'The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists'

| With July being one of the months each year when the real estate market takes an exhale, I wanted to give a quick update in the words of the Chair of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors trends committee : Amanda Snitker, who I think does a great job of explaining the differences this year for both Buyers and Sellers: |
|

"For Sellers, pricing based on last year's peak or early 2025 optimism is proving to be a risky strategy. Today's buyers are cost-conscious, deliberate and quick to pass over listings that are unprepared or overpriced. Real-time market awareness, achieved through data-driven pricing strategies, competitive positioning and responsiveness to buyer feedback, is essential for achieving a timely sale.
For Buyers, waiting for the 'perfect' rate or perfect timing can be just as costly. While inventory is up and prices are stabilizing, desirable homes are still moving and the cost of delay in a high-rate environment adds up fast.
We do not have a bad market; it's a different market. In this new environment, those who stay grounded, informed and responsive will be the ones who succeed. In 2025, we are all navigating the market we have, not the one we expected. Real-time awareness is the most valuable asset buyers and sellers have." |

Public Speaking: My Favorite |
| | If you know me, then you know Public Speaking is definitely not my favorite thing to do. However, this past month I presented at the Denver West Chamber of Commerce regarding market trends, updates on spikes in insurance rates, and what makes one realtor different than another when we have over 21,000 actively licensed realtors in the state of Colorado. If you would like to learn more about some of these topics, shoot me an email and I would be happy to share with you: Travis.Carey@Compass.com |

| | Congratulations to June! I always say that each house is a puzzle with different factors. This home is surrounded by open space, but still in the heart of Morrison. Homes like this are hard to find, so we saw it the first day on market and offered before the first weekend. Enjoy making new memories in your new home, June! |

I want to invite you to explore my website and utilize the resources available. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a website designer, but I hope this is a useful tool for you to see previous newsletters, neighborhood videos, market updates, and my Vendor Directory. We (the Summit Home Sales Group) also completed a 'Round Table' event this past month, answering your questions on the current state of the market. Enjoy! |
