are some interesting things that came up from my analysis. Most importantly, carve out 8 minutes to listen to the [...]
In my 12 years writing about local real estate statistics I've mentioned several time how much I love doing it. I'm a stats geek who loves looking deep into the numbers and I guess I'm foolish enough to write what I think for public consumption. But honestly, the last few years have been a little [...]
