Of all of the neighborhoods for Littleton condos, we receive more calls for Dakota Station condos than any other. This neighborhood is a great complex of both condos and townhomes between Kipling and Wadsworth just north of Chatfield Rd. Its proximity to C-470, Chatfield State park, shopping and everything south west Littleton has to offer make it one of the best bets for Littleton townhomes in the low $100’s.

Often overlooked in this neighborhood are the few 1 bedroom condos that sell in the $80,000 range. They are smaller units, but offer one of the most affordable options in the entire city of Littleton. There is currently one of these unit available, so if you are interested, give our team a call at 303-726-1874.

We have several clients considering Dakota Station condos right now, and we had prepared this market report for them. We wanted to share it here for you to see the recent activity in the area.

For a while, homes in Aurora have always been thought of as a suburb just east of Denver. Aurora City and Economic officials are doing their best to change that perception by touting some of the big projects being planned for the city in the near future.

One the list:

1. Light Rail project along I-225
2. New 12-story tower expansion at the University of Colorado Hospital at Aurora’s Anschutz Medical Campus
3. Projected growth to 500,000 residents in the next few decades.

From The Denver Business Journal:

“Aurora is in transition from a suburb to a city,” Mayor Steve Hogan told the crowd, noting that the city of 340,000 people has been growing up to 4 percent a year in the last few years.

“Within the next few decades it will be a city of more than 500,000,” Hogan said.

Hogan spoke at a breakfast meeting of the Associated General Contractors of Colorado, held on the unfinished eighth floor of the $393 million, 12-story tower expansion at the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) at Aurora’s Anschutz Medical Campus.

The demand for Aurora condos and Aurora homes have been climbing for a while, and its a good sign that so much economic develop is in the works. It will be interesting to see if these projects make the impact they are predicting, but the past successes of neighborhoods near the light rail stations foreshadow good things.

The market for Highlands Ranch homes is in an extreme sellers’ market. Homes in the area are going under contract faster than we have seen in years and there doesn’t seem to be much relief in sight. Right now, the median days on market for any home in the Highlands ranch area is 5 day! This is less than a third of what the days on market was for the same period last year.

This 5 days on market number factors in homes in all price ranges and includes Highlands Ranch foreclosures as well. If you run the numbers for homes priced under $300,000, the median days on market number drops even lower.

Obviously this is great new for Sellers in the area, but this is causing pain and heartache for many buyers. With homes moving so quickly and so few on the market, many buyers, and potential buyers, are losing out on homes by being outbid. Most homes in Highlands Ranch are receiving multiple bids and many are going for over list price.

If you are considering buying in the area, call our team today at 303-726-1874 so we know exactly what you are looking for and can keep our eyes open for homes before they are available to the general public!

17 days on market! The median number of days for Littleton condos is just 17 days! What a difference a year makes. This number is half what the median days on market was for Littleon condos during the same period last year and is an amazing improvement over the last 18 months.

In addition, the number of sold condos in the area has increased by nearly 100 units when compared to the same time frame a year ago. The market has made a dramatic turn around.

Much of the attention on statistics and numbers has been focused on Littleton houses rather than the condo and townhome market. But the market for these multifamily units is just as hot and in many cases even more competitive. We are looking for several clients in this area and have been waiting for months to find the right home. Once a unit does hit the market, there are several showings in the first 24 hours, and usually multiple offers.

If you are a buyer looking in the Littleton area, get signed up on our email alerts so you don;t miss the next home to hit the market!
